Step 1: Month/Year
Connect the Guard to your plant network using a standard ethernet cable.

Step 2:
Configure the Guard to receive the asset operating conditions: kV, MW, MVar and Temperature.

Step 3:
Configure your DCS to receive the Guard output via ModBus/TCPIP protocols.

Step 4:
Configure your DCS to alert when the appropriate conditions are met, such as:
• PD is above the 75% and increasing at the rate of 100% over a 12-month interval
• PD is above the 90% and increasing at a rate of 50% over a 12-month interval
• Negative PD is greater than the Positive PD for a multi-turn coil winding
• Positive PD is greater than the Negative PD and directly correlates with load
• Increase in the number of coils with a negative flux difference greater than 3% in a round rotor
• The number of coils with less than 95% flux of the average is increasing in a salient-pole winding
• Any endwinding sensor is indicating an increase in displacement
• Any endwinding sensor is indicating vibration that correlates with load
• There is a notable change in shaft voltage
• There is a notable change in shaft current

Step 5:
Use the Iris Application Manager across your plant LAN software to analyze the data that led to the alert

Step 6:
Perform additional testing and/or visual inspections based on the results of Step 5
