Sensing module for monitoring conditions of a pump or pump assembly
First Claim
1. A sensing module for configuring on a vibrating machine or structure, including a pump, comprising:
- an outer shell configured with a recessed portion;
a base having encapsulated electronics with a multicolored light array that is arranged inside the outer shell, the multicolored light array being configured to respond to signaling containing information about a condition being sensed or monitored by the sensing module and to provide along a projection axis at least one beam of light containing information about the condition; and
a domed lens configured in the recessed portion of the outer shell, and also configured with a top curved surface, a bottom surface and two side lens portions with side surfaces to reflect, re-reflect and project the at least one beam as a lens illumination or glow having multiple beams of light rays outwardly from the domed lens in relation to the projection axis with a visibility of 360°

Abstract
A sensing module for configuring on a vibrating machine or structure, such as a pump or pump assembly is provided. The sensing module includes an outer shell configured with a recessed portion, and encapsulated electronics having a multicolored light array arranged inside the outer shell. The multicolored light array responds to signaling containing information about a condition being sensed or monitored by the sensing module and provides along a projection axis at least one beam of light containing information about the condition. The signaling is received from one or more of the other encapsulated electronics, including an accelerometer or temperature sensing device. The sensing module includes a domed lens configured in the recessed portion of the outer shell, and configured to project the at least one beam of light along the projection axis with a visibility of 360° for viewing from afar, by an observer visually monitoring the sensing module.
