Part Number:N/A

Detect machine faults faster with the Condition Monitoring Pod^®or CMP^®.

This multi-parameter inspection Pod lets you quickly observe oil level, color and clarity, oil aeration and foaming, corrosion, varnish, wear debris and much more. You will quickly identify root causes and symptoms of failure that would have previously gone undetected.

The Pod Sight Glass is made of the same indestructible Tritan you've come to know and love. Both indicators have Viton^® O-rings to ensure a consistent seal and prevent leakage. The Luneta Pod is built to last and will save you money on lubrication costs by helping you to avoid unnecessary oil changes and machinery breakdowns.

Stop problems before they start and get the Pod today.

Identify appropriate location: Identify a port hole that is positioned at the oil level of your machine. Do not install the Pod below the oil level or on pressurized systems.
Drop oil level: Drop the oil level of the machine below the port hole to prevent spillage during installation.
Install Thread Reducer: Tightly thread the Reducer into the port hole of the machine using a wrench and thread sealer.
Check sample valve orientation: Insert the Gasket into the female threads of Reducer. Hand thread the Pod into Thread Reducer until it makes contact with the Gasket. Note the down direction for bending the Pilot Tube.
Bend pilot tube: Unthread the Pod from the Reducer and using the appropriate Tube Bender, bend the Pilot Tube down in the direction noted in the previous step. Choose a bend location and angle which best places the tip of the Pilot Tube within your machine for good sampling.
Install CMP: Tightly thread the Pod into the Reducer until the Gasket is fully compressed. Thread sealing paste may also be used.
Correct Sight Glass orientation: Thread the Corrosion Gauge into the Sight Glass port opposite the Magnetic Plug. Loosen the Locknut and rotate the Sight Glass so that the Magnetic Plug is at the bottom and the Corrosion Gauge is at the top. Hand tighten the Locknut. Note: Do NOT use thread sealer or thread locker on the Locknut. And DO NOT remove Locknut and Sight Glass unless for cleaning.
Add oil: Check that all threaded components are tight and then replenish the machine with oil so that the oil is level with the cross hairs on the Sight Glass.

The CMP is designed for use on pumps, gear boxes, hydraulic reservoirs, large vertical motors, and most other oil lubricated machinery.
Check the CMP Sight Glass daily to ensure optimal lubricant and machine conditions. Note any changes in oil color, clarity, level, foam, debris, etc. A change, especially a rapid one, is not a good sign.
Pull a sample using the attached Sampling Valve, and send it to the lab for further analysis.
If ferrous debris is observed on the Magnet, then your machine's components are wearing down.
If the Steel Indicator is corroded, then there is water in your machine and your oil's rust inhibitors have failed.
Shining a laser through the oil in the Sight Glass can also reveal particles and debris.

For use on center-line oil level ports only; Sight Glass should not be filled above the crosshair marking on the CMP during running conditions.
Do not use on machines with oil temperatures outside the range of -20°F (-29°C) to 200°F (94°C).
Do not use on machines with ambient temperatures outside the range of -20°F (-29°C) to 200°F (94°C).
For use with mineral and synthetic oils compatible with fluorocarbon elastomers (Viton) and acrylic plastic (PMMA).
Do not use on pressurized systems.
Not for use on moving vehicles.
Do not use on moving machine surfaces (e.g. reciprocating, oscillating, or rotating) or machines exposed to shock or fluid surge conditions.
Do not use cleaning solvents incompatible with fluorocarbon elastomers (Viton) and acrylic plastic (PMMA).
Do not stand on the CMP.
Do not use or add an additional thread reducer bushing other than the one shipped with the CMP. This will result in errors in oil level measurement.
Install the CMP on machine port locations that are a safe distance from moving machine parts, vehicles, and foot traffic.
Luneta LLC is not responsible for for damages associated with incorrectly installing the CMP or for improper use as outlined in this manual and on the website Luneta.com.
