activity, allowing users to view the data on the display or from comprehensive reports
using OnDemand or the new CVe Live System.
Features:
• 7-digit LCD display with a push button to move through the display modes
• 4GB Flash drive for file storage and 4+ year battery within monitor
• Water resistant with an ingress protection rating of IP52
• Maximum temperature: 190° F (90° C)
• Dimensional compatibility with Progressive’s mechanical CounterViews

Preventive Maintenance
During initialization, the initial preventive maintenance point and the PM interval are entered and saved
onto the CVe Monitor. Then, when the PM is within 10% of the initial point, the display will flash “PM Due”
as shown at right. Users can then ‘snooze’ the alert by holding for 2 seconds, returning it to Total Cycles.
When a PM is performed using OnDemand and noted as such, the date/time will be written to the CVe
Monitor and then the alert is stopped- until reaching 10% of the next PM point. If no PM is performed, the
CVe Monitor will continue to alert the user until snoozed or the PM is ultimately recorded.
Low Battery
The CVe Monitor has a battery life of approximately
4.5 years in typical molding environments where
temperatures are controlled. When the battery is within 6 months of its expected end of life, the display will
flash as shown at right. Users can then ‘snooze’ the alert by holding for 2 seconds, returning it to the Total
Cycles. The alert will appear every 30 days as a reminder to transfer the stored data to a new CVe Monitor.
Retrofit CVe for CounterView Tools
During initialization, molders can start the cycle count with the tool’s actual cycle count from an existing
CounterView or known cycles from maintenance records. Once entered, the user can see the total cycles
for the tool, which includes the count of the cycles from the counter and those run with the CVe Monitor.
In the graphic at right, the tool had 1,000,000 cycles on it originally, but ran 507,288 after the CVe Monitor
was installed.
Removal Monitoring
When the CVe Monitor is removed from the tool for any reason (ie. cleaning) the pins
on the back of the device will record an event of its removal. After viewing the retrofit
number above, the display will move into the screen shown at right, designating the
number of times the monitor was removed from the mold.
Above: OnDemand allows users to view data and keep a record of reports run,
outlining the reason for the report generation including PM, General Queries,
Revision Changes, and Repairs. Notes can be included and OnDemand records
the person generating the document for accurate history.
Left: Cables are available for use with the CVe Monitor and are required for both
connecting to the computer for OnDemand and for the Live system.
