Claims20
A vibration monitor comprising:
- a housing;
- a sensor in the housing;
- a light pipe extending circumferentially around an outer surface of the housing, the light pipe having a first face, a second face opposite the first face, an inner peripheral surface, and an outer peripheral surface, the light pipe having a protrusion extending radially inward from the inner peripheral surface, the protrusion extending through an opening in the housing;
- a light-emitting diode (LED) disposed in the housing adjacent the light pipe;
- and
- circuitry to activate the LED to illuminate the light pipe based on a status of the vibration monitor.

A vibration monitor comprising:
- a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the second housing portion having a shoulder with an extension extending from the shoulder;
- a sensor in the housing;
- a light pipe disposed around the extension of the second housing portion, the light pipe having a protrusion extending through an opening in the housing;
- a first seal between a first face of the light pipe and an end of the first housing portion;
- a second seal between a second face of the light pipe and the shoulder of the second housing portion, such that the light pipe, the first seal, and the second seal are clamped between the first housing portion and the second housing portion;
- a light-emitting diode (LED) in the housing, the LED adjacent the protrusion;
- and
- circuitry to activate the LED to illuminate the light pipe.
