Wireless integrated condition monitoring system

A modular wireless monitoring system comprising:

• a plurality of modular wireless monitors each including a base module configured to process, store and wirelessly transmit data based upon sensed signals, a stand-alone sensor module separate from but removably tethered to the base module for sensing a dynamic operating parameter of a machine system and for applying the sensed signals to the base module via the tether;
• and a power module coupled to the base module for providing power for operation of the base module and the sensor module, the monitors being disposed adjacent to monitoring points of the machine system;
• and
• at least one host monitor wired to a data network and configured for wireless communication with the wireless monitors, the host monitor receiving data from the wireless monitors and sending data on the data network based upon the received data.
