A method of operating a sealing monitoring system for a seal of a rotatable shaft including a flushing liquid system, the seal disposed between the rotatable shaft and a stationary housing. The sealing monitoring system includes a liquid detector to detect a presence of a flushing liquid in the flushing liquid system. The method includes detecting the flushing liquid presence status in the flushing liquid system with the liquid detector, and when the flushing liquid presence status is affirmative, transmitting the flushing liquid presence status for processing using a wireless data communication system with a first data transmission interval between the transmissions, and when the flushing liquid presence status is negative, transmitting the flushing liquid presence status for processing using the wireless data communication system with a second data transmission interval being shorter than the first transmission interval between the transmissions.

A vibration detection instrument assembly includes a vibration detection instrument and a deformable base part. The vibration detection instrument has a body part, including a support surface and an attachment screw extending from the support surface. The attachment screw enables the vibration detection instrument to be assemblable to a device to be monitored. The vibration detection instrument includes a vibration sensor to detect vibration at least in a direction deviating from a longitudinal axis of the attachment screw. The deformable base part is arranged at least partly against the support surface of the body part. The vibration detection instrument assembly includes a direction indicator arranged to indicate the direction of the vibration sensor.
