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