Q1: How many cylinder pressures can this module monitor?
A1: The 3500/77 143729-01 supports up to 4 individual channels, meaning it can monitor pressure from 4 different cylinders at the same time.
Q2: Can it work with any pressure transducer?
A2: Not all transducers are compatible. It is recommended to use Bently Nevada-approved pressure sensors to ensure signal integrity and proper operation.
Q3: Are the alarm limits adjustable?
A3: Yes. You can configure Alert and Danger setpoints through the 3500 system interface for each measured parameter.
Q4: What happens if one channel fails?
A4: The module is designed with channel independence. If one channel malfunctions, the remaining three continue to operate normally, but you should replace or service the module promptly.
Q5: Is this module certified for hazardous areas?
A5: Not all variants are certified. If required, use versions with ATEX, IECEx, or UL Class I Div 2 certifications or install the module in a certified enclosure.
Q6: What’s the typical service life of this module?
A6: With proper installation and environmental control, the module can last 5-10+ years. Preventive maintenance and diagnostics extend its lifespan.
Q7: Can I monitor data remotely?
A7: Yes, via the 3500 rack and compatible monitoring software, data can be streamed to DCS or remote systems.
Q8: What is compression ratio monitoring?
A8: The module calculates the ratio of discharge to suction pressure per cycle, helping diagnose inefficiencies, leaks, or valve issues.
Q9: What kind of diagnostic data can it provide?
A9: Apart from raw pressure values, it provides peak/minimum pressure, compression ratio, and alarm status, enabling predictive diagnostics.
Q10: What if the pressure exceeds limits?
A10: When pressure values surpass Danger setpoints, the module signals the 3500 system to trigger alarms or machine shutdown protocols, preventing catastrophic damage.
