FAQ's of Filter monitoring device PFM 13 C EX:
Q: How does the PFM 13 C EX monitor filter status in explosive environments?
A: The device continuously measures differential pressure across filters using its highly sensitive pressure transducer. Its explosion-proof design, ATEX certification, and robust enclosure ensure safe operation in hazardous atmospheres, making it ideal for applications in chemical and petrochemical industries.
Q: What are the benefits of using a filter monitoring device with IP65 and explosion protection?
A: With IP65 protection, the device is dust-tight and resistant to water jets, while its Ex II 2G Ex ia IIC T4 Gb certification safeguards against igniting explosive gases. This combination ensures reliable performance and safety for workers and equipment in challenging conditions.
Q: When should the zero point adjustment be performed on the PFM 13 C EX?
A: Manual zero point adjustment should be done during initial setup and periodically to ensure accurate pressure readings, especially after maintenance or replacement of filter elements. This keeps the measurement precise and mitigates drift caused by environmental factors.
Q: Where can the PFM 13 C EX be installed for effective monitoring?
A: The device is designed for wall mounting, making it suitable for installation near filter housings or within control panels in industrial environments. Its compact build and flexible electrical connections support integration wherever filter status needs continuous supervision.
Q: What process does the device follow to alert operators about filter status?
A: It senses differential pressure in real time and displays values on the LCD in Pa or mbar. If pressure exceeds set thresholds, the analog output (4-20 mA) can trigger alarms or automation responses, allowing timely maintenance and preventing filter failure.
Q: How is the device powered and connected for operation?
A: The PFM 13 C EX operates on a 24 V DC supply and uses screw terminals with cable glands for secure electrical connections. Its 2-wire setup and analog output ensure straightforward integration into modern monitoring and control systems.
Q: What are the primary usage and benefits for distributors or service providers in India?
A: Distributors, exporters, and service providers benefit by offering a reliable ATEX-certified solution for clients needing continuous filter monitoring in explosive zones. The device's accuracy, durability, and ease of integration help optimize plant safety and efficiency, enhancing customer satisfaction.
