6. Selection Recommendations
Sensor Compatibility: Verify sensor type (proximity/seismic) and compatibility with BENTLY’s 3300 XL series.
Environmental Needs: Opt for IP67-rated models for outdoor or corrosive settings.
Redundancy: Pair with BENTLY’s TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) system for critical processes.
7. Precautions
ESD Protection: Use anti-static equipment during installation to avoid circuit damage.
Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware to ensure compatibility with the latest monitoring software.
Cable Routing: Maintain proper cable shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference.
