Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 8C-PCNT02 compatible with the Experion PKS R500 and later releases?
A: Compatibility depends on firmware revision. Konmask can verify your specific revision against Honeywell’s compatibility matrix prior to shipment.
Q: Can this module operate in a redundant controller configuration?
A: Yes. The 8C-PCNT02 supports hot-standby redundancy when paired with a second controller module and the appropriate redundancy cable/backplane.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units typically ship within 3–5 business days. For out-of-stock items, lead time is 2–6 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes, CoC and test reports are available upon request for qualified orders.
Q: Can this module replace an 8C-PCNT01?
A: The -01 and -02 revisions may have firmware and hardware differences. Please consult Konmask or Honeywell documentation before substituting revisions in a live system.
