Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can TC-FXX172 replace TC-FXX152 directly?
A: Only if your application uses 5 or fewer modules. The TC-FXX172 has 7 slots vs. 5 on the TC-FXX152 — it is a physical superset, but verify cabinet space.
Q: Is TC-FXX172 compatible with Experion PKS?
A: No. Experion PKS uses a different chassis family (e.g., CC-PCNT01). TC-FXX172 is specific to TPS/TDC 3000 architecture.
Q: What power supply is required?
A: The TC-PSXX series power supplies are designed for this rack. Confirm voltage (24 VDC or 120/240 VAC) with your site specification.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: Konmask provides technical documentation and pre-sales consultation. On-site installation is the responsibility of the end user’s qualified engineering team.
Q: Can I return a unit if it does not fit?
A: Yes — unused units in original packaging may be returned within 30 days. Contact support@konmask.com to initiate an RMA.
