Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the main advantage of this kit over a single PM858?
  A> The PM858K02 kit provides two complete controller units and all interconnecting cables, offering a ready-to-install redundant system for critical processes requiring high uptime.
• Q: Can this system be used for safety applications?
  A> No. This kit is for standard process control redundancy. Safety applications require the High Integrity PM857/SM812 combination.
• Q: Are the backup batteries included?
  A> Yes, the kit includes two lithium backup batteries (4943013-6), one for each controller, to preserve memory during power loss.
