Condition monitoring

increases safety and

system availability

Lightning strikes and surges may bring systems to a stand-
still. If these systems are, e.g., railway or air traffic signal-
ling systems, such a failure is potentially life-threatening.

Safety is, therefore, a key reason for deciding in favour
of condition monitoring. Another reason is the increase
in productivity through maximum system availability. The
lower the downtime, the higher the production output.
The DEHNrecord SCM / MCM XT monitoring devices
make condition monitoring easy. They monitor up to ten
protection modules, identify pre-damage and indicate
which module is affected. Pre-damaged arresters can be
replaced promptly and, thanks to the universal base parts,
easily. Consequently, the system is constantly available and DEHNrecord MCM XT monitors up to ten protection modules
protected against interference.

In case of an imminent arrester overload, the three-
coloured LED indicates a fault and transmits this informa-
tion via the remote signalling contact. Malfunction of the
condition monitoring module, for example due to a power
failure, is also indicated.
