PASS Pre-Paid Hours

Prepaid hours can be purchased to make sure you will receive technical support when you need it the most. Prepaid hours are applicable to any line in your plant and can be used for any technical phone support during normal business hours (8:30-5:00 CST). There is no expiration date for prepaid hours so they can transfer from year to year (no refunds available for hours not used during a calendar year). There are no discounts provided with the purchase of prepaid hours.

Prepaid hours can be purchased in advance or at the time of service.

Unattended Monitoring

 

Unattended monitoring is a useful tool for measuring long term system performance, detecting intermittent failures, and monitoring operational procedures for each shift. Unattended monitoring can be connected either through the modem or internet. Unattended monitoring is not part of Pass Connect but can be ordered separately. Some of the features include:

• Monitor long term performance: Monitor the effects of IBC related process conditions such as bubble stability, blower speeds and system response.
• Detect intermittent failures: Monitor system components such as sensors, proportional valve, and main processor for possible intermittent component failure.
• Monitor shift operation: Monitor the operational procedures performed during different shifts to help determine possible operator error or help provide operational consistency from shift to shift.

After monitoring is completed, a summary report will be provided along with a .csv file that can be imported into an excel file and further analyzed.
