ISTEC RecipSys 200 - Rod Drop Monitoring System The ISTEC RecipSys 200 (RSY200-000-001) is a compact triggered rod drop monitoring module designed for reciprocating compressors. This dual-channel system with phase reference delivers accurate real-time data of rider band wear, eliminating the need for periodic production shutdowns for manual inspections. The transmitter-based design is cost-effective and extends monitoring coverage to compressors of any size or configuration. System Specifications Model: RSY200-000-001 Configuration: Dual channel + phase reference input Monitoring Type: Phase-triggered rod position measurement Output Signals: Relay outputs and analog outputs for rod position Analog Outputs: Two industry-standard 4-20 mA outputs Form Factor: Compact monitoring system with small technical footprint Key Benefits Increased Uptime: Eliminates periodic production shutdowns for manual inspections, significantly lowering downtime Universal Compatibility: Transmitter-based system enables monitoring coverage for any reciprocating compressor Flexible Configuration: Expandable to any cylinder configuration and compatible with any sensor brand Cost-Effective: Low financial impact compared to traditional monitoring solutions System Integration: Integrable with any existing monitoring system via standard analog outputs Technical Features Phase-Triggered Accuracy: Filters displacement signal to the correct phase angle for reliable measurements on fixed or variable RPM compressors Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous rider band wear monitoring with accurate position data Standalone Operation: Fully functional as an independent monitoring system Triggered Signal Processing: Ensures measurement accuracy as opposed to overall measurements Dual Channel Design: Monitors multiple measurement points simultaneously Monitoring Capabilities Rider Band Wear: Continuous monitoring eliminates guesswork and manual inspections Rod Position: Triggered position measurement with relay and analog outputs Variable RPM Compatibility: Phase-triggered filtering works with both fixed and variable speed compressors Alert Outputs: Relay outputs for alarm and shutdown conditions Applications Ideal for condition monitoring of reciprocating compressors in: Oil and gas production facilities Gas processing plants Petrochemical facilities Chemical processing plants Refineries Pipeline compression stations Industrial gas compression applications Integration Options Standalone System: Fully functional as independent monitoring solution Suite Integration: Compatible with any monitoring suite via 4-20 mA outputs Sensor Compatibility: Works with any brand of displacement sensors Expandable Design: Scale to any number of cylinders or monitoring points Note: The RecipSys 200 transmitter-based system provides a cost-effective solution for extending monitoring coverage to reciprocating compressors while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure and sensor systems.

Istec VibSys® A01 – First Edition Vibration Monitoring System VibSys A01 is the current First Edition product offered by MK-Controls. It provides a compact platform for continuous vibration condition monitoring and connecting machine-condition data with plant and analysis workflows. Four vibration channels A01 provides four channels for direct connection of compatible 2-wire IEPE accelerometers. Units can be installed close to the monitored machine and multiple VibSys units can be used as monitoring coverage grows. Not limited to Istec sensors VibSys A01 is not tied to Istec-branded vibration sensors. Compatible IEPE accelerometers from other manufacturers can be used. Sensor selection should match the machine speed, frequency range, temperature, environment, mounting method and measurement objective. Condition monitoring and integration Continuous machine-condition monitoring Four vibration inputs for compatible IEPE accelerometers Machine-side data acquisition and predefined extractions Local plant integration, including Modbus TCP within the documented A01 scope Connection to Istec Sphere for vibration analysis where specified Distributed architecture for pumps, fans, motors, gearboxes, compressors and other rotating machinery Current A01 and future M40 This product listing is for VibSys First Edition A01. VibSys M40 is a future release with an expanded feature set. We do not represent A01 as automatically upgradeable to M40 by software, firmware or hardware change unless Istec confirms an official upgrade path. Images or application diagrams showing M40 elsewhere in our technical content are identified as future-platform illustrations and do not change the specification of the A01 unit sold on this page. Condition monitoring—not machinery protection VibSys A01 is intended for condition monitoring, trending and diagnostics. Safety-critical machinery protection, overspeed trips and shutdown functions should use appropriate dedicated protection systems. Price: €2,499 / A01 unit. Sensors, accessories, integration and Istec Sphere subscriptions are scoped separately unless specifically included in a quotation.
