• Major cost savings available when one controller/transmitter is used with up to eight ‘plug and play’ sensors
• Remote control and data acquisition reduces site visit costs, and text/email alarms reduce down time
• Easy to use, ‘quick-fit’ display module can control all measurement points

Many sensors currently enjoy the luxury of their own dedicated controller and transmitter. At first glance this may seem excessively costly and unnecessary, however, many monitoring systems have been set up in this manner in order to reduce the danger of data loss as a result of power problems or instrument malfunction.

Conscious of the need to continuously reduce costs and improve efficiency, Hach Lange have launched the SC1000 Controller, an advanced, higher specification version of the popular SC100.

The SC1000 Controller consists of two components: the probe module, to which analysers and probes are directly connected, and the portable display module, which is the brain of the system and has numerous mathematical and control functions.

As a traditional controller, the SC1000 communicates with up to eight different sensors simultaneously. If necessary, it can be cost-effectively expanded with more probe modules to create a network. All measuring positions can be controlled by a single display module. Thanks to the modular design of the SC1000, it can be configured individually to requirements in the field. Analogue 0/4-20mA inputs and outputs, relays and field bus cards are available and can be used to transmit data, integrate analogue instruments, handle any type of signal or connect to an existing field bus system.

The display module of the SC1000 is optionally available with a built-in data telephone, which not only means that control operations can take place from anywhere, but alarms can also be transmitted instantly by text and email.

Whilst a network of monitoring modules may be ‘daisy-chained’, they each have their own power supply so a damaged power cable to one module does not affect the others in the network.

Hach Lange believes that the main benefit of the SC1000 will be to reduce the number of required controllers and provide major cost savings.
