The model SC450 is designed to measure specific conductivity with contacting electrodes. This method is proven to offer very high measurement accuracy especially in pure and ultra pure water applications. The SC450 a has self tuning pre-amplifier to eliminate the measuring errors that are associated with cabling or with polarization associated with high conductivities and cell fouling. The integrity of the signal across the electrodes is monitored continuously to activate a call for maintenance or a fail message in the rare occasion that cell fouling would cause erratic readings. The standard SC450 covers almost all Conductivity Applications including all special software functions in the standard analyzers to reduce the number of configurations. This results in less inventory and less training needs for users that have multiple Conductivity applications.
