hydroCHEM Conductivity and pH Controller

hydroCHEM Image

Full Size Image

bulletAutomatic controller for Conductivity and pH. Ideal for Hydroponic applications. Designed to control external pumps, valves etc. Temperature readout is provided. Supplied with sensors and calibration standards. 

bulletThe new advanced design makes this unit far superior and yet cheaper and easier to use than other brands. The hydroCHEM is the culmination of over 30 years  manufacturing experience. 
bulletWaterproof construction rated to IP65.
bulletSupplied with 24V DC output control cable for low-powered devices or relay etc.
bulletMemory for 2300 stored readings, with automatic datalogging facility (optional).
bulletRS232 Interface for remote monitoring of system (optional).
bulletPump sensor only allows automatic dosing when circulating pump is on.
bulletLarge digit mode makes the data easy to read in any light or from a distance.
bulletAutomatic calibration
bullet4 Terminal conductivity sensor technology resists fouling for maximum reliability.
bulletUser can choose readout in mS/cm, CF units, dS/M or ppM (TDS).
bulletQuick-dose function
bulletTemperature readout with optional temperature control output.
bulletFully adjustable ON and OFF times can be set separately for Conductivity and pH pumps, eliminating over-dosing.
bulletUser can select acid or alkali addition.
bulletPassword protection, so only qualified users can change set-up or calibration.
bulletGood laboratory practices (GLP) function brings analytical Q.A. to the hydroponics farmer. Instant recall of current calibration and system set-up information.
bullet24 Hour calendar clock (optional).
bulletEmergency shutoff timer shuts off Conductivity and pH pumps if they operate continuously for user-set time.
bulletOperates off a single AC/DC power supply. No electrical installation required.
