General Foundation® Fieldbus transmitter

for Conductivity or Resistivity

Specifications Model SC202G-F

Flexibility, reliability and low maintenance are among the

benefits provided by the EXA SC202G-F conductivity analyzer.
Designed to meet the exacting requirements of measuring
conductivity and resistivity in the modern industrial environment, it
contains many features to ensure the best precision whatever the
application.

This transmitter is housed in a robust IP65 field mountable case.

The Foundation ® Fieldbus digital communication and a clear LCD
make the SC202G-F a complete industrial analyzer

The famous EXA sensor diagnostics are now available through

status reporting which is part of the Foundation® Fieldbus
protocol, utilizing all build-in intelligents. The logbook can be used
to record events like calibrations and diagnostic messages.

A wide variety of temperature compensation possibilities (NaCl

according to IEC 746-3, manual TC, preprogrammed matrices
and a free programmable 5x5 matrix), provide a high-accuracy
measurement with minimum effort.

The addition of a USP23 pure water monitoring feature makes

the SC202G-F ideal for the pharmaceutical industry.

FEATURES
● Universal conductivity/resistivity, software switchable
● On-line sensor checking
● Foundation® Fieldbus interface (DD available)
● Event logbook in software
● Matrix temperature compensation for pure water applications
● Password protection for all levels of software
● Intrinsically safe version and non-incendive versions
● Easy to use EXA control panel
● Pharmaceutical pure water monitoring (USP23)
