☛ Analog output of measured value or status information: 0/4-20 mA
☛ Digital inputs for starting analysis, flow switches, or interval repositioning
☛ Measurement data memory and measurement data protocol on the SD card
☛ There is no condensation in the optical system
☛ Update the software through SD card
The FOSTCO 5000 IQ water quality online hardness analyzer comes in two versions
Wall-mounted analyzer
The analyzer consists of a controller and a measuring chamber, both mounted on a bracket on the wall. This version is fully functional, including connections for inlet and outlet and a bracket for a reagent bottle.
Casing analyzer
For wall-mounted analyzers, a plastic enclosure is available for use in locations where pollution is expected to be more severe. The analyzer on the wall bracket can be quickly installed in the enclosure with four screws. If the analyzer and housing are ordered together, the equipment is already installed in the housing.
