General Panel Mounted Converter for

Conductivity or Resistivity
Specifications Model SC150

Housed in a compact panel mounted case with IP65 front and

featuring an intuitive interface with touch screen, the EXAxt SC150
is ideally suited to the creation of control systems where panel size
is at a premium.
With the certified sensors from Yokogawa measurement and
control of SC (specific conductivity) or resistivity is made easy. The
SC150 is ideally suited for use in the field of water treatment, where
it provides accurate monitoring and control in an economical and
convenient package.
Derived from the famous EXA series, the SC150 has the self-
diagnostic features that have made EXA a market leader.
Included in the 96mm x 96mm square housing are two isolated mA
outputs with linearisation, HART communication and PID control
functions. Two SPDT relay contact outputs provide alarm and
control functions. Remote range change can be initiated by a
contact input.
The unique touch screen interface provides simple, intuitive
configuration and access to the display features. A large clear
display with backlight makes it very easy to read primary and
secondary values. Trend charts, diagnostics, logbook and
configuration data are all readily available. A flip-up transparent
dust cover is fitted to keep the display clean.
