  • Pharmaceutical
Description

The PC6 Particle Counter Sensor is designed for municipal and industrial water treatment applications, providing assurance in filter performance monitoring and protection against colloidal fouling. It serves as an alternative to traditional measurements like turbidity and Silt Density Index (SDI) testing. The sensor can detect filter end-of-life before turbidity readings are affected. It integrates with the HydroACT family of analyzers, allowing multiple sensor connections and data viewing in various formats.

Standard Features
  • Detection down to 0.01 ppb.
  • Counts particles from 2-750 microns and sizes them from 2-100 microns.
  • Up to 6 user-programmable size ranges.
  • Reports in counts/mL, counts/100mL, and ppb.
  • Menu-driven calibration and laser & cell condition readout.
  • Compatible with HydroACT analyzer models HA2, HA4, and HA8.
General Specifications
  • Power options: 100-240 VAC / 0.25 A, 12 VDC / 0.8 A, or 24 VDC.
  • Display: 4.3” screen with grayscale or color options.
  • Sensor inputs: Up to 8, with various sensor options including particle counter and UV254 organics.
  • Communication: Modbus ASCII/RTU, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS DP, with remote access via internet browser.
  • Enclosure: ABS flame retardant, NEMA 4X / IP65.

BCHEMTRAC PARTICLE COUNTER SENSOR PC6 with HydroACT Series DESCRIPTION The PC6 Particle Counter Sensor provides the highest level of assurance when it comes municipal and industrial water treatment applications including filter performance monitoring, protecting RO membranes from colloidal fouling, corrosion product monitoring, and virtually any application where there is a concern of potential contamination in a clean liquid. The PC6 offers an excellent addition or alternative to other traditional measurements like turbidity (NTU) and Silt Density Index (SDI) testing. Particle counters are best known for their ability to detect when a filter has reached the end of its run well ahead of any impact to NTU readings. The more compact PC6 Particle Counter brings all the great features of Chemtrac's larger stand alone models (i.e. PC3400 & PC4400) to the HydroACT family of analyzers. Customers can connect multiple sensors to the HydroACT analyzer, or mix and match the PC6 with other measurements like pH, chlorine, and UV254 for organics monitoring. The PC6, with its unique parts per billion (ppb) readout option, allows the user to view up to 6 channels of data in multiple measurement formats including “Total ppb”, “Total Counts”, and counts or ppb in individual size channels (e.g. 2 to 5 micron, 5 to 10 micron, etc.). Full integration between the sensor and analyzer means all sensor settings, including user-friendly calibration features, can be accessed from the HydroACT's user interface. Contact Chemtrac to discuss your application and let us find the right solution for you. STANDARD FEATURES • Parts-per-billion (ppb) measurment with detection down to 0.01 ppb • Counts particles in liquid from 2-750 microns • Sizes particles from 2-100 microns • Up to 6 user programmable size ranges • Reports cnts/mL, or cnts/100mL, ppb • User-friendly, menu driven calibration • Laser & cell condition readout (0-100%) • External sensor with sapphire optics • Available with HydroACT analyzer models HA2, HA4, and HA8 BENEFITS • Familiar volumetric concentration readout (ppb) for particles greater than 2 microns • Provides a reliable and accurate measurement of particles down to low ppt levels • Advanced firmware and menu functions eliminates need for external software to perform setup and calibration • User-friendly calibration routine makes the process fast and simple, and lowers maintenance cost • External sensor is easy to clean and water is kept away from electronics Water Treatment Boiler/Condensate Wastewater Treatment Parts Washing Reverse Osmosis Pretreatment Food & Beverage Membrane Filtration Pharmaceutical Particle Detection
