Hach FilterTrak 660 Laser Nephelometer

Hach FilterTrak 660 Laser Nephelometer  Hach Company
 

Overview

 

The new FilterTrak 660 Laser Nephelometer - the ultimate in simplicity and security in filtration management.

 

 

Finest Resolution in the Market

The Hach FilterTrak 660 sc Laser Nephelometer is designed specifically to detect changes in turbidity as low as 0.0005 NTU. Using advanced laser optics and signal processing, the instrument detects increased concentrations of submicron-sized particles that are a precursor to larger particles. This allows for early filter deterioration detection that meets or exceeds that of particle counters-all with the day-to-day convenience, simplicity, and reliability of a Hach Turbidity Meter. Operators can detect impending filter breakthrough, delineate filter ripening, and maximize effective filter run time.

 

Features/Benefits

 
  • Finest Resolution in the Market- The Hach FilterTrak 660 sc Laser Nephelometer is designed specifically to detect changes in turbidity as low as 0.0005 NTU.  Using advanced laser optics and signal processing, the instrument detects increased concentrations of submicron-sized particles that are a precursor to larger particles.  This allows for early filter deterioration detection that meets or exceeds that of particle counters--all with the day-to-day convenience, simplicity, and reliability of a Hach Turbidity Meter.  Operators can detect impending filter breakthrough, delineate filter ripening, and maximize effective filter run time.
  • Monitor, Optimize, and Report - USEPA method compliance means that treatment plants with conventional or membrane filtration can monitor and optimize, as well as report, using this single technology. 
  • Communications and Data Logging - Optimize data management with flexible direct digital communication options including 4-20 mA, digital MODBUS (RS-485 or RS-232), PROFIBUS DP, or Lonworks protocols.  Every sc100 and sc1000 controller may be equipped with wireless communication and a built-in data logger.
  • Simple, on-site calibration/verification - Routine maintenance on the FilterTrak 660 is simple. Unlike a particle counter, the FilterTrak 660 will not clog persistently. On-site calibration is fast and inexpensive, using Hach StablCal® 0.1 and 0.8 NTU standards.
  • Compatible with Hach Multi-Sensor, Multi-Parameter Digital Controllers - The FilterTrak sensor can be used with Hach's new sc100 or sc1000 Digital Controllers.  The sc100 controller accepts up to two sensors.  The sc1000 accepts up to eight sensors.  Multiple controllers can be networked to accommodate many more sensors and parameters, reducing the cost per measuring point.  Just plug in any Hach "plug and play" digital sensor and it's ready to use without software configuration.  "Plug and play" connectivity means there is no complicated wiring or set up.  Network the FilterTrak 660 sc Laser Nephelometer with any of Hach's digital sensors for measuring dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, conductivity, and many other parameters.
