Remote data access and programming are available without opening the enclosure and the log data can be downloaded as a .csv file. 800-876-3837
Endress+Hauser Free Chlorine Analysis System
Endress+Hauser Free Chlorine Analysis Systems are compliant to EPA Method 334.0. Each turnkey system is panel-mounted with an amperometric free chlorine sensor and a pH probe mounted in an integrated flow assembly. Each panel is designed with sensor cables and a Liquiline transmitter, either CM442 or CM444. An integral flow switch mounted in the flow assembly monitors for proper system flow and provides an alarm at the transmitter if flow is interrrupted. A lead-free regulator sets system pressure to 15 psi. The transmitter has a NEMA 4X rating and all other components are waterproof. Stainless steel inlet and outlet shut-off valves with 1/2-inch female MPT fittings allow for system isolation during routine sensor maintenance. 888/363-7377
