Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
IMC Quanta Instruments
pHoenix Electrode Sales has introduced a new range of analytical instrumentation to complement it's existing range of pH, ORP, ion selective and conductivity electrodes. pHoenix was recently given the go-ahead to distribute the B&C Electronics (Italy) range of instrumentation in South Africa. The B&C range includes a low-cost series of pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and free chlorine electrodes, as well as temperature controllers, DIN rail mount transmitters and a microprocessor-based range of controllers.
B&C Electronics are the largest distributor for pHoenix Electrode Company in Italy, using the electrodes to complement its own range of analytical instrumentation.
The model 3630 pH and O.R.P. DIN rail mount transmitters incorporate a large LCD display that is easily readable from considerable distances. The transmitters are powered by an external power supply from 10 to 30 V d.c. The same two wires that provide power to the transmitter also carry the isolated 4–20 mA output pH signal.
