Easy Adoption
The familiar experience of a modern touchscreen, the ability to use your current Hach sensors, and the same footprint as the SC200, make installation and integration of the SC4500 Controller seamless.
No Time for Downtime
The SC4500’s built-in predictive diagnostic software ensures measurement confidence and reduces the risk of unexpected equipment downtime by enabling proactive maintenance planning via MSM, including step-by-step instructions.
The Connectivity Options You Need
The Controller provides local communication to SCADA or a PLC, as well as remote access through a secure, cloudbased connectivity option to integrate with Claros, the Water Intelligence System from Hach. From analog and advanced digital protocols to Wi-Fi, cellular or LAN, the SC4500 gives
you the flexibility to adapt in a rapidly changing world.
The power of Hach’s real time controls (RTC) software is now hosted on the SC4500 controller. Take advantage of the potential energy, chemical and labor savings, from a simple and environmentally friendly solution.
