PSC-154 TDS/EC Controller | 4–20 mA Output


Product Description

TDS/EC CONTROLLER WITH 4–20 mA OUTPUT

PSC-154 TDS/EC Controller

PSC-154 TDS/EC Controller  

The PSC-154 is a TDS/EC controller for monitoring and controlling dissolved-solids or conductivity levels in commercial water systems. It combines a bright LED display, on-screen temperature readout, user-set control point, relay switching, and a 4–20 mA output for connection to a PLC or other compatible monitoring equipment. One SP-1-PSC sensor probe is included.

Key Features

1.  Wide measurement range — monitors EC from 0 to 9,999 µS and TDS from 0 to 5,000 ppm

2.  4–20 mA output — provides an output signal for PLC connection and value recording

3.  Adjustable set point — a single set point switches a connected device through dry-contact relay control

4.  Audible alarm — activates when the measured TDS/EC level rises above the user-set level; the steady beep can be selected by the user

5.  Temperature display — shows water temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, with automatic temperature compensation from 1 to 65 °C (33 to 149 °F)

6.  Included probe — one SP-1-PSC sensor probe with a 1/2-inch NPT bushing and a 3 m (9.8 ft) shielded cable

Display and Controls

The LED display shows the measured value, the active unit, and the water temperature, with a set-point indicator beside the reading. The front panel carries the temperature unit, setting, up, down, and calibration keys.

Control and Output Operation

Set the desired TDS or EC level using the front-panel controls. When the measured value reaches or exceeds that set point, the PSC-154 changes the relay state to open or close the connected circuit and can sound the selected alarm. The 4–20 mA output can send the measured value to a compatible PLC for monitoring and recordkeeping.

Applications

1.  Commercial water systems — monitor and control TDS or EC levels in high-output commercial water systems

2.  Relay-controlled equipment — the relay output can operate a compatible pump, solenoid valve, or other device when the measured value reaches or exceeds the selected set point

3.  PLC monitoring — the 4–20 mA signal supports connection to a PLC for monitoring or recording
