C800 Electrochemical Converter

Single and Dual Channel Converter for Electrochemical Sensors

The Control 800 series of electrochemical converters combines high performance digital conductivity and analog pH measurements with intuitive operation. It has been designed for easy integration into skids and panels to cover a wide range of bioprocess applications in both, conventional stainless steel and single-use systems.

  • Designed for Biotech Applications
  • Enabling Multi-Range Conductivity Measurements
  • Supporting Multi- and Single-use Systems

The C800 converters are for optek digital conductivity sensors ACS60 or ACF60 and pH-electrodes, they are designed for continuous monitoring of pH and conductivity. The C800 series is available with one or two channels in variants for one or two conductivity probes and one mixed variant for conductivity and pH. Operation and programming is simple and intuitive via push buttons on the front panel and full text menus in 9 languages. The converter parameter set can be read out and stored via a USB connection on the front panel, which allows for quick configuration of several instruments. The C800 software is dedicated to electrochemical sensors and their specific calibration and measurement setup.
