SC-204

SC-204

Product Description

SC-204 Process Scanner is a microcontroller-based multi-channel monitoring instrument designed for comprehensive industrial process measurement. It supports 16 dedicated input channels or 8 universal input channels, accepting RTD, thermocouple, 4–20 mA, voltage, and mV signals. The scanner features clear LED displays for channel number, process value, and engineering units, enabling easy real-time monitoring. Advanced functions such as cold junction compensation, open sensor indication, and software calibration ensure accurate and reliable measurements. It offers individual alarm outputs per channel, optional common alarm, and relay outputs for high and low limits. With RS-485 MODBUS RTU communication, long-term memory backup, and availability in DIN standard, IP-65 field mount, or CMRI-certified flameproof enclosures, the SC-204 is ideal for complex industrial process monitoring.
