Features
Protection against harsh environments.
The unit comprises non-corrosive components such as a stainless steel enclosure, serial number plate, and cable glands. The ingress protection is IP55 (weatherproof), optional is IP56 (waterproof). Only the IP55 model has a window for observing the unit’s status.
Easy serviceability.
The electronics consist of modules, which can easily be replaced in the unlikely event this is necessary. Only a screwdriver is needed. Furthermore, each module has integrated LEDs indicating the status to find the defective module.
Easy Monitoring of Output Strength
The inner door has a 7-segment display (meterboard), visible through a window, showing a value proportionately with the output current.
Performance of the Power Module
External parameters such as pipe material, diameter, and electrical conductivity of the fluid vary with each installation and influence the induction. An extra display, indicative of the deviation of the optimal induction achievable, must be set to a minimum by the one installing the unit.
Auto Reset
When for any reason the output current drops to zero, the unit will reset itself after ten seconds.
Electronic Fuse
The incorporated electronic fuse will trip, preventing the mechanical fuse from blowing, in case the output current is too high.
Easy Remote Monitoring of the Scalewatcher
Isolated relay contacts indicating the status of the unit can be hard-wired to an optional alarm unit or process table. Through the same socket, a voltage proportional to the output current can be monitored and transmitted and made visible on a dedicated website and/or mobile phone application (optional).
High-Temperature Coil Cable
The manufacturer only supplies silicone cable capable of withstanding 200 ºC. Optional is a heavy-duty low-temperature (QWPK) cable for harsh environments and a super high-temperature cable of 450 ºC.
Protection Against Emission and Susceptibility of Electro Magnetic Fields
Two EMI filters are incorporated to reduce emission of disturbing signals on the power grid of the factory, created by the Scalewatcher and to increase immunity against high electromagnetic energy picked up by the coil in the factory.
Test Device Included
Each unit will be supplied with a handheld test device. The test device is able to find the best location for the coil, free of disturbing signals. It also shows whether the correct signal is being generated.

Features
Protection against harsh environments.
The custom-made designed enclosure of the unit is made of aluminium with a protective powder coating. The signal cable sockets and cable glands are watertight. The ingress protection is IP66 (weatherproof), optional is IP67 (waterproof).
Display reading.
This meter gives the relative output strength, indicating the correct output is being generated.
Auto Reset.
When for any reason the output current drops to zero, the unit will reset itself after ten seconds.
Three LED indicators.
- The green LED shows only when the signal cable is connected, indicating that electrical current is being generated.
- The middle red failure LED will light up when the signal cable is disconnected or in the unlikely event, when something is wrong with the device.
- The bottom red LED will light up once the unit is powered up, which may take approximately 7 seconds.
Optional: Easy remote Monitoring of the Scalewatcher.
If the end user desires, the Light Industrial unit can be integrated with a relay with isolated contacts. These contacts can be hard wired to a process table. The relay is energized when the unit is in good working order.
High-temperature coil cable.
The manufacturer only supplies silicone cable capable of withstanding 200 ºC. Optional is a heavy-duty low-temperature (QWPK) cable for harsh environments and a super high-temperature cable of 450 ºC.
Return on Investment.
Generally, the Scalewatcher system's "return on investment time" is less than one year. Or even sooner for industrial applications due to the enormous savings in reducing energy, chemicals, and maintenance costs.
