EGE Elektronik Sensor with Integrated Amplifier Productseries SCB 450

Description

The EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries SCB 450 is the authoritative choice for operators who require “at-a-glance” status of their fluid systems. Unlike standard sensors that only indicate a switching state via a single LED, the SCB 450 features a linear LED bargraph. This display allows technicians to see how close the flow is to the trigger point, making it possible to identify deteriorating flow conditions (such as a clogging filter or a pump losing efficiency) before a system shutdown occurs.
