WCT400/410 | Cooling Tower Controllers

OVERVIEW

The WCT400/410 Cooling Tower Controllers represent the latest in

technological and innovative advancements from Walchem. All of the
standard features you’d expect from a conventional cooling tower controller
are included, plus optional simple-to-use information management tools that
enable water treatment professionals to deliver more effective service to
their customers.

The WCT400/410 controllers have the ability to store conductivity and

temperature values, water usage, relay and flow switch status, and user
settings. A USB memory stick is all that’s needed to extract the information.
Download logs from the USB stick to a PC at your convenience, or copy your
preferred treatment program settings to another controller to speed start-up.
It couldn’t be easier!

SUMMARY OF KEY BENEFITS

Ensures Optimal Performance and Maximum Efficiency

$ Precise control of conductivity and chemical feed reduces water consumption and inhibits
corrosion, solids precipitation, scale build-up, and growth of algae or dangerous bacteria.

More Informative Monthly Reports

Download stored data from the controller to a USB flash stick. Use the data to easily develop
reports that show actual water usage, system conductivity, temperature, and more.

Efficient Customer Service

Quickly identify system upsets by knowing exactly what happened and when. An event log can be
downloaded to tell you precisely when pumps turned on, valves opened, and when there was flow or
no-flow.

Validation and Verification Made Easy
Use stored data from the controller to simply and easily validate water treatment results. The
data and event logs show water usage, system conductivity, and temperature, as well as
accumulated chemical feed and bleed times.

Save Time
Copy the user settings from your controller to a USB flash stick and upload to a new controller.
Programming your new controller this way can be accomplished in seconds. It’s that simple!
