 ICM
In-line Contamination Monitor
The ICM automatically measures and displays
particulate contamination, moisture and
temperature levels in various hydraulic fluids. It
is designed specifically to be mounted directly
to systems, where ongoing measurement or
analysis is required, and where space and
costs are limited.

 Accessories
Auxiliary Communications
Two auxiliary communication devices are available to order with
the ICM. A USB interface which allows for communication via
a laptop (RS485 to RS232 converter) or an ethernet device for
remote access via a network hub.

Both devices can transmit power to the ICM/RDU electrical

circuit using a DC power adapter. The USBi has the additional
benefit of supplying power via the USB cable directly.

Both devices come with a DC Power adapter and 3m twisted

pair cable as standard.
