The Milwaukee C65 Conductivity Pen is designed for aquariums, aquaculture, agriculture and pools to help you make sure that your fish or plants are receiving the right amount of nutrient to help keep your water clean and clear. Keep EC in your target range to help your achieve better results.
DESIGN FEATURES
- Measures conductivity and temperature with automatic temperature compensation.
- Ideal range for Aquaculture (0 to 1999 uS/cm).
- Units directly in uS/cm (no conversions required).
- Factory calibrated with the ability to recalibrate if needed.
- Replaceable electrode.
- Fully waterproof to IP65.
- 250 hours continuous use (3 x 1.5V batteries included).
CARE AND USE
MAINTENANCE
EC electrodes can develop nutrient build up over time. To miminize build up, always rinse the probe in fresh tap or DI water after every use.
CONVERTING EC TO TDS
The Milwaukee EC Pen, like all conductivity meters, provides a measure of electrically charged ions in a solution and is an absolute measure of conductivity.
EC is often converted to TDS in parts per million (ppm). Different scales include the 500 scale, 650 scale and the 700 scale. However, true PPM can only be determined through chemical analysis.
Your uS/cm reading can be approximately converted to TDS (ppm) as shown in the examples below.
1 uS/cm = 0.5 ppm on a .5 factor scale
1 uS/cm = 0.7 ppm on a .70 factor scale (442)
