APERA INSTRUMENTS / EC60 / AI314
The EC60 brings conductivity, calculated TDS, calculated salinity and temperature into a replaceable-probe pocket tester. Automatic calibration, a backlit display and supplied conductivity standards make it a practical kit for routine solution checks.
Choose AI314 when you want EC-based measurements without a separate pH sensor. Its 10-ppt salinity ceiling is suited to low-salinity work, not typical full-strength seawater.

Floatable pocket format
The AI314 standard kit supplies the EC60 and its EC60-E / AI1209 probe, with the checking or calibration supplies appropriate to this model.
EC60 tester with EC60-E probe and cap, 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm standards, two calibration vials, four AAA batteries, lanyard and carrying case.
The 84 µS/cm calibration point is available with a separately purchased standard. pH buffers and KCl pH-electrode storage solution are not listed as EC60 kit inclusions.
MATCH THE MEASUREMENT TO THE QUESTION
Read EC directly or TDS using a documented conversion factor. Keep the factor consistent with the procedure or ppm scale you are following.
Compare suitable aqueous samples with consistent calibration and compensation settings. Conductivity does not identify each dissolved substance or prove drinking-water safety.
Use the calculated salinity value only within 0-10.00 ppt. Typical seawater is above this range; choose an appropriate higher-range instrument for that application.
EC is the sensor measurement; TDS and salinity are calculated from it. The TDS factor is adjustable from 0.40 to 1.00, with a default of 0.71. The documented salinity factor is a fixed linear 0.5, not a selectable seawater algorithm.
The installed EC60-E is a replaceable Brush-Resistant Platinum Black conductivity probe with temperature sensing. It is not a pH glass electrode or an ORP probe. Keep its conductivity-sensor care distinct from the combo probe on PC60.
Use 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm as appropriate for the sample range. The meter also recognizes 84 µS/cm, which is a separate standard. Conductivity calibration carries through to calculated TDS and salinity.
Select EC, TDS or salinity. Document the TDS factor and temperature-coefficient settings so repeated measurements use a consistent basis.
Rinse between samples and keep the sensing pins clean without rubbing away their platinum-black coating. Follow the EC60 conductivity-only probe instructions; do not copy PC60 or pH-electrode KCl immersion routines.
Apera Instruments EC60 Premium Pocket Tester (EC/TDS/Salinity/Temp) · Apera Instruments
A TDS factor of 0.71 turns 1000 µS/cm into 710 ppm. A different selected factor gives a different TDS number for the same conductivity. Salinity uses its documented fixed linear conversion, not a user-selected seawater algorithm.
Conductivity accuracy is specified at ±1% full scale. Do not transfer that into an unsupported independent accuracy claim for every calculated TDS or salinity composition.
Conductivity and temperature, with calculated TDS and low-range salinity. No pH or ORP measurement.
A replaceable pH/EC/temperature combo probe with calculated TDS and salinity. No verified ORP mode on non-Z PC60.
A dedicated platinum ORP tester with temperature display. Not a pH or chlorine-concentration meter.
These are alternative instruments, not plug-in accessories for EC60. Check the exact sensor set and method before changing formats.

The standard kit includes EC60 with EC60-E probe and cap, 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm standards, two vials, four AAA batteries, lanyard and carrying case. The 84 µS/cm standard is separate.
EC60 measures conductivity and temperature, and calculates TDS and salinity from conductivity. It does not measure pH or ORP.
The overall EC range is 0-20.00 mS/cm. Resolution is range-dependent: 0.1 or 1 µS/cm and 0.01 mS/cm. The specified EC accuracy is ±1% F.S., meaning full scale rather than percent of every reading.
The linear TDS conversion factor adjusts from 0.40 to 1.00 and defaults to 0.71. At a factor of 0.71, 1000 µS/cm corresponds to 710 ppm TDS. This is a conductivity conversion, not an independent chemical analysis.
Not typical full-strength seawater. EC60 salinity is limited to 0-10.00 ppt, while typical seawater is around 35 ppt. Its fixed linear salinity conversion is not a selectable practical-salinity or seawater algorithm.
It supports automatic 1-3 point conductivity calibration using recognized 84 µS/cm, 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm standards. The kit supplies the latter two; choose additional standards for the expected sample range.
Yes. The standard replacement is EC60-E, catalog AI1209. It combines BPB conductivity sensing and temperature sensing; use the specified replacement and recalibrate after installation.
Rinse before and after samples, protect the sensing pins and follow the conductivity-only manual’s capped storage routine. The linked English regional manual describes water in the EC60 cap; that instruction must not be transferred to PC60’s combined glass/EC probe or to ORP60.
