Description
Designed for hydroponic growers, the Milwaukee EC60 PRO Waterproof EC/TDS/Temperature Tester helps to make sure that your plants have the ideal amount of nutrient available.
Keeping EC in your target range helps to achieve better results.
Design Features
- Measures conductivity and TDS with Automatic Temp. Compensation (ATC).
- EC59 features the ideal range for aquaculture and other applications.
- EC60 features the ideal range for hydroponic and other growers.
- Units easily convertible to other ranges.
- Factory calibrated with the ability to recalibrate if needed.
- Use MA9060 or M10030B 12,880 µS/cm.
- Replaceable electrode Mi59P.
- Fully waterproof to IP65.
- Approx. 100 hours of continuous use (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 water after every use.
Converting EC to TDS
The Milwaukee EC60 PRO Conductivity Tester, like all conductivity meters, provides a measure of electrically charged ions in a solution and is an absolute measure of conductivity.
In Hydroponics, 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 mS/cm reading can be approximately converted to TDS (ppm) as shown in the examples below.
2.00 mS/cm = 2000 µS/cm = 1000 ppm on .50 factor scale
2.00 mS/cm = 2000 µS/cm = 1400 ppm on the 442 scale or .70 factor scale
