Milwaukee EC Meter CD601

Milwaukee EC Meter CD601 Product Description: The Milwaukee CD601 conductivity tester is a convenient digital pen-type meter for measuring electrical conductivity (EC) in various applications such as aquariums, aquaculture, pools, and water treatment systems. It features automatic temperature compensation (ATC) to ensure accurate measurements at varying temperatures. The conductivity tester is a useful solution for monitoring nutrient levels in water, whether for the health of fish in aquariums or the efficiency of water filtration systems. Key Features of the CD601 Conductivity Tester: Measuring range: 0-1990 µS/cm (microsiemens per centimeter) Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) Factory calibrated with single-point calibration capability Long operating time of up to 350 hours with four 1.5V batteries (included) Ideal for applications in aquariums, aquaculture, pools, and water treatment systems Care Instructions: To ensure accurate measurements and extend the life of the conductivity tester, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the probe with fresh tap or distilled water after each use. This will prevent nutrient deposits from building up on the probe. EC to TDS Conversion: The conductivity tester displays values ​​in microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm), but sometimes you may want to convert the values ​​to TDS (dissolved solids in parts per million). There are different scales for this conversion, including the 500 scale, the 650 scale, and the 700 scale. The conversion can vary depending on the scale, so it's important to choose the correct scale for your application. For example, on the 0.50 scale, 2000 µS/cm corresponds to 2.0 mS/cm, or 1000 ppm. On the 442 or 0.70 scale, 2000 µS/cm corresponds to 2.0 mS/cm, or 1400 ppm. The Milwaukee CD601 Conductivity Tester is a useful tool for accurately monitoring nutrient levels in water and ensuring proper conditions for aquariums and water treatment systems.
