EC Milwaukee CD 611 testers

The EC Tester Milwaukee CD611 is an indispensable device in indoor hydroponic cultivation, for the control of liquids and the amount of fertilizers in the nutritional solution.

It is a electric conductivity meter (EC) of the soil with manual calibration, capable of verifying that the environment is safe from possible current sudden changes or from other phenomena that could cause huge damage to crops.

This pocket Electronic Tester produced by Milwaukee is a quick, effective and reliable tool that performs the function of meter of electric conductivity values ​​(EC) , but also of control of the amount of salt or dissolved solids (TDS) in the water.

equipment

The EC Tester Milwaukee CD611 is provided complete with:

• Protective hood;
• Spel to carry out the calibration;
• batteries (4 x 1.5v);
• Instruction manual in Italian.

methods of use and calibration of the EC meter in hydroponics ergonomicity and compactness are not the only strengths of an EC Tester. Another added value of this tool is practicality . The tester, in fact, was specially designed to be simple and directed to use.

Before being used, however, the appliance must be accurately calibrated. The calibration of the Milwaukee CD611 is an easy quite easy process. It will be sufficient to follow these few simple steps: & nbsp;

Turn on the instrument by means of the on/off button

Prepare the appropriate buffer solution (12880 US/cm); & nbsp;

Immerse the EC Tester in this solution;

Waiting for the reader to stabilize;

Adjust the trimmer, the small screw on the back of the meter, until it reaches the desired value, 128 or 129.

Once set up, to proceed with the actual use, just hit it in the solution to be examined and check the measurement carried out on the display. The temperature can affect the conductivity measurement for 2% each degree centigrado.

However, thanks to the automatic temperature compensation system , there is no risk that the temperature of the external environment can distort the reading. & Nbsp;

Warnings and maintenance advice

To ensure that the tool is not ruined early and maintain optimal performance, careful and regular maintenance is recommended. To do this it will be essential to follow some good practices, such as:

Rinse and clean the EC meter probe with water after each use;

Clean the probe by immersing it for about 20 minutes in a cleaning solution MA9016, at least once a month.

How to choose the best Ph/EC meter

It should be specified that the Milwaukee CD611 is not a tester for pH but only ec : control the level of the pH does not fall within its functions. & Nbsp;

However, there are devices on the market that are at the same time detectors of Ph and Ec Tester . If you are looking for a EC and PH meter at the same time, you will have to orient yourself on another model.

But if, on the other hand, you need an electric conductivity meter, then Milwaukee CD611 is certainly the right model because it combines a cost contained with a guaranteed reliability, to measure values of EC or TDS .
