## Overview

The Apera Instruments AI314 EC60 Pocket Tester is a professional-grade, waterproof conductivity meter offering ±1% accuracy with a replaceable platinum black sensor. It features auto calibration, temperature compensation, and a large backlit LCD for dual display of temperature and conductivity/TDS/salinity. Powered by 4 AAA batteries with up to 1000 hours runtime, it comes as a complete kit including calibration solutions and a durable carrying case, ideal for hydroponics, water treatment, and environmental monitoring.

## Description

Apera Instruments Premium Series EC60 Pocket Tester tests conductivity/TDS/salinity of general water solutions in a reliable and easy manner. The applications include hydroponics, tap/drinking water, pools& spas, education, water treatment, environmental monitoring, etc. Up to 3 points of auto. calibration and 0 to 50˚C Auto. Temperature Compensation (ATC), 1% F. S, 0. 5˚C accuracy in a range of 0-20. 00 mS/cm (20, 000 µS/cm), 0-50. 0˚C. Apera's unique platinum black sensor adopts a special processing technology, which minimizes electrode polarization, expands measuring range, and increases firmness of the electrode, hence ensuring a much higher accuracy and consistency in a wide-range conductivity measurement compared to traditional stainless steel electrodes. The probe is replaceable and easy to install so that you don’t have to buy a whole new meter once the probe retires. Auto. recognition and indication of stable values improves consistency, saving you the trouble of guessing when to manually hold measurement. With a large LCD screen with 2 backlight colors (blue for measurement, green for calibration), it supports dual display of temp. /EC value and indicators of successful calibrations and stable readings. Easy parameter settings, customizing your tester functions according to your needs (switch of temperature unit, TDS factor setting, switch of salinity unit, auto. hold on/off). Smart self-diagnosis, warning of out-of-range/preset measurement and incorrect calibrations. Comes with a complete kit. IP67 water-resistant, 1000 hours' continuous operation powered by AAA batteries (with low power warning and auto power off in 8 min if no operation). The product is CE and RoHS certified, and is manufactured under an ISO 9001: 2015 certified quality system.

Review: It does cost a pretty good price when compared to those cheap Sub $20 TDS meter. I got an old cheap TDS meter I got from Home Depot but the old cell battery was dead and expanded. Didn't known the battery cell was bad and forced into the meter and breaks the cap and battery slot. I hate those watch battery type cells that is not as reliable as AAA size batteries. I had to get a new and better TDS meter that is more accurate and will last a long time. This Apera EC60 Tester Kit Meter can handle 4 types EC, TDS, Salinity, and of course temperature. I wanted the Apera TDS Meter but they were out of stock. For a few tens this one does 2 additional types. I have ran a few tests. Distilled Water Great Value brand = 1.00 ppm TDS R.O. System = 20 ppm TDS R.O. boiled water = 26.9 ppm TDS (Not sure why slightly higher? Maybe the container we used?) Refrigerator Water Filter = 294 ppm TDS Tap Water = 306 ppm TDS ( I think my refrigerator water filter needs to be changed or it is not working to well. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase I made. The EC60 was pre-calibrated with a tested calibrated quality certification and I was able to get a 1.0 ppm TDS on my distilled water. Other features I found out from the quick laminated guide was you can do 7 programs. Changes like option to turn off/on P1 auto lock, P2 leave 1 min default/off/on, P3 - P3 Change temp coefficient and TDS factor for calibration, P5 change salinity type measurements, P6 change temperature from F° to C°, and lastly P6 does restore back to factory default (factory resetting). This might be a little overkill for some but for me who appreciates accuracy in 1% and a high well made meter, the calibration kit, and sturdy carrying case is a perfect whole kit for testing my home water.
Review: Na samym początku od zakupu urządzenie działało prawidłowo. Po pewnym masie musiałem je kalibrować, gdyż odczyty na buforach dawały duże rozbieżności. Niestety urządzenie nie wykrywało prawidłowych buforów i pokazywało tylko wartość dolną zakresu L czyli 84 mikro Siemensy / cm. Próba przywrócenia ustawień fabrycznych funkcją P7 - nie dawała żadnego rezultatu. Po pewnym czasie nie dało się również urządzenia wykrywać za pomocą bluetooth na telefonie. Uważam że jest to zbyt droga zabawka jak na swoją cenę - nie polecam.
