Soil Conductivity/Salinity Meter w/ Carrying Case

This instrument was designed to address the need for fast and accurate conductivity measurements in soil and liquids. It is supplied with two probes: a stainless steel, conical tip for direct soil measurement and one for fertilizer-enriched solutions.

The meter measures the soil conductivity in EC (mS/cm) as well as salt activity (g/L). The different scales can be selected through two keys on the front panel and two separate LEDs indicate which parameter is being tested. In addition, it  is equipped with an alarm LED that illuminates if the soil is too dry or nutritive substances such as potassium or nitrogen are lacking. Demineralized water can be added to the soil prior to proceeding with further tests.

Direct soil measurement is facilitated by the stainless steel probe. Once the probe inserted into the ground, just wait until the meter displays the value.

Features

• Probes for liquid and direct soil measurement
• Automatic temperature compensation
• BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System) alerts the user in the event that low battery power could adversely affect readings
• Includes probes, battery, instructions, and rugged carrying case

Weight:	4.5 lbs.

Q:	What is the suggested pH range for my hydroponic system and soil plants?
A:	Hydroponic and soil gardens differ in the fact they both need different pH ranges for nutrients to be made available for plant absorption. Maintain a pH between 5.0 and 6.5 for hydroponic gardens and 6.0 to 7.0 for soil applications.

Q:	My pH meter doesn't hold calibration. How often should I recalibrate it?
A:	pH meters do need to be calibrated by the user every day since the membrane does change and is affected by the temperature as well. If pH values are very critical then it will need to be recalibrated several times a day, or before each sample test (depending on how critical the value is). Uncontaminated calibration solution is very important as well. For each calibration, pour some solution in a separate container. Keep out of sunlight and away from heat.
