A TDS/EC meter is traditionally used by hydroponic gardeners, these devices test the amounts of dissolved salts that are present in their nutrient solutions. It does not tell you the exact amounts of each nutrient, but more an idea of the “strength” of your nutrient solution. Higher PPM/EC results in a solution having “more nutrients” available.
How To Use:
- Step 1: Remove the electrode protective cap before use
- Step 2: Press the ON/OFF button, and immerse the meter into the solution. (The solution should not over the immersion line)
- Step 3: After the numerical display is steady, press the HOLD button and take it out of the solution for checking the result
- Step 4: Wipe clean the electrode after use, turn off the meter and replace the protective cap
How To Calibrate:
- Step 1: Remove the electrode protective cap
- Step 2: Press the ‘ON/OFF button, and immerse the meter into the calibration solution. (The solution should not over the immersion line)
- Step 3: Change the display using the ‘SHIFT‘ button to the conductivity (?S/cm) display
- Step 4: Hold the ‘SHIFT‘ button till the display flashes
- Step 5: Press the ‘ON/OFF‘ button to increase the value on the screen and press the ‘HOLD‘ button to decrease the value
- Step 6: Match the conductivity (?S/cm) reading with as close to the conductivity of the calibration solution (1413 ?S/cm) as possible
- Step 7: Hold the ‘SHIFT‘ button till the display stops flashing, the device is now calibrated
- Step 8: Wipe clean and dry the electrode after use, turn off the meter and replace the protective cap.
Calibration notes:
To ensure that the device displays accurate readings between uses; it would be advised to re-calibrate the device.
