Description
The Milwaukee C65 (Low Range) Waterproof Conductivity (EC) Pen is designed for aquarium, aquaculture, agriculture, and pool applications.
For aquariums, C65 helps to make sure that your fish or plants are receiving the right amount of nutrient to help keep your water clean and clear. Keeping EC in your target range helps to achieve better results.
Design Features
- Measures conductivity direct.
- Ideal range for Aquaculture (0 to 1999 µS/cm).
- Units directly in µS/cm (no conversions required).
- Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
- Factory calibrated with the ability to recalibrate if needed.
- Use MA9061 or M10031B 1413 µS/cm.
- Replaceable electrode.
- Fully waterproof to IP65 standards.
- 250 hours continuous use (3 x 1.5V batteries included).
Care and Use
Maintenance
EC electrodes can develop nutrient build up over time. To minimize build up, always rinse the probe in fresh tap or DI water after every use.
Converting EC to TDS
The Milwaukee EC Pen, like all conductivity meters, provides a measure of electrically charged ions in a solution and is an absolute measure of conductivity.
EC is often converted to TDS in parts per million (ppm). Different scales include the 500 scale, 650 scale and the 700 scale. However, true PPM can only be determined through chemical analysis.
Your uS/cm reading can be approximately converted to TDS (ppm) as shown in the examples below.
1 uS/cm = 0.5 ppm on a .5 factor scale
1 uS/cm = 0.7 ppm on a .70 factor scale (442)
Thank you for considering Milwaukee to help you take your results to the next level.
