Digital. Simple. Compact.
The Milwaukee CD600 Digital Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Pen is designed for hydroponics, aquariums, horticulture, water conditioning, and many other applications.
In agriculture, the CD600 helps to make sure that your plants are receiving the right amount of nutrient. For water filtration, this pen helps to make sure your filters are up-to-date and clean. Keeping TDS in your target range helps to achieve better results.
Design Features
- Measures Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) direct (ppm).
- Ideal range for hydroponics (0 to 1990 ppm).
- Units in ppm easily convertible to µS/cm.
- Simple one-point calibration.
- Factory calibrated with the ability to recalibrate if needed.
- Use calibration Solution M10032B or MA9062 (1382 ppm solutions).
- Automatic Temp. Compensation (ATC)
- Battery life of approx. 300 hours of continuous use
Care and Use
Maintenance
TDS/PPM electrodes can develop nutrient build up over time. To miminize build up, always rinse the probe in fresh tap or DI water after every use.
Converting TDS to EC
The Milwaukee TDS Pen, like all TDS meters, provides a measure of Total Dissolved Solids (ppm) reading, of contaminates per unit of volume in a solution.
TDS/PPM is often converted to uS/cm. Different scales include the 500 scale, 650 scale and the 700 scale.
Your TDS/PPM readings can be approximately converted to uS/cm as shown in the examples below.
1 ppm = 2 uS/cm on the 0.5 factor scale
1 ppm = 1.43 µS/cm on the 442 scale or .70 factor scale
Thank you for considering Milwaukee to help you take your results to the next level.
