The EC600 Digital Conductivity / pH Meter is a multi-functional instrument that measures Conductivity, pH and Temperature parameters. Conductivity measurements also yield TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), Salinity and Resistivity readings. The built-in microprocessor provides automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation, data storage and self-diagnostics. The meter can recognize up to 13 types of pH standard buffer solutions and 8 types of Conductivity standards. The meter's digital filter improves measurement speed and accuracy. Two special modes (for distilled water and distilled water mixed with ammonia) are provided. The meter offers a backlit LCD display and is dust-proof and water-proof, meeting the IP57 rating. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
This manual provides instructions for the EXTECH EC600, a digital meter capable of measuring conductivity, pH, temperature, TDS, salinity, and resistivity. The device features a built-in microprocessor for automatic calibration and temperature compensation, along with a backlit LCD display and IP57 dust-proof and water-proof rating.
The guide details the setup of the supplied equipment, including the meter and electrodes, and explains how to use the keypad for various functions such as data storage and recall. It includes step-by-step procedures for 1, 2, and 3-point pH calibrations using standard buffer solutions, as well as instructions for programming parameters like temperature units and backlight duration.
