Feature 1Completely waterproof. The battery compartment is sealed against accidental splashing or brief submersion under one meter of water or plant food. 2Measures EC (electrical conductivity), CF (conductivity factor) and PPM (parts per million) scales. 3High conductivity measurement for a broad range of crops. 4Factory calibrated. 5Auto turn on and off function activates truncheon when put in to, or taken out of solution.If you use hydroponics to grow your own fruit and vegetables then you'll know how important it is to get the mix of the nutrients that you feed them just right. This truncheon nutrient meter is so quick and easy to use and will give you accurate results time after time. All readings are displayed on the meterno need to consult books or manuals. Just dip into your solution and read.The proper combination of nutrients = top quality fruit and vegReads:EC (electrical conductivity)CF (conductivity factor)PPM (parts per million)Great Benefits:Simple to read resultsflashing LED light scale gives you all the info you needAccurate readings every timetruncheon is factory calibrated (further calibrations can be carried out easily with EC 1.4 buffer solution on regular basis to keep accuracy).Use in varied environmentscompletelytemperature compensatedSecure from water damagewaterproofLonger battery lifeauto onoff function activates truncheon when put in to, or taken out of, solutionUserfriendly 2 step process to taking your readingHow Do I Use My Truncheon?1. Place the head of the probe into the solution for 12 minutes so that the temperature of the probe and the liquid are the same. Remove probe.2. Place the probe back into the solution. The LED lights will indicate the nutrient levels3. Rinse probe and replace cover. That's itFeatures:Completely waterproof.
