## Overview

The APELINE INSTRUMENTS EC60 is a professional-grade, waterproof conductivity meter offering ±1% accuracy for EC, TDS, salt, and temperature measurements. Featuring replaceable electrodes, a dual-color backlit LCD, and IP67 dustproof/waterproof rating, it delivers reliable, precise readings in diverse settings. Powered by 4 AAA batteries with up to 1000 hours runtime, it comes as a complete kit with calibration liquids and a carrying case—perfect for hydroponics, soil testing, and water quality monitoring.

## Description

The Apeline Threadments 60 Series is able to handle a wide range of measuring ranges, so it is equipped with a different electrode shape to measure pH/EC/TDS/salt/ORP/temperature, and is popular in a variety of industries. EC Measurement Range: 0-200.0 µS/cm, 0-2000 µS/cm, 0-20.00 mS/cm TDS measurement range: 0.1 ppm - 10.00 ppt Salt Measurement Range: 0 - 10.00 ppt Temperature measurement range: 0 - 50.0 ˚C Resolution: 0.1/1µS, 0.01Ms; 0.1 ˚C Accuracy: ±1%F.S; 0.5˚C 1 to 3 points automatic calibration with calibration completion indicator 0~50˚C Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) The EC electrode with BPB technology (non-peeling white gold and black plating) minimizes the polarization of the EC electrode, increases the measurement range and increases the durability of the electrode. This makes it easy to maintain, and it maintains high precision and consistency even with a wide range of conductivity measurements, making it much better than conventional stainless steel EC electrodes. Large LCD screen with 2 color backlight (blue for measurement and green for calibration) displays measurement and temperature at the same time as the measurement stability marks, and confirmation marks when completed calibration. The electrodes are replaceable, so testers can be used for long periods of time at a low cost. Self-diagnostic information, measurement stability display mark, automatic hold measurement value, TDS factor (0.40 - 1.00), adjustable, IP67 dustproof and waterproof. Up to 1000 hours of continuous operation with 4 AAA batteries (low voltage warning function and automatic shut-off function after 8 minutes of button operation). Set Includes: EC60 tester, 1 each, 1 of 50ml capacity EC calibrated standard liquid (1413 μs/cm and 12.88 mS/cm) each, 4 AAA batteries installed, 2 calibrated beakers, portable strap, carrying case. CE certification. The product is 2 years after purchase and the electrode is 6 months.

Review: It does cost a pretty good price when compared to those cheap Sub $20 TDS meter. I got an old cheap TDS meter I got from Home Depot but the old cell battery was dead and expanded. Didn't known the battery cell was bad and forced into the meter and breaks the cap and battery slot. I hate those watch battery type cells that is not as reliable as AAA size batteries. I had to get a new and better TDS meter that is more accurate and will last a long time. This Apera EC60 Tester Kit Meter can handle 4 types EC, TDS, Salinity, and of course temperature. I wanted the Apera TDS Meter but they were out of stock. For a few tens this one does 2 additional types. I have ran a few tests. Distilled Water Great Value brand = 1.00 ppm TDS R.O. System = 20 ppm TDS R.O. boiled water = 26.9 ppm TDS (Not sure why slightly higher? Maybe the container we used?) Refrigerator Water Filter = 294 ppm TDS Tap Water = 306 ppm TDS ( I think my refrigerator water filter needs to be changed or it is not working to well. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase I made. The EC60 was pre-calibrated with a tested calibrated quality certification and I was able to get a 1.0 ppm TDS on my distilled water. Other features I found out from the quick laminated guide was you can do 7 programs. Changes like option to turn off/on P1 auto lock, P2 leave 1 min default/off/on, P3 - P3 Change temp coefficient and TDS factor for calibration, P5 change salinity type measurements, P6 change temperature from F° to C°, and lastly P6 does restore back to factory default (factory resetting). This might be a little overkill for some but for me who appreciates accuracy in 1% and a high well made meter, the calibration kit, and sturdy carrying case is a perfect whole kit for testing my home water.
Review: Na samym początku od zakupu urządzenie działało prawidłowo. Po pewnym masie musiałem je kalibrować, gdyż odczyty na buforach dawały duże rozbieżności. Niestety urządzenie nie wykrywało prawidłowych buforów i pokazywało tylko wartość dolną zakresu L czyli 84 mikro Siemensy / cm. Próba przywrócenia ustawień fabrycznych funkcją P7 - nie dawała żadnego rezultatu. Po pewnym czasie nie dało się również urządzenia wykrywać za pomocą bluetooth na telefonie. Uważam że jest to zbyt droga zabawka jak na swoją cenę - nie polecam.

The pH60 I purchased from Apera via Amazon has been an excellent instrument. This EC60 is equally well made as it is basically same housing. The meter was a breeze to calibrate, and yes it did require calibration. Everything is included to start using the meter right away. I love the case that holds the unit and the calibration vials. Very happy with this purchase.
