Proper Care & Maintenance
-
Rinse the probe with distilled water after each use to prevent residue buildup
-
Calibrate regularly using EC calibration solution for reliable accuracy
-
Store in a dry, cool place and replace the probe cap after use
-
Replace the electrode when readings become unstable or calibration fails
-
Avoid extreme heat, direct sunlight, and freezing conditions
-
Rinse in fresh tap water after every use to minimise nutrient buildup
Converting EC to TDS
The C66 measures conductivity directly in mS/cm, but values can be converted to TDS (ppm) using conversion factors.
-
2.00 mS/cm = 2000 µS/cm = 1000 ppm (0.50 factor scale)
-
2.00 mS/cm = 2000 µS/cm = 1400 ppm (0.70 factor scale / 442 scale)
Note: True PPM can only be determined via chemical analysis.
