Compact conductivity meter for hydroponics, aquaculture and water treatment

ECO 521

Conductivity meter / EC-Meter with permanently connected titanium measuring cell for precise measurement up to 5000 µS/cm.

Introduction

Daily water and nutrient checks need a meter that is quick to use, easy to read and ready for demanding field conditions. ECO 521 measures conductivity in liquids up to 5000 μS/cm and also displays EC, CF, TDS and temperature, making it well suited for hydroponics, aquaculture, plant breeding, osmosis plants and boiler feed water checks.
 
The permanently connected 2-pole titanium measuring cell is designed for long-term stable, fast measurement and includes an integrated temperature sensor for quick, accurate temperature compensation. For natural water applications, nonlinear temperature compensation according to EN 27888 can be selected.
 
A compact, break-proof ABS housing with ingress protection IP65/IP67 supports reliable daily use. The 3-line illuminated display shows measured values clearly, while Min/Max/Hold functions, overhead display at the push of a button and more than 1000 h battery life help keep routine measurements simple.

Features

Measuring parameters

The device measures conductivity, EC, CF, TDS and temperature with a permanently connected measuring cell for liquid applications.

Titanium measuring cell

The LF 209 2-pole titanium/plastic measuring cell is fixed-mounted, with Ø 12 mm design and 1.2 m cable length.

Temperature compensation

Automatic temperature compensation is available, with nonlinear compensation according to EN 27888 and a deactivated mode.

Display and operation

The 3-line display includes background light, battery status indicator and overhead display. Four long-life buttons control operation.

Adjustment functions

The device supports offset and gradient correction for temperature and gradient correction for the conductivity value.

Portable housing

The handheld housing is made from break-proof ABS and measures 108 x 54 x 28 mm without the sensor.
