S, 0. 5˚C accuracy with -2. 00 to 16. 00 pH & 0 to 20. 00 mS/cm measuring range, auto recognition and reminders of stable values improves consistency, saving you the trouble of guessing when to manually hold measurement (auto. hold function available). Easy menu setting, customizing your tester’s functions according to your needs. Smart self-diagnosis, warning of out-of-range measurement and incorrect calibrations. IP67 waterproof and dustproof, floating on water so you don’t have to worry if it falls into water by accident. Up to 1000 hours' continuous operation (without backlit) powered by AAA batteries (with low power warning and auto power off in 8 min if no operation)es with a complete kit of premixed calibration solutions (4. 00 and 7. 00), soaking solutions (3M KCL), calibration bottles, AAA batteries, and a lanyard all in a portable carrying case. The meter is CE certified and comes with a 2-YEAR (6 months for the probe). NOTES: The instrument will NOT perform well for distilled or deionized water's pH measurement ( works well for conductivity). This is because distilled and deionized water do not have enough ions present for the electrode to function properly in pH measurement. To measure distilled or deionized water’s pH, users need to use a specialized pH meter such as Apera SX811-PW. Do NOT store the probe in distilled water or deionized water because they will cause damage to the glass membrane of the pH probe. Only use distilled water for rinsing the probe. Refer instruction manual before use. ## Features - Measures pH/EC/TDS (ppm)/Salinity/Temp. in a quick and professional manner - Replaceable multi-parameter probe with easy installation - When the smiley face icon stays on screen, it's the right time to record the measurements. - LARGE Clear LCD screen with 3 backlit color (indicating 3 different modes), dual display of temp. + pH/EC/TDS/Salinity, and icons of completed calibrations and stable readings - Complete kit with ready-to-use calibration solutions, calibration bottles, storage solutions, AAA batteries, and a lanyard all in a portable carrying case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ENFOIKA | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,848 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #3 in Lab Multiparameter Meters | | Brand Name | Apera Instruments | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,216) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00858718006094 | | Included Components | PC60 Premium Pocket Multiparameter Tester Kit | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 1.6 x 1.6 inches | | Item Weight | 4.7 ounces | | Manufacturer | Apera Instruments | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model | AI316 | | Part Number | AI316 | | UPC | 858718006094 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Two-Year limited warranty for the instrument, Six-Month limited warranty for the electrode(s). | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Apera Instruments - **Item Weight:** 4.7 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7 x 1.6 x 1.6 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![APERA INSTRUMENTS AI316 Premium Series PC60 5-in-1 Waterproof pH/EC (Conductivity) /TDS (ppm) /Salinity (ppt) /Temp.

This unit has Auto Temperature Compensation from 0 to 50˚C **Q: How often should I change the probe?** A: If damaged or isnt calibrating correctly. Unsure on longevity. **Q: Why does the tdc function change from ppm to ppt? and, how do you read this in ppm? what does 1.25 ppt mean in ppm?** A: 1 ppt (parts per thousand) = 1,000 ppm (parts per million). 1.25ppt would be 1250 ppm. **Q: for weekly use, How frequently does the probe need to be replaced?** A: As a rule of thumb, we recommend replacing the one after one year of regular use to ensure the best accuracy. ## Frequently Bought Together - APERA INSTRUMENTS AI316 Premium Series PC60 5-in-1 Waterproof pH/EC (Conductivity) /TDS (ppm) /Salinity (ppt) /Temp.
