Apera Instruments EC60-Z Smart Conductivity Meter

Apera Instruments EC60-Z Smart Conductivity Meter

Brand: APERA Instruments
Model: EC60-Z
Product Type: Smart Conductivity Meter

Product Description

The Apera Instruments EC60-Z Smart Conductivity Meter is a water quality measuring instrument designed to measure electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity (salt content), resistivity (specific resistance), and temperature practically and accurately. This instrument is the smart meter generation from Apera Instruments that combines digital measurement with smartphone connectivity to simplify the water analysis process.

The EC60-Z can be connected to a smartphone through a compatible app. The app provides step-by-step measurement guidance so users can follow the testing procedure more easily. Various display modes help users read measurement results in detail or quickly monitor measurement progress.

One of the advantages of the EC60-Z is its electrode with a platinum coating, designed to be strong and durable to support consistent conductivity measurement. This instrument also has an alarm function when measurement results exceed the available measuring range, so users can know when a sample is outside the instrument’s measurement limits.

Cloud-based data management features allow measurement and calibration data to be shared via email using the compatible app. Despite having smart connectivity functions, the EC60-Z can still be used without a smartphone for direct measurement through the device.

With IP67 protection, a waterproof and floatable design, and operation using four AAA batteries, the Apera EC60-Z is suitable for water quality testing in laboratories, water treatment, environmental monitoring, and various field measurement applications. This instrument is also compatible with the EC60-DE electrode.
