Milwaukee TDS Tester with ATC and 1 point manual calibration - CD600

CD600 TDS Tester with ATC and 1 point manual calibration by Milwaukee

The Milwaukee CD600 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Pen is designed for hydroponics, aquariums, horticulture, water conditioning and many other applications. The CD600 helps you make sure that your plants are receiving the right amount of nutrient or helps you keep your filters up-to-date and clean for water filtration. Keep TDS in your target range to help your achieve better results.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Measures Total Disolved (TDS) direct and with automatic temperature compensation.
• Ideal range for hydroponics (0 to 1990 ppm).
• Units in ppm easily convertable to μS/cm.
• Factory calibrated with the ability to recalibrate if needed.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
• 350 hours continuous use (4 x 1.5V batteries included).
• Simple one point calibration.

MAINTENANCE

TDS/PPM electrodes can develop nutrient build up over time. To miminize build up, always rinse the probe in fresh tap or DI water after every use.

CONVERTING TDS TO EC

The Milwaukee TDS Pen, like all TDS meters, provides a measure of Total Dissolved Solids (ppm) reading, of contaminates per unit of volume in a solution.

TDS/PPM is often converted to μS/cm. Different scales include the 500 scale, 650 scale and the 700 scale.

Your TDS/PPM readings can be approximately converted to μS/cm as shown in the examples below.

1 ppm = 2 μS/cm on the 0.5 factor scale

1 ppm = 1.43 μS/cm on the 442 scale or .70 factor scale
