Technical Specifications

Laboratory Validation and Real-World Performance

Lab Results

The EC-98361 was evaluated against laboratory-grade EC meters using standard buffer solutions. In repeated tests, its readings deviated by less than ±2% from reference equipment:

Field Testing

• Crop Fields: The meter provided stable EC readings across loamy, sandy, and clay soils. Fertilizer optimization led to yield increases of 10–20% (compared to fields managed without soil EC testing).

• Greenhouses: Real-time EC monitoring of hydroponic solutions resulted in improved fruit size and uniformity.

• Home Gardens: Plant stress from salinity was detected early, preventing irreversible damage.

Response Time

Average time to stable measurement: under 10 seconds—making it one of the fastest tools for on-site testing.

Applications

• Home Gardens: Monitor soil health to keep vegetables, flowers, and lawns vibrant.

• Greenhouses & Hydroponics: Maintain precise nutrient levels for high-value crops.

• Agriculture: Map soil conductivity across fields for precision fertilization.

• Public Parks & Landscaping: Ensure consistent conditions for managed green spaces.

• Education: A practical, hands-on instrument for teaching soil science.

• Research: Reliable enough for academic and commercial research trials.

Operation Guide

1. Prepare: Remove protective cap, rinse probe with distilled water, gently dry.

2. Power On: Switch on the meter.

3. Insert Probe: Place probe in the soil or nutrient solution.

4. Wait: Allow the reading to stabilize (usually <10s).

5. Range Selection: Use the ms/μs switch for high/low range as needed.

6. Read Value: Backlit display ensures readability.

7. Calibrate: Use buffer solutions regularly for accurate data.

8. After Use: Rinse and dry the probe, replace protective cap.

Maintenance

• Calibration: Monthly (or before high-precision projects) with 1413μs/cm or 1.41ms/cm solution.

• Cleaning: Wash probe with distilled water after each use. For stubborn debris, use ethyl alcohol and shake for 5–10 seconds.

• Storage: Always keep the protective cap on when not in use.

• Electrode Care: Avoid forceful contact with stones or hard objects in the soil.
