The Portable TDS/EC Meter is a professional multi-functional instrument designed for precise water quality testing. This pen-style meter measures TDS (total dissolved solids), conductivity, and temperature with fast numerical stability and accurate results—essential for maintaining optimal shrimp tank parameters. Measurement Range: Conductivity: 0–9999 μS/cm TDS: 0–9999 ppm Temperature (Celsius): 0.1–60.0°C Temperature (Fahrenheit): 32.0–140.0°F Accuracy: ±2% Key Features: Hold Function: Lock measurement results by pressing the "HOLD" button, or auto-lock after 5 minutes of inactivity. Press "SHIFT" to convert between measurement modes. Auto Shut-off: Automatically powers off after 5 minutes to conserve battery life. Automatic Temperature Compensation: Ensures accurate readings across varying water temperatures. Compact Pen Design: Portable and easy to use for quick water testing. How to Use: Remove the electrode protective cap before use. Press the ON/OFF button and immerse the meter into the solution. (Do not exceed the immersion line.) Once the numerical display stabilizes, press the HOLD button and remove from solution to read the result. Wipe the electrode clean after use, turn off the meter, and replace the protective cap. Ideal For: Monitoring water parameters in shrimp tanks, aquariums, and aquascaping setups to ensure optimal conditions for sensitive species like Caridina shrimp.
