The Oakton 35423-10 EcoTestr pH 2 is a handheld, waterproof, and
dustproof pocket meter that measures pH and floats, if dropped in
liquid. A portable pocket meter is commonly used to measure the
pH of substance in hydroponics, education, water , and
swimming pools. This meter has ATC for accurate readings in
fluctuating temperatures, and push-button calibration
capabilities up to three points for a wide range of results. It
features a transparent, protective cap to reduce contamination
and protect the sensor. The cap keeps the sensor moist when
stored upright, and can be used as a container for
sensor-conditioning, or on-site calibration. The meter’s
waterproof and dustproof housing has IP67-rating for protection
against solid objects or liquids. The testr has a long-lasting
sensor with Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) reference junction
with polymer gel for long lifespan. The meter has a large,
upright, single-line LCD screen for ease of viewing, a hold
function which freezes readings for , and an auto
shut-off to extend the life of the batteries. It has a click-lock
battery cover for battery access to replace batteries without
tools.
The 35423-10 pocket meter comes with an integral sensor, has ATC
from 0 to 50 degrees C (32 to 122 degrees F), and works in an
operating temperature of 0 to 50 degrees C (32 to 122 degrees F).
It has three-point automatic calibration at three US buffer
values of US 4.0, 7.0 or 10.0. pH range is 0.0 to 14.0,
resolution 0.1, accuracy + or - 0.1. Its dimensions are 1.25 (l)
x 1.5 (w) x 6.5 (h) inches (3.2 x 3.8 x 16.8 cm) and it weighs
3.25 ounces. The testr works with four 1.5-V alkaline batteries
(not included) for up to 250 hours of continuous use (Eveready
A76 or LR44 replacements).
pH testers measure the or alkalinity of a substance and
are commonly used by researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists in
aquaculture, agriculture, hydroponics, wine-making, and
water-testing, and for scientific applications.
Oakton Instruments manufactures an array of scientific
instruments for research, industrial, and educational uses. Since
1991, Oakton has distributed a wide variety of instruments such
as meters, electrodes, and transmitters. Oakton is based in
Vernon Hills, IL, and has facilities in Europe, Asia, and China.
What’s in the Box?
* Meter 35423-10
* Integral sensor
*Age of the solutions, storing of the solutions, contamination
of the solutions can all affect readings.
*Accuracy depends on caliberation standards, type of water or
how the meter is stored.
*Are you testing RO water, distilled water, de-ionized water?
Over time these liquids will drain the electrode of IONS and
render the meter useless. Water of this type has no IONS so the
salt solution within the probe will migrate out of the pH probe
into the water. Naturally IONS move from high concentration to
low concentration to create equilibrium. You can always use a TDS
meter to test the water, you should get a reading around
0.00ppm.
*How should the Testrs being stored? In OAKTON storage
solution. The storage solution contains the same liquid that is
inside of the electrode which helps replenish and create longer
life. Electrodes take on the characteristics of the liquids they
are measuring over time, that’s why a lot of complaints about
meter is stuck on one reading.
