Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Integrated Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
Benefit: Adjusts readings to a standardized 25 degrees Celsius, solving the problem of measurement drift caused by thermal fluctuations during outdoor field studies or varying lab temperatures.
Feature: Dual-Parameter Detection (TDS and EC).
Benefit: Allows students to observe the direct correlation between electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids, facilitating a deeper understanding of ionic mobility and saline concentration.
Feature: Hold Functionality.
Benefit: Freezes the measurement on the Liquid Crystal Display, solving the difficulty of recording data when the meter is submerged in hard-to-reach sampling sites.
Feature: Titanium Alloy Electrode Sensors.
Benefit: Provides high corrosion resistance against diverse chemical solutes such as Magnesium Sulfate or Sodium Chloride, ensuring long-term data accuracy and instrument durability.
Feature: Automated Power Management.
Benefit: Includes an auto-shutoff timer to preserve battery life during intermittent classroom use, ensuring the device remains operational for consecutive laboratory rotations.
