EC-meter, Microsiemens, µS. - AP-2
What meter to choose? Detailed info and video
Suitable for aquarium. Measures the electric conductivity in a liquid in the unit µS (abbrev. for MicroSiemens)
- Measures electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature.
- Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
- Water-resistant housing
- Measurement Range: 0-9999 µS
- Digital Calibration (push button)
- Auto-off function, data-hold function and low-battery indicator.
- Display: large and easy-to-read LCD screen includes simultaneous temperature reading.
- Factory calibrated with a 700 µS solution. The meter can be recalibrated with digital calibration using the push buttons and a calibration fluid.
- Includes a plastic storage case.

Convert between ppm and µS (micro Siemens): For HM Digitals meters: 1 ppm = 2 µS
AP-2 is in relation to EC-3 newer, smarter, nicer looking, thinner, magnetic and water resistant (NOT waterproof), but with smaller digits in the display, that have to be read vertical. On the EC-3 the numbers are displayed along the meter.
