Milwaukee Continuous EC Monitor – MC310

The MC310 continuous EC meter is a continuous EC meter with a visual alarm device (red LED) and a range of 0.0 to 10.0 mS/cm.

Features

• It is powered by a 12 VDC adapter (included) and comes with an EC probe (MA812D2) with a 2-metre cable
• The MC310 continuous EC meter features a visual alarm (red LED)
• Manual 2-point calibration
• This EC (electrical conductivity) meter can be hung on the wall with adhesive Velcro or with 2 screws
• Its screen is large and allows easy reading from a few metres away

This continuous EC meter is ideal for aquariums, hydroponic growing, fish farming and agriculture, among others.

It is recommended to fit the probe through a piece of cork or polystyrene and let it float in the tank (aquarium, fertiliser tank, ...)

Operation

• Plug the 12 VDC transformer into the mains
• Connect the electrode to the base of the meter
• Immerse the EC electrode (4 cm) in the liquid provided
• Switch on the meter by pressing the ON / OFF button
• Choose the EC control mode (for EC > set point: press “above” / for EC < set point: press “below”)
• Allow the reading to stabilise and the meter will start continuous monitoring
• A visual alarm indicates when the measurement exceeds the set point
• The set point can be selected by turning the central front knob to the desired value
• The selection scale ranges from 0.0 to 10.0 mS/cm

Calibration

• Clean the sensor with alcohol and let it dry
• Open an EC 1413 calibration liquid and immerse the sensor (make sure both metal poles are submerged)
• Wait a few seconds for the sensor to pick up the ambient temperature
• Adjust the SLOPE knob with the screwdriver provided until the display shows the calibration value in mS/cm
• The meter is calibrated and ready to measure.

It is advisable to calibrate the meter at least once a month, or after a long period of non-use or after replacing the lance.
