Description

The Apera Instruments PC60 Multi-parameter Tester simply tests pH, EC (conductivity), TDS (ppm), salinity (ppt) &temperature in a highly quick & professional manner for all kinds of general water solutions such as hydroponics, horticulture, aquaculture, pools& spas, drinking water, water treatment, cooling towers, environmental monitoring, education, etc. The multi-parameter probe is replaceable and easy to install. 1 to 3 points of Auto Calibration and 0 to 50˚C Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC), 0. 01 pH, 1% F. S, 0. 5˚C accuracy with -2. 00 to 16. 00 pH & 0 to 20. 00 mS/cm measuring range, auto recognition and reminders of stable values improves consistency, saving you the trouble of guessing when to manually hold measurement (auto. hold function available). Easy menu setting, customizing your tester’s functions according to your needs. Smart self-diagnosis, warning of out-of-range measurement and incorrect calibrations. IP67 waterproof and dustproof, floating on water so you don’t have to worry if it falls into water by accident. Up to 1000 hours' continuous operation (without backlit) powered by AAA batteries (with low power warning and auto power off in 8 min if no operation)es with a complete kit of premixed calibration solutions (4. 00 and 7. 00), soaking solutions (3M KCL), calibration bottles, AAA batteries, and a lanyard all in a portable carrying case. The meter is CE certified and comes with a 2-YEAR (6 months for the probe). NOTES: The instrument will NOT perform well for distilled or deionized water's pH measurement ( works well for conductivity). This is because distilled and deionized water do not have enough ions present for the electrode to function properly in pH measurement. To measure distilled or deionized water’s pH, users need to use a specialized pH meter such as Apera SX811-PW. Do NOT store the probe in distilled water or deionized water because they will cause damage to the glass membrane of the pH probe. Only use distilled water for rinsing the probe. Refer instruction manual before use.

Was on the fence with this once because it’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad I pulled the trigger on it. Functionality, features, ease of use, and overall quality is outstanding!! Instructions were clear and easy to follow, easy to calibrate and set up for use, and the backlit screen makes it easy to read. Will need to use longer term to determine durability, but EVERY aspect of this device feels high quality and well-made. The case is nice and holds all the calibration components and gear, it has a nice pocket in the case the holds the certification and manuals… the manual itself is printed on good quality paper, is easy to understand and even comes with a laminated quick guide for basic use and calibration!! This thing wasn’t cheap but feels like great quality through and through; very happy with my purchase! ... show more

    • Great investment!
Style: PC60 5-in-1 Combo Meter Pattern Name: Tester Kit
I'm giving this 5 stars even though I had to return and replace the first one I bought. It worked great for about a week and a half. Then the blue backlight no longer worked and despite calibrating it multiple times, the PH of the water kept getting different readings that were too far apart (using the same glass of water and rinsing the probe in distilled water + drying it before testing again). I contacted Apera, outside of Amazon, to see if I should return it or if I was doing something wrong and they emailed me back the next day. Their suggestion was to return it because it was defective. That was great customer service. I requested a replacement through Amazon and they said it would take 4 days to get the new one. It got here 2 days later. We were very impressed and surprised. So far the new one is doing everything it is supposed to. It is easy to read, easy to adjust and the backlight is a nice added touch. Backlight: Blue is when you are measuring your water. Just so you can read it in the dark if you have to. You can go into setup to adjust if you want the backlight always on, always off or on for 1 minute when you press the power button. Green backlight is when you are calibrating the probe itself and will not come on any other time. The kit came with 4 and 7 calibration solution along with 2 other conductivity calibration solutions, a probe cap that can be used to store the probe in the storage solution (also included in the kit, but it's really tiny and goes fast), plus a lanyard. Be sure NOT to get the 2 black probes wet with the storage solution. Only the clear ball should be in the storage solution. We don't really use the lanyard...it just seems to get in the way for us. In the kit comes the instruction/owner's manual along with a laminated card that is a step by step guide to calibrating the probe. It's large and perfect when you are working around liquid. The Apera website has videos for you to watch if the instructions seem a bit confusing. If you are doing any type of hydroponic gardening, this is a great investment to have. It provides PH, Conductivity, TDS (ppm reading) and Salinity measurements. UPDATE: I accidentally ruined the probe by allowing the 3M KCI soaking dilution to touch the 2 black bars. BE SURE TO NEVER LET THE BLACK PROBES TOUCH THE KCI SOLUTION WHEN NOT IN ISE AND SOAKING. ONLY THE CLEAR GLOBE SHOULD BE IN THE SOLUTION. It took a while for it to fail, but it was not the fault of the product. I ordered a replacement probe from Amazon and it’s working like new. I put a piece of painters tape on the probe cap so I know how high the KCI solution can be withoufht touching the black bars. Easy to change out as well. ... show more

    • Apera PC60 and CalPod purchase
Style: PC60 5-in-1 Combo Meter Pattern Name: Tester Kit
I read a lot of reviews on a BUNCH of testing instruments and it's hard to wade through all the info and make a decision but the PC-60 got great reviews so I made the purchase. I'm sitting here going through the instruction and documents and am going to practice and get familiar with it before doing anything else. As with most high end gear, you better be doing some reading because some of the reviews said they were having issues with the unit not working but you could see that they didn't follow the documents provided and ended up ruining a perfectly good meter. The quality is excellent and came with everything to get your results. They were out of the CalPod's so I went to Apera's website and bought one. It's compact and really handy. I also bought a big supply of the calibrations/Storage Solutions to help me with bad well water, helping me keep an eye on my Spa and my Reverse Osmosis system so it will ge a bunch of use. I'll do another revies after I learn how to CORRECTLY use it but so far, I'm happy with the purchase. Fast shipping and good info. ... show more

    • Pleasantly relieved
Style: PC60 5-in-1 Combo Meter Pattern Name: Tester Kit
I was skeptical about ordering this item. I studied ph, tds, ec, salinity, ppm, USA vs NIST, atc, resolution, multiparameter meters,single performance meters, pen style, bench style, reviews, forums, meter cost/cost for replacement parts ,country of origin , brands/manufacturers, accessories etc for a freakin MONTH until i was frustrated and sick of getting nowhere. I Decided to try this one first and go on a try and return frenzy. I am pleasantly relieved that after becoming acclimated with it, I feel the $120 I spent was worth it. Got here fast, came in a nice case, every essential accessory, seems well made, clear instructions, but most importantly it worked...well. Was easy to calibrate, doesn't take forever to get to a stable reading, no screwing around with fluctuations and recalibration nightmares. I like it. Glad to have it. Would have gave it a 5star but I literally just got it so I don't know how long it will last and also the tds factor setting that no one talks about. It is a very confusing setting that has no answer. That is not Aperas fault for such a ridiculous industry "standard". One would have the same issue with most higher end meters. It would be so much easier if all meters only did ec, rather than tds/ppm that are based on variable tds conversion factors that are not given by the makers of things to be tested. ... show more

Like the accurate readings and the changeable batteries and probes, also love the case and vials for easy calibration and plenty of documentation. The calibration menu seemed a bit complex to navigate through at first compared to other meters I've used in the past but once I got started it went pretty quick, now I'm ready for my vegetables and herbs to grow healthily. ... show more
