YSI EC300A

A handheld conductivity meter that also reads salinity and TDS, for fresh, brackish and seawater.

Price range: $160.00 through $640.00 ex GST

Product Information

Key Features

  • Measures conductivity, TDS, salinity and temperature from one handheld instrument
  • Super-stable four-electrode conductivity cell on a rugged weighted probe built for real field use
  • Automatic temperature compensation, so readings are reported against a common reference rather than raw
  • IP67 waterproof housing with one-handed operation and a low-battery indicator
  • 500-hour battery life and automatic shutoff after 30 minutes of inactivity
  • Stores 50 data sets for later review; CE compliant with a 1-year instrument, electrode and cable warranty
  • Directly replaces the older EC300 (the EC300A is grey, the EC300 blue)
  • How to order: the meter and the cable are separate line items and you need both — choose the 1 m cable for tank-side and bench work or the 4 m for deeper tanks, raceways and ponds, and add the carry case if the meter travels between sites.
