Display and Keypad
The Eutech Expert CTS Pocket Tester features a large 4-digit, double-line display with a wide viewing angle, making measurements easy to read and record. It provides simultaneous display of conductivity/TDS/salinity with temperature. The display also includes clear indicators for battery life, readiness, and calibration, which simplify measurement and maintenance. The keypad is designed for easy operation with an intuitive user interface.
Cap Design
The tester's cap is gasketed and leak-proof, featuring an O-ring seal to prevent leaks during measurement and storage. It is transparent with a fill line indicator, which can be used for measurements and calibration, potentially eliminating the need for separate beakers or sample cups. The cap has a symmetrical design, allowing it to be faced either forward or backward, and it securely attaches to the top of the tester when not in use.
Additional Features
For enhanced portability, the tester includes a lanyard provision for easy transport during on-the-go measurements. Its wide, stable base allows the tester to stand independently and vertically for convenient measurements. To extend battery life, the device features an auto-off function that turns the tester off after 8.5 minutes of non-use. The unit is compliant with CE/RoHS markings and includes multi-language operational instructions. The body of the tester is made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, ensuring durability and chemical resistance. Battery replacement is also designed to be easy, requiring no special tools.
