Product Overview:
The Lutron PH-220S Electronic Soil pH Meter is a perfect device specifically designed for measuring pH in soil and other measurements requiring sample penetration, such as meats and cheddar. This handheld digital meter is manufactured by Lutron and is compliant with ISO-9001, CE, and IEC1010 standards, ensuring reliable performance. The meter utilizes a separate spear tip probe connected via a cable, which makes it easy for remote and general-purpose usage.
Specialized Features and Design:
The PH-220S is built with user convenience and durability in mind:
• Durable Penetration Probe: The included spear tip pH electrode (PE-06HD or PE-06HDA) features an exceptionally strong glass measuring lance securely packaged in a rugged, virtually unbreakable epoxy body. This robust construction makes it ideal for direct measurement of semi-solid substances.
• Auto Calibration: The meter supports auto-calibration at three key points: pH 4, pH 7, or pH 10.
• Ease of Use: Features include a data hold function to freeze the displayed reading value, and a built-in reverse display button that allows the user to easily reverse the display direction.
• Portability and Durability: The instrument is compact and lightweight. It features water resistance on the front panel and is rated IP-65. It also includes an auto power off function to conserve battery life.
• Remote Measurement: The separate soil pH electrode is connected via a 750mm (or 1000mm) cable, providing flexibility for general purpose use and remote measurement.
Applications:
The Lutron PH-220S Electronic Soil pH Meter is suitable for a wide range of professional, educational, and industrial environments:
• Agriculture
• Gardening and Horticulture
• Food Industrial/Mechanical (e.g., measuring pH in meats, cheese)
• Education (School, Colleges)
• Laboratory Analysis
• Industrial and Quality control
