pentype ph soil tester probe meter
1. Introduction
Soil pH is an important factor in crop planting. Suitable pH in soil is the basic requirement for plant well-growing. PH meter soil tester can be used to test pH and moisture in soil. It’s portable, easy to use, and can be directly inserted into the soil.
2. Technical parameter
PH range: 3-8 pH, PH accuracy: ±0.2pH, Resolution: 0.2pH
Moisture range: 10-80%,
Working condition: 5—50°C(41—122°F)
Calibration:

4. Operation
1. Remove coverings such as stones, grass and leaves on the surface of soil. And remove the surface soil. If it’s too dry, add some water first. After 25~30 minutes, do measurement.
2. Before measuring, please use a piece of soft cloth to clean the metal surface of the probe. If the instrument is used at the first time, you’d better measure for several times, after that, read the value, which in order to avoid the influence on pH value and moisture value made by the protective oil layer of metal surface.
3. When measuring, insert the probe of the ph soil tester into the soil. Pay attention, the probe should be completely inserted to the soil and make sure the probe and soil around contacted closely. In order to measure the soil pH value and moisture value accurately, the probe should be inserted in the soil for about 10 minutes. As nature of soil is different, the tightness of contact between probe and soil is also different. Thus, you’d better measure for several times and finally take the average value.
4. Press white button can measure the moisture range of the soil.
5. After using, please clean the probe.
5. Attentions
(1). Before testing, scarify the soil, as hard soil will damage the ph soil tester.
(2). Do not keep the probe inserted in the soil for a long time (no more than an hour), otherwise the metal surface of the probe will be easily damaged.
(3). After using, please clean the soil ph sensor.
(4). Keep the ph soil tester away from objects with magnetism, and do not mix with other metal objects. Therefore, in order to avoid damage of the instrument.
(5). Can’t be used in liquid test, any liquid coming into the meter will damage the circuit.
(6). Don't use fingers to touch the probe, as grease on the finger may affect the conductivity of the probe between electrodes, which may lead to inaccurate measurement data.
(7). If the probe is loose, tight it by rotating clockwisely.
