TDS Meter and Digital Thermometer

A TDS Meter measures the amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in a solution.

Since dissolved ionized solids like salts and minerals contribute to the conductivity of a solution, a TDS meter measures the conductivity of the solution which is then converted to a TDS reading.

TDS is directly related to quality of water i.e., the lower a TDS figure, the more pure the water. As an example, reverse osmosis purified water will have a TDS between 0 and 10, whereas tap water will vary between 20 and 300.

The D-D TDS meter is supplied pre calibrated .

Measures TDS from 0-9999 ppm ( 0-1000 in increments of 1ppm, 1000-9999 in increments of 10ppm)

The moment the interface is connected, it will automatically be identified by the system “Plug & Play” as well as enable the relevant configuration menu.

The control unit is the heart of the “Aquarium Controller” system.
With this control unit the user can configure the settings of an aquarium and analyse data in a clear and intuitive way.
The screen makes programming and monitoring easy, and also makes it possible to set and display graphs.
The main feature of the control unit is its ability to be reprogrammed with a PC so that all of the functions currently available and those, which will be implemented in the future, can be updated.

With one single control unit the Aquarium Controller system currently features the following functions:

• Management of one or more aquariums
  It is possible to create a system consisting of one control unit and several Power Units (up to ten). This enables the user to manage several aquariums at the same time, even if they are very different from each other.
  
  
• Manual control of the plugs (from 6 to 60 sockets)
  The user can manually control each individual plug of the system. This makes it possible to do any kind of maintenance without having to physically disconnect the utilities.
  
  
• Multi-timer function on each plug (from 35 to 350 programmes)
  Through the Power Unit this function controls the automatic activation and deactivation of pumps, neon and incandescent lights, skimmers and any other equipment.
  
• Wave Effect
  This function alternately activates two or even three pumps in repeating cycles, and can also be programmed with an alternating pause if desired.
  
• Tide effect
  This function alternately activates two pumps with fixed cycles of 6.15 hours each (tide time).
  
• Summer function
  This function powers the heating cable underneath the gravel at intervals of 5 minutes/h during the periods in which it would normally not used (summer).
  
• Power Cut Controls
  This function records the duration of a power outage. If an outage lasts for more than an hour, the outputs selected during its programming will remain deactivated when the power returns.
  
• Acoustic and visual alarms
  It is possible to set one or more alarms to warn the user in the event of an anomaly.
  
  
• Electronic agenda to organise routine or special maintenance.
  This function allows the user to save reminders that can be repeated in cycles at any time; an acoustic and visual signal will be activated at the set time.
  
  
• Reading and monitoring parameters:
  temperature (with supplied sensor)- Level -
  pH- Redox – Fresh Water Conductivity and Marine Density
  This feature allows the user to measure and display (using the appropriate sensors and interfaces) the values of the Temperature, Level, pH, Redox, Freshwater Conductivity and Marine Density. Based on the values the user can modify the state of the plugs, by turning the connected utilities on or off.
  
  
  
• Automatic acknowledgement of devices connected (Plug & Play)
  This function automatically detects any original Aquatronica accessory connected to the system, and automatically enables the relevant menu.
  
  
• PC connection
  This function allows the user connect the system to a PC, which makes the setting programs faster and easier. With this interface the user can back-up the data recorded by the system for future analysis.
  
  
• Reprogrammable software
  This makes it possible to continuously update the software of the control unit, a feature which places this product above all other in its category: using a PC connection the user can update the controller with functions which were unavailable at the time of purchase, without having to replace any components in the system.

Control unit:
input voltage 12 V DC

The sera reference electrode and the O-rings for the reference electrode and the casing are available as spare parts. The sera test solution pH 6.9 is available separately.

Electronical precision instrument with digital display for permanently monitoring and controlling the pH value in fresh and saltwater aquariums. By means of controlled CO₂ supply, the seramic CO₂ Control System automatically maintains a stable pH value in the aquarium. The desired pH value can at any time be exactly adjusted. The seramic CO₂ Control System can be connected to all common pressure reducers, but not to flow regulators. The sera pH electrode, the sera test solutions (pH 7.0 and pH 9.2), sera cleaning solution and sera KCl care solution are available as refills (or spare part, respectively).

This meter  is used to precisely determine the conductivity in fresh, brackish and salt water.

In saltwater this conductivity meter indicates the salt content by means of conductivity several times more accurately than a laboratory aerometer.In these instruments a robust hard carbon electrode and a temperature probe have been combined to measuring and referance electrode.They are temperature compensated automatically.

The measuring instrument comes with two differant types of wall mount.The electrode comes with a universal holding device and thus solves almost all mounting problems.

Technical Tip

Follow the guidelines below for proper handling and storage of pH probes, which will not only help to prolong its life but will also ensure fast, accurate readings:-

• Probes should be rinsed between samples wih de-ionized or distilled water.

• Never wipe a probe to dry it as this can cause static to build up giving false readings

• Never store probes in water as this will make the probe slow to respond

• Always keep the tip of the probe moist, preferably by keeping it in a probe storage solution (4M KCl - potassium chloride). Alternatively a pH 4 buffer solution will work as a temporary measure.
