FAQ
Q: What parameters can the A52 water quality testing pen measure?
It can measure TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), pH (acidity/alkalinity), EC (electrical conductivity), and temperature.
Q: How do I calibrate TDS/EC?
Calibrate using a 1413μs/cm standard solution.
Q: How do I calibrate pH?
Use 6.86, 4.00, and 9.18 standard solutions for 1-point, 2-point, or 3-point calibration.
Q: What is the difference between TDS and EC?
TDS represents the total amount of dissolved solids in water, measured in ppm; EC represents the electrical conductivity of water, measured in μs/cm. Both are used to reflect the ion content in water and usually have a corresponding relationship.
Q: How do I replace the batteries?
The device uses 3 LR44 button cells, 1.5V each. When battery power is low, open the battery compartment to replace them.
Q: Why does the testing pen auto power off?
The product automatically powers off after 5 minutes in standby to save battery power. Simply power it back on to continue use.
Q: What is the temperature measurement range?
0-60°C (32-140°F), supporting both Celsius and Fahrenheit display.
Q: What is the measurement accuracy?
TDS is ±2%, EC is ±2%, and temperature accuracy is ±0.5°C. pH accuracy is ±0.1 pH with 1-point calibration and ±0.05 pH with 2/3-point calibration.
