PHOENIX Instrument Tester EC-15
The PHOENIX Instrument Tester EC-15 is a highly accurate, versatile measuring device designed specifically for laboratory and industrial applications. Its main use is in the precise measurement of pH values, conductivity, TDS (total dissolved solids) and temperature of various liquids. Its robust design, exceptional measurement accuracy and multi-stage calibration option make this device the preferred choice over conventional laboratory measuring instruments - ideal when reliability and versatility are required in everyday work. Versatile measurement technology for demanding applications
The Instrument Tester EC-15 sets new standards in the analysis of samples in laboratories, food production, environmental testing facilities, the pharmaceutical industry and the chemical industry. With its ability to accurately measure pH values in the wide range from -2 to 16 with a resolution of 0.01, it meets the highest standards of accuracy. Particularly noteworthy is the simultaneous conductivity measurement in ranges from 0 to 20 mS (millisiemens), which allows the EC-15 tester to directly measure not only pH, but also ion-specific and total dissolved solids (TDS) values. Key features:
pH measuring range: -2 to 16 with an accuracy of 0.01 for precise analyses
Conductivity measurement: 0 to 200 µS, 0 to 2000 µS, 0 to 20 mS (measuring accuracy: 1% of the measured value)
TDS measuring range: 0.1 ppm to 10 ppt, relative accuracy ±1% of the measuring range
Calibration: 1 to 3 calibration points - easy adjustment to specific measuring tasks
Temperature measurement: 0 to 50 °C (accuracy 0.1 °C), for temperature-corrected analyses
Robust, compact housing: 35 x 175 mm; weight 130 g - ideal for mobile and stationary use
Electrode status display & stability indicator: Optimum operational safety and reliable results The device enables automatic detection of the status of the electrodes used and displays stabilised measured values clearly and unambiguously. Compatibility with most standardised pH and conductivity electrodes ensures flexibility in everyday laboratory work. The advanced calibration function allows the user to choose between one, two or three calibration points, resulting in precision tailored to the individual application. In addition to state-of-the-art sensor technology, user-friendly menu navigation and a clear display ensure high user-friendliness. Even with changing personnel or frequent use, this guarantees reliable measurement results and minimises measurement errors.
Certified and compliant laboratory technology
The EC-15 tester bears the CE mark and thus meets the basic European requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. In addition, the device complies with internationally recognised ISO standards for quality management systems, ensuring reliability and durability. The EC-15 is particularly suitable for laboratories that are ISO or GMP certified, as the measuring device supports these standards.
