2.6 Electrode Information 

The Eutech EC 1720 conductivity meter is compatible with 
2-cell and 4-cell conductivity electrodes with a DIN 
connector. The Eutech EC 1720 conductivity meter can be 
purchased in a meter only configuration (purchase 
electrode separately) or kitted with a conductivity 
electrode.  

Refer to the electrode instructions for specific care and 
maintenance procedures. The following are general 
recommendations for electrode preparation.  

 

Remove the packaging from the electrode and save 
for storage.  

 

Rinse the electrode using distilled water. 

 

Connect the electrode to the meter. 

The Eutech conductivity electrode included with the Eutech 
EC 1720 conductivity meter kit has a nominal cell constant 
of K = 1.0, built-in temperature sensor and 1 meter cable. 
The ULTEM body housing has good chemical resistant 
properties. The electrode design offers fast temperature 
response and reduces air entrapment, ensuring accurate, 
repeatable and stable readings. 

The wetted materials of the electrode include: 

 

Polyetherimide (ULTEM) – protective guard 

 

Polybutylterphalate (Valox) – electrode housing 

 

Stainless Steel (SS 304) – two bands 

The protective electrode guard can be removed 
temporarily for cleaning; however, it must be re-attached 

during measurement and calibration. Erroneous results will 
occur while the electrode guard is removed. 

Always immerse the electrode beyond upper steel band for 
best results. Use the fill line on the outside of the electrode 
guard for reference. 

2.7 Meter Startup 

Sequence 

When the meter is powered on, it displays a set of startup 
screens, starting with all segments lit screen, followed by 
the meter info screen and then the meter self-test screen.  

The meter info screen shows the meter model number and 
current software revision.  

After the meter info screen, the meter performs a series of 
internal self-tests to verify that the meter is operating 
correctly and then the self-test results are shown. 

Finally, the meter proceeds to the main measure mode.
