EC 1720 conductivity bench meter. The Eutech 1700
series meters are designed to provide the important
functions needed for routine measurements with simplified,
convenient, easy-to-use functionality.
The Eutech EC 1720 conductivity meters are capable of
measuring conductivity, salinity or total dissolved solids
(TDS) simultaneously with temperature. These meters offer
a large, backlit display for clear viewing with small footprint
to conserve laboratory bench space.
Ensure important data is preserved with a 500-point data
log with date/time stamp that can also be exported to a
printer or computer using the meter communication port.
All Eutech EC 1720 conductivity meters include a meter-
attached electrode holder and universal 100-240V 50/60
Hz power adapter with wall plugs for US/Japan, Euro,
UK/Singapore, Australia/New Zealand and China.
