To get acquainted with your new EcoLife PRO-2 nitrate meter’s internal design and rules of operation
(correct use, technical service, repair, storage and transportation) please read the supplied manual carefully.
EcoLife PRO-2 nitrate meter is a hand-held device, produced to measure the quantitative nitrate
content (rapid analysis) in fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and infant food. The device also can be used as
salimeter (TDS-meter) that measures the concentration of water-insoluble inorganic impurities (the salts of
different metals generally).
The nitrates are the nitric acid salts (NO3), contained in the soil and absorbed by the plants from the
soil. Thanks to their positive influence on the crops growth and fecundity, and the harvest ripening speed,
nitrates are widely spread in agriculture. When getting into human body, nitrites react with its microflora
and transform into nitrites (NO2). The nitrites are absorbed into the blood stream from the intestinal tract
and having aggregated with hematoglobulin form methylhemoglobin. Methylhemoglobin is a stable
chemical compound that doesn’t transport oxygen. It induces hypoxia, accumulation of lactic acid in tissues,
tissue intoxication and histolysis.
However most researchers today believe that the cancer is the main danger, especially the gastro-
intestinal cancer. With the nitrites, cancerigenic nitrate amides and amines can be synthesized from almost
any food both in stomach and intestinal tract.
Attention! Please note that the measuring results of the present device cannot replace chemical
analysis performed in a professional laboratory. The product is not intended for professional use in the field
of national metrological monitoring. The data measured by it cannot be used for making official reports on
the nitrate concentration in fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and infant food.
Attention! The device is intended to measure nitrates in fruits, vegetables, fresh meat and infant food
only. Sausage, ham and gammon, etc. contain chemical compounds used for smoking, coloration, etc. that
invalidates the measurement!
Attention! Manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in the list of testable foods without
previous notice!
Attention!
After storing the product in a cold place or transporting it in winter you should keep the
device at room temperature for 2 hours before operating.
Attention! Please request to perform functional testing before purchase. Also make sure that the
warranty sticker placed into the battery compartment is not damaged. Check the delivery set against article
1.3.1 of this manual. Ensure the warranty card is signed, dated and stamped.
Attention!
Read this manual carefully in order to use the product efficiently and safely for a long
time.
Follow the rules, restrictions and instructions contained in the manual to increase the lifespan of the
