MC311 EC Controller, Continuous Meter with Alarm

EC Controller, Continuous Electroconductivity Meter with Alarm for Hydroponics, Agriculture, and Automatic Nutrient Control

 

The MC311 EC controller is a continuous EC (Electrical Conductivity) meter in mS (millisiemens) with a visual alarm and a 220V coupling socket for connecting an external electrical device, like a dosing pump. This external equipment will activate when the controller detects that the EC level exceeds the setpoint (adjustable by a graduated knob), automatically injecting solutions, such as nutrients, into the tank. The EC MC311 controller is ideal for agriculture and hydroponics.

 

Product Applications

• Agriculture: Ensures precise nutrient conductivity control for high-yield crops.

• Hydroponics: Ideal for soilless systems that require constant nutrient monitoring.

• Aquaculture: Helps maintain optimal conditions in aquaculture systems, ensuring ideal water conditions for fish and other species.

Customer Benefits and Advantages Over Similar Products

Automatic EC Control: The MC311 activates an external device (such as a dosing pump) to automatically adjust EC levels, providing continuous care without manual intervention.

Visual Safety Alarms: Its red LED alerts the user to variations in EC levels, offering an immediate warning system.

Customizable Setpoint Configuration: Easily adjust the setpoint from 0.8 to 2.8 mS, adapting to various growing requirements.

Durability and Precision: With a high-quality probe and manual calibration, the MC311 ensures reliable readings and long-lasting use.

Easy Installation and Use: Designed for easy user installation and operation, saving time and simplifying the initial setup.

• Setpoint Adjustment Knob: Easily adjustable setpoint knob for EC levels from 0.8 to 2.8 mS.

• Visual Alarm: Red LED activated with external equipment to indicate EC variations.

Key Features List

• MA812/2 Probe: 2-meter cable for comfortable reach and secure immersion.

• 12 VDC Power Adapter: Includes adapter for easy electrical connection.

• EC1413uS Calibration Solution Packet: Included for initial device calibration.

• Activation Mode: Button to select BELOW position to activate the pump when EC is below the setpoint.

• Easy Calibration: Quick and accurate calibration, ideal for ensuring accuracy with each use.

Installation and Measurement Instructions

Connection: Connect the 12 VDC transformer and coupling socket to power. Then, connect the external device (such as a pump) to the coupling socket.

Preparation: Immerse the EC electrode in the tank or request a probe holder if you prefer pipe measurement.

Power On: Activate the controller by pressing the ON/OFF button and adjust the setpoint with the knob.

Calibration: Immerse the electrode in the EC1413uS calibration solution and adjust the reading to 1.4 with a screwdriver. Perform this calibration at least every two months or after long periods of inactivity.

With these features and benefits, the MC311 EC Controller from MILWAUKEE is an essential tool for ensuring the success of your crops, with technology that facilitates precise and constant monitoring of electrical conductivity.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need technical knowledge to use it?Not at all. The MC311 is very intuitive: just calibrate, set the knob, and let it work for you.

2. How often should I calibrate the meter?We recommend every 2 months or after long periods without use.

3. Can it be used for any crop?Yes, it’s ideal for hydroponics, aquaponics, and general agriculture where water nutrient control is needed.

4. How do I know when to adjust EC levels?The MC311 does it for you: when EC drops below the set point, it activates the dosing pump and lights up the visual alarm.

5. What do I need to get started?Everything you need is included: probe, adapter, calibration sachet, and manual.
