5. Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these steps for accurate bulk EC measurement using your HI98331 Direct Soil EC Meter:

1. Prepare the Testing Location: Select the specific area in the soil where you wish to take a measurement.
2. Netegeu la sonda: Rinse the testing probe thoroughly with deionized water. Gently wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Moisten the Soil: Ensure the soil in the testing area is adequately moist. Dry soil will not yield accurate readings.
