Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller

In the exciting world of agriculture and hydroponics, precision is key to getting the best results in your crop. If you are an experienced grower, you surely know the importance of measuring and controlling the electrical conductivity (EC) of your nutrient solution. This is where the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller comes into play, offering a complete and convenient solution for monitoring and controlling the EC in your cultivation system. Continue reading to learn more about this EC meter before incorporating it into your cannabis cultivation kit.

What is the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller?

The Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller is a continuous EC (Electro Conductivity) meter in mS (millisiemens) with an additional feature: a visual alarm and a 220V coupling socket for external electrical equipment, such as a dosing pump. This device is activated when the controller meter reaches the reference value that you have previously set with the graduated wheel. This control function is essential in cultivation situations where a precise adjustment of the EC in the nutrient solution is needed, such as hydroponics. The Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller is an indispensable tool for any serious farmer in search of optimal results, as the meters for the parameters of cannabis cultivation are essential in this regard.

What is the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller like?

The Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller is compact and efficient, designed to simplify the measurement and control of the EC in your cultivation system. Its measurement scale ranges from 0.0 to 10.0 mS, allowing you a wide range of control. In addition, it has automatic temperature compensation to ensure accurate measurements in different environmental conditions. The MC311's control block has a wheel that allows you to easily adjust the reference value from 0.8 to 2.8 mS. When the meter activates the external equipment, a visual alarm in the form of a red LED also lights up. The included MA812/2 probe has a 2-meter cable to facilitate immersion in the nutrient solution tank or measurement in pipes. 

What is the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller used for?

The Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller is used to measure and control the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution in hydroponic and agricultural cultivation systems. This measurement is essential to ensure that the plants receive the correct amount of nutrients dissolved in the water, optimizing the growth and health of the plants. The MC311 is especially useful in automated systems where a precise adjustment of the EC is required, such as the dosing of nutrients by dosing pumps.

How is the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller used?

The installation and use of the Milwaukee MC311 EC Controller is simple. Connect the 12VDC transformer to the electrical current and plug the external electrical equipment, such as a dosing pump, into the coupling socket. Make sure the meter is calibrated before use. To measure the EC, immerse the electrode in the nutrient solution tank or in a pipe with a threaded probe holder. Turn on the meter by pressing the ON/OFF button and adjust the desired reference value using the control wheel. When the EC reaches or exceeds the set value, the external equipment is activated, and the visual alarm lights up to notify you. The meter is manually calibrated using an EC1413uS calibration liquid, and it is recommended to do so at least once every two months or after a prolonged period of non-use.
