The Apera PH60-Z (AI3711) is a Bluetooth-enabled handheld pH tester designed for commercial cultivation and nutrient-solution monitoring. Its replaceable PH60-DE double-junction glass electrode offers improved resistance to contamination from nutrient-rich solutions and coco runoff. Bluetooth 5.0 connects the meter to the ZenTest app for guided calibration, cloud data logging, asset tagging, and measurement sharing. It also operates independently without a smartphone.
