The Apera PCO60-Z (AI3803) is a Bluetooth-enabled handheld water-quality tester measuring seven parameters: pH, electrical conductivity (EC), ORP, TDS, salinity, resistivity, and temperature. Unlike the PC60-Z, this kit includes a dedicated ORP probe, allowing oxidation-reduction monitoring without purchasing an additional electrode. Bluetooth 5.0 connects the tester to the ZenTest app for guided calibration, cloud data logging, and measurement sharing. It also operates independently without a smartphone.
