About TPS Instruments

TPS has been a leading quality manufacturer of scientific meters and probes certified under the AS/NZS ISO 9001 standard.

The Instrument Choice Scientists have prepared below an introductory snapshot of selected water quality meters. (For more information, browse the complete TPS range or contact us!)

AQUA Series

TPS’ AQUA series of portable testers have noteworthy advanced design characteristics for water quality testing applications. Key features include:

1. Waterproof: The AQUA series enclosure and connectors are waterproof rated to IP65.
2. Microprocessor-based: TPS’ AQUA series utilises the latest microprocessor technologies for excellent long-term reliability.
3. One-touch Calibration: Place the sensor in a standard solution and press “calibrate” – simple! After completing your calibration, you receive notification of your sensor’s current condition.
4. User-Friendly: Complicated interfaces are a thing of the past. The AQUA series provide an intuitive menu with plain text prompts and easy-to-understand error messages.
5. Multiple Display Options: On multiparameter units, users can select the parameters they see on the LCD.

AQUA Series Product Example

AQUA-CPA Conductivity-TDS-pH-Temp Meter with 1m pH & Cond sensors k=1
Product code: AQUACPA1-1211351

The Aqua-CPA is a splashproof, all-in-one meter that accurately measures conductivity, TDS, pH and temperature. Multiple conductivity and TDS ranges make it suitable for most lab and field applications. (Also available with a 3m and 5m cable).

Specifications:

Also available in the AQUA Range:

1. Aqua-P (pH/mV, temperature) (1m, 3m and 5m)
2. AQUA-C (Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, Temperature)
3. AQUA-DP (Dissolved Oxygen, pH/mV, temperature)
4. AQUA-DY (Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature)

WP Series

Professional and adaptable, the WP series of portable scientific meters is suitable for laboratory, field, and industrial environments. Outstanding features of the WP series include:

1. Waterproof: The WP series enclosure is waterproof to an IP67 rating, the connectors to IP65. The case, keypad and connectors are designed for maximum durability in the harshest conditions.
2. Good Laboratory Practice: To comply with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards, the WP Series store the “Date”, “Time”, and the results of your last calibration. All GLP information is readily retrievable.
3. Calendar Clock: You can display the calendar clock together with your data on the measurement screen. Date and Time are recorded along with your measurements when you use the automatic data logging function or notepad.
4. Practical and User-Friendly: WP series meters feature a 32 character alphanumeric display with an easy-to-navigate menu system. The WP series guides you through the menu operation with full-text prompting and error messaging.
5. Notepad: This function allows you to record “Time” and date-stamped measurements into memory. The device can store up to 3600 records (2600 for the WP80M).
6. Automatic Datalogging: Set up automatic Time and date-stamped data logging at automatic logging intervals between 1-90 seconds, 1-90 minutes or 1 to 24 hours.
7. RS232 Serial Port: The WP series provides an RS232 port as standard. You can choose to download readings saved in the memory directly to a PC or log immediately to a printer or PC. (WinTPS and RS232 cable sold separately).
8. Rechargeable: The WP series comes standard with an internal rechargeable NiMH battery and charger.

WP Series Product Example

 WP-81 pH-Wide-Range Conductivity/TDS/ATC/Temp meter with 1m pH & Cond sensor
Product code: WP811-1211321

The WP-81 measures pH, conductivity, TDS, salinity, temperature and has the option for ORP (sold separately).

The multiparameter meter has a durable design for the harshest conditions, including a rugged IP67 enclosure and IP65 connectors. Also available with 3m and 5m conductivity and pH sensors.

Other Portable (WP) series Waterproof Meters;

1. WP-80D (Dual pH/mV, Temperature, ORP optional) Available with 1m, 3m and 5m sensor cable lengths
2. WP-84 (Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, Temperature)
3. WP-82Y (Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature) (Select 1m, 3m or 5m cable length)
4. WP-88 (Turbidity, Temperature) (Select 1m, 3m or 5m cable length)
5. WP-90 (Specific Ion (Bromide, Chloride, Cyanide, Fluoride, Iodide and Sulphide/Sliver), pH, mV, Temperature, ORP optional)
6. WP-91 (Dissolved oxygen, pH/mV, Temperature, ORP optional) (Available with 1m, 3m or 5m cable length)

Cube Benchtop Meter

TPS benchtop meters are light and compact to make the most efficient use of your work area. We recommend the pH cube for use in universities, quality assurance, and educational teaching laboratories. Features include:

1. Tough: The pH Cube enclosure is 1.0mm powder-coated steel, and the epoxy-based powder coating is resistant to most chemicals. This device will withstand the roughest treatment in any laboratory.
2. Compact: Sympathetic to the battle for laboratory bench space, the pH cube has an incredibly small footprint of only 123 x 123 x 123mm – making it one of the most compact bench units available.
3. Display: The bright LED display has 12.7mm digits, and with a front panel angle of 60 degrees - the display is easily readable from a distance of several meters. 
4. Manual Controls: The pH cube features traditional manual controls rather than a push-button microprocessor design.

Cube Benchtop Meter Product Example

pH Cube pH-mV-Temp Meter with pH & Temp sensors
Product code: CUBE-121122/BLU

The benchtop pH cube precisely measures pH, temperature and mV. The pH cube’s kit has all tools required to start measuring pH, including a sturdy rod and clamp probe holder. The compact size, accuracy and straightforward operation make it an attractive instrument for any laboratory.
