Feed & EC
EC readings do not match
First compare the test methods, then compare the numbers. A supplier’s extraction result and drainage from a fertigated crop describe different samples.

What should an EC alarm trigger in a cocopeat system?
An alarm should lead to verification and a defined operating response.

Why the root zone matters
Continuing an unverified feed programme can expose a coir crop to incorrect nutrient strength.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check the actual delivered solution with a verified instrument.
- Inspect source water, stock level and injector status.
- Follow the farm’s approved temporary irrigation plan while the cause is investigated.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What does verification show?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Delivered EC is abnormal
Stop the faulty dosing process and correct the identified cause before resuming.
Independent reading is normal
Inspect the control sensor and alarm configuration.
No reliable measurement is available
Escalate to the responsible operator and obtain a verified reading promptly.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Record the alarm time, affected zones, response and confirmation of recovery.
Keep in mind
Do not silence repeated alarms without identifying why they occur.
