RAPITEST Luster Leaf Digital 4-Way Analyzer 1885

Rapitest 1885 Digital 4-Way Analyzer in Sri Lanka

Digital Soil pH, Moisture, Temperature and Light Meter with Coil-Cord Probe

The Rapitest Luster Leaf Digital 4-Way Analyzer 1885 is a digital 4 in 1 soil tester that works as a soil moisture meter, pH meter, soil thermometer and light meter. Arrow buttons select the test, and a bimetallic probe on a flexible coil cord goes into the soil. It suits house plants, pots, lawns and garden beds. Browse our full range of soil testers in Sri Lanka.

Moisture is shown on a 1–9 scale of increasing wetness, matched to a watering table with guide numbers and check frequencies. Temperature can be switched between °C and °F by pressing both arrow buttons together. Light is read through a purple chromatic lens and multiplied by 1,000 to give foot-candles. For pH, push the probe 10–13 cm (4–5 in) into tamped, muddy soil and wait 60 seconds. This model does not measure NPK fertility. For that, consider the Rapitest 1860 electronic soil tester. It is for soil only, never liquids, and is garden-grade rather than laboratory equipment. Every unit is quality tested, comes with batteries included and carries a one-year warranty.
