IMPORTANT

As the AIM sends the signal to your 3rd party controller, the signal is converted from digital to analog and then back to digital. This process will result in an unavoidable discrepancy between the KH Monitor’s digital reading and the 3rd party Aquarium Controller.  Typically, this discrepancy is around or less than 0.05dKH.
