1112 - Wireless Conductivity Pack The range required is set in the Devices icon of the EasySense2 software Electrical conductivity is an inherent property of most materials. Electrons carry electric current in metal; in water electrical current is carried by charged ions. The conductivity of a solution is determined by the ability of a solution to conduct an electric current between two electrodes.
