3.0 Installing the Bluelab Pro Controller
3.1 Mounting the Bluelab Pro Controller
lect a suitable location for the Pro
Controller:
So, the probes can comfortably
reach the tank/reservoir or sample
pot and be always immersed in
solution.
Near an electrical mains outlet.
Within Wi-Fi range.
At a suitable height to see the
display and for easy operation.
Position the Pro Controller away
from direct sunlight and risk of
water, nutrient or pH adjuster
damage.
Fix the fasteners through the desired
mounting holes in the top and bottom
of the case.
3.2 Placement of probes
submerged in the solution for measurement.
The Bluelab conductivity probe measures solution temperature and provides
automatic temperature compensation for the pH measurement. The temperature
displayed on and controlled by the Pro Controller is the temperature measured by
the Bluelab Temperature probe.
Do not pour concentrated nutrient solution or pH adjuster directly onto probes
when in the reservoir, as very strong acid may damage the probes or trigger
alarms.
For accuracy, ensure the conductivity and pH probes are in an area where the
reservoir/tank solution is well mixed or in a sample pot.
If the Pro Controller is used to control solution temperature, the temperature
probe should also be placed in the reservoir or sample pot. If used to control air
temperature, it should be placed in an appropriate position outside the reservoir.
Remove the storage cap from the pH probe by
gripping the top of the cap and gently twisting
the base one rotation to loosen. Slide the
storage cap off the pH probe.
