15.0 Placement of the probes
The tip of the Bluelab pH Probe must be submerged in the liquid for a measurement to
occur. It is optional to use the Bluelab Temperature Probe, but required for automatic
temperature compensation (ATC) to occur, or to enable ‘Earthlink’.
• Do not pour concentrated nutrient solution or pH adjuster directly onto probes when
in the reservoir. Strong acids, alkali and nutrients damage the probes, trigger the
alarms (if on), cause the pump to accidentally dose or stop dosing, or interfer with
the control program.
• For accuracy, ensure the probes are in an area where the reservoir/tank solution is
well mixed.
• pH and temperature probes can be fully submerged in the solution.
Fit the (optional) pH probe holder to the stem of the
pH probe using a gentle twisting motion.
Place the pH probe into the reservoir/tank and push
the suction cup onto the side of the reservoir but far
enough down so the pH probe tip is always in the
solution. This prevents damage to the probe from any
movement in the reservoir/tank.
Place the temperature probe alongside the pH probe.
