  • Page 3: Introduction

    Leap™ Probe are used for the first time. ® IMPORTANT: The Bluelab® Leap™ pH Probe must be preconditioned to your intended grow media before calibration. The bridge between the glass tip of the probe and the body of the probe may change colour/look dirty (this is especially obvious with soils with higher clay contents).

  • Page 4: Calibration

    When calibrating the pH after first use the Bluelab Leap™ pH Probe needs to be ® cleaned. See Leap™ pH Probe cleaning in section 8.0. The Bluelab Leap™ pH Probe ® does not need to be cleaned for initial calibration unless you have pre-conditioned the probe in media.

  • Page 6: Information About Measuring The Ph Of Soils/Media

    4.0 Information about measuring the pH of soil/media pH is the measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration (H+) - acidity and its opposite, alkalinity. Neutral pH is 7.0 pH. Acidity measures below seven pH (7.0 pH) with alkalinity measuring above it (7.0 pH). See chart below. In soil or growing media, pH strongly influences the availability of nutrients to the plant and the presence of microorganisms in the soil.
  • Page 7 4.0 Information about measuring the pH of soil/media cont. Taking pH measurements of soil with an electronic meter is indicative rather than absolute. The following factors are outside the control of any Multimedia pH Meter, so to minimise their effect on the accuracy of the pH measurement you should consider the following precautions: Moisture level/raw water If the sample you are wishing to measure is dry, add RO water or distilled water to moisten.

    Once the Bluelab Multimedia pH Meter has been set up and calibrated, using it to measure ® a pH value involves using the Bluelab Leap™ pH Probe, the dibber/auger for coarse soil and ® button functions. NOTE: The pH probe tip must not have dried out. If it has dried, soak the Bluelab ®...

  • Page 9: Battery Replacement

    Batteries are replaced in the Bluelab Multimedia pH Meter when the low battery ® indicator appears on screen. The low battery indicator remains on and the Bluelab ® Multimedia pH Meter continues to operate until the batteries die or are replaced.

    Hydrating the Leap™ pH Probe Hydrate the Leap™ pH Probe in Bluelab pH Probe KCl Storage Solution when: ® • the probe tip has not always been stored in KCl storage solution, to improve the reading response speed. • the probe tip has been accidentally allowed to dry out Never use RO (Reverse Osmosis), Deionized or Distilled water.

  • Page 11: Error Messages

    An error message will only appear following pH calibration failure. ‘Err’ will be displayed for a few seconds then the display will show the previous reading. Successful pH calibration indicators will disappear. The Bluelab Multimedia pH Meter is in an uncalibrated state, therefore recalibration is required.
