Page 5: Important - Bluelab Ph Probe Care
IMPORTANT - Bluelab pH Probe care The Bluelab pH Probe is the only part of the Bluelab Guardian Monitor that should ever require replacing. pH probes DO NOT last forever. They age through normal use and will eventually fail. The life time of a pH probe depends on the environment it is used in and the way that it is treated. -

3 LEDs next to the conductivity window. When the EC/CF LED is on, the Guardian Monitor is displaying conductivity in units of EC or CF. If there is a decimal point present in the conductivity display, the units are EC. If there is no decimal point the units are CF. -
Page 8: Ph Calibration
If a reading below pH 7.0 is expected, use pH 7.0 and pH 4.0 calibration solutions. If a reading above pH 7.0 is expected, use pH 7.0 and pH 10.0 calibration solutions.

Page 10: Placement Of Probes
4/10 was never calibrated. 11.0 Placement of probes Both the Bluelab pH Probe and Bluelab Conductivity/Temperature Probe require submersion in the liquid for a measurement to occur. • 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 your alarms (if set) may trigger. -
Page 11: Set Alarms (Optional)
12.0 Set alarms (optional) The alarm function warns you when the solution deviates from the desired levels you have chosen for each measurement. When an alarm condition is present, the display of the affected measurement will flash. If the measurement changes back to within the limits you have chosen, the flashing will stop. - Page 12 Set the low alarm values the same way as you did the high alarms. Press the alarm button. SAVE is briefly displayed in the conductivity window and the Guardian Monitor will return to its normal monitoring mode. NOTES: To review current alarm settings without changing the values, repeatedly press the alarm button to step through the high and low alarms.

Page 13: Cleaning The Conductivity/Temperature Probe
Cleaning the Bluelab Conductivity/Temperature Probe Cleaning the conductivity/temperature probe periodically ensures accurate readings. The conductivity/temperature probe is cleaned using the Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaner, or “Jif” a trade name for a liquid scourer cream used in home bathrooms and kitchens. Similar products are called “Liquid Vim”, “Soft Scrub”, “Cif cream”, or “Viss”. -
