The nutrient solution can now adjusted to bring it to the correct strength by adding more nutrient or by diluting with water as necessary. Always rinse the probes with fresh water after every use and clean them once a week with an appropriate cleaner such as the Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaning Kit to maintain accuracy, reliability and probe-life. The Bluelab Truncheon is the most popular nutrient meter on the market, having proven itself indispensable to hydroponic enthusiasts everywhere. The Bluelab nutrient Truncheon is very easy to use, all you do is place the probe head in the solution and the truncheon lights up to show your nutrient strength in EC or PPM. The Bluelab Nutrient Truncheon may seem a bit expensive but you're paying for the bullet-proof reliability that Bluelabs provide, they have so much confidence in the quality of their product that they offer a 5-year guarantee. Bluelab Truncheon Nutrient Meter: Your Key to Nutrient Optimization Why Measure Conductivity? Fueling Plant Growth

The Truncheon will not turn on if the conductivity of the solution is not higher than 0.2EC. Add more nutrients to your solution and re-test.

Place 1 or 2 drops of Conductivity Probe Cleaner on the probe face. Rub firmly with a Bluelab Chamois. 3: Rinse the probe face

If the Truncheon fails to illuminate any LEDs when immersed in solution, the batteries should be changed. The measurement of your nutrient solution is key if you want to get the best results. When you add nutrients to your water you increase the conductivity; the potential for electricity to move through the solution. By measuring this we can therefore get a clearer picture of concentration of the solution and tailor this to the plants requirements or accurately follow a nutrient schedules recommendations. Growers everywhere regard the Bluelab Truncheon CF/EC/PPM as the best nutrient strength meter you can get. The Bluelab V2 Truncheon measures the electrical conductivity of your nutrient solution via electrodes on the bottom end. The Bluelab V2 Truncheon then displays the measurement on a row of LED's calibrated in all the popular scales (CF, EC and PPM). The electrodes are very high quality and will last a long time and are protected by a slotted plastic shroud. For all Bluelab conductivity probes and the Bluelab Commercial Trun cheon, warm the shroud in your hand for a few seconds to help with removal. Hold the body and gently pull the shroud off. 2: Clean probe face The Bluelab Truncheon CF/EC/PPM Meter'stough, completely waterproof and famously reliable, making it the favourite nutrient strength meter of growers for years. The Bluelab Truncheon gives you an easy to read, incredibly accurate view of your nutrient strength, so you can make sure your plants are getting exactly what they need, taking you from hobbist to professional. It's no wonder that most growers choose to use a Bluelab Truncheon. How the Bluelab V2 Truncheon CF/EC/PPM Meter works:

Bluelab E.C. Truncheon the go to electrical conductivity meter for the professional hydroponic grower and hobbyist alike. Bluelabs reputation for quality precision measurement instruments for horticulture is well known and respected. Bluelab are renowned for producing the most accurate and reliable measuring devices.

The display LED's are a bright blue which makes them easy to read, even in daylight. The Bluelab V2 Truncheon automatically switches itself on when dipped into liquid and switches itself off when it is removed from the liquid to save battery-life. The Bluelab V2 Truncheon is pre-calibrated at the factory and has temperature compensation to ensure accuracy. The whole Truncheon is made of a super-tough, waterproof plastic and it's shape means that it can even be used to stir your nutrient solution with. Very highly recommended. There should be no beads of water on the probe face. If beading is present repeat steps 2and 3. 5: Refit the shroud and test The Bluelab Truncheon has continued to prove itself as the best nutrient meter on the market. This ultra tough device is built to last a lifetime. It can measure your conductivity in a range of easy-to-read formats. It's 'long' design is perfect for stirring nutrient tanks with, plus its fully waterproof incase it ends up in one! The Bluelab Truncheon measures the electrical conductivity of your nutrient solution through electrodes on the bottom end. The electrode reads the water, compensates for the water temperature (very important for an accurate reading), then the measurement is displayed in a simple, easy to read format via the row of LED’s along the shaft. The Truncheon displays readings in every form of measurement; EC, CF, PPM and TDS.The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Leidinn Group Pty Ltd. The Truncheon is very robust and can withstand heavy use. It features an unbeatable 5 year warranty and requires no calibration, it will continually provide accurate readings time after time.
