Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi

Setting up and using this product in your hydroponic system is straightforward. Here’s a detailed guide to help you get started and make the most of this advanced monitoring tool.

Setting Up the Monitor

First, choose a convenient location to mount the unit. Ensure it is close to your reservoir but positioned to avoid direct water exposure. Use the included hardware to attach the monitor to a wall or support.

Connecting the Probes

Next, connect the measurement probes to the monitor. Insert the pH, conductivity, and temperature probes into your reservoir. The 2-metre probe cables provide flexibility in positioning, making it easy to reach your nutrient solution.

Powering the Device

Plug the unit into a power outlet using the interchangeable power plug. The monitor supports 110 – 240 VAC, so it works with most standard power supplies. Once powered, the monitor will start displaying real-time data on its backlit LED screen.

Configuring Wi-Fi and the Edenic App

To enable remote monitoring, connect the Guardian Monitor to your Wi-Fi network. Follow the instruction manual to connect the monitor to the Edenic app on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This app enables you to receive instant alerts and view historical data, providing a comprehensive overview of your hydroponic system.

Setting Parameter Ranges

Customise the high and low alarm settings for pH, conductivity, and temperature through the monitor or the Edenic app. These settings ensure you’re alerted whenever your nutrient solution’s parameters fall outside the optimal range. This proactive feature helps maintain ideal growing conditions.

Regular Maintenance

While the monitor requires minimal maintenance, it’s important to calibrate the pH probe regularly. This action ensures accurate readings. Use the Bluelab Probe Care Kit to clean, maintain, and calibrate the probes. No calibration is needed for conductivity and temperature, simplifying upkeep.

Monitoring Your System

With everything set up, you can now monitor your hydroponic system with ease. The Guardian Monitor displays real-time pH, conductivity, and temperature data on its large LED screen. When connected to the Edenic app, you can check these parameters from anywhere, anytime.

Responding to Alerts

If any parameter goes out of the desired range, you’ll receive an alert on your device through the Edenic app. This feature lets you take immediate corrective action, ensuring your plants remain healthy and thriving. The two-way communication function also enables you to update alarm settings remotely, adding convenience to your growing process.

How accurate is the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi?

The Bluelab Guardian Monitor is highly accurate, ensuring precise readings for pH, conductivity, and temperature. The pH probe requires regular calibration for optimal accuracy, but conductivity and temperature measurements are reliable without calibration. This level of precision helps maintain ideal growing conditions for your plants.

Can I monitor my hydroponic system remotely?

Yes, you can monitor your hydroponic system remotely using this product. With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and the Edenic app, you receive real-time data and instant alerts on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This feature allows you to keep an eye on your grow room from anywhere, providing peace of mind and convenience.

What maintenance does the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi require?

The Guardian Monitor requires minimal maintenance. The conductivity and temperature probes do not need calibration, but the pH probe should be calibrated regularly for accurate readings. Using the Bluelab Probe Care Kit, you can clean, maintain, and calibrate your probes to ensure optimal performance.

How does the alarm system work on the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi?

The alarm system on the Bluelab Guardian Monitor Wi-Fi is customisable and user-friendly. You can set high and low alarm thresholds for pH, conductivity, and temperature. When any parameter goes outside these ranges, the monitor alerts you visually on the LED screen and sends notifications through the Edenic app. This proactive feature helps you quickly address any issues, maintaining the best conditions for your plants.
