Place  the  probe  in  the  pH  4.0  solution,  and

agitate  for  10  seconds.    Let  stand  for  60 seconds.

Rotate  the  4.0  calibration  screw  counter clockwise

very  slowly  and  gently  until  the display increases to

4.0.

Repeat  steps  6  to  11  as  needed.  This  may  take

several  cycles,  especially  with  worn  or older

probes.

Nutrient Probe Calibration

 

What you will need:

1000ppm Calibration

Solution

Calibration Screw Driver

Two small, clean plastic cups

30 minutes

Clear Tap Water

What to do:

1.

Place all supplies on your calibration table, and let sit. All 

supplies MUST  be the  same  temperature  before  starting  to 

achieve  an accurate calibration. It is recommended to float 

the calibration solution bottle in your reservoir for five to ten 

minutes to reach the reservoir temperature.  This will allow for 

a more accurate calibration.

2.

Place  the  GrowBoss  on  a  level  surface  and  connect  all 

probes and power supply. Power on the GrowBoss.

3.

Pour some calibration solution into the cup. Use enough 

solution to completely cover the probe pins.

4.

Pour clear tap water into the second cup for rinsing the ppm 

probe.

5.

Place the probe in the EC/PPM solution and agitate for 10 

seconds. Let stand for two minutes.

6.

Set the scale factor on the meter to .5 via the push button 

selector. This is the NaCl scale.  

Rotate the PPM calibration 

screw counter clockwise very slowly

 until the display reads 

1000 ppm.

7.

Due to the sensitivity of the ppm probe, this process can take  

10 + minutes during initial setup, where fine tuning of the 

calibration trimpot may be necessary.  Turn the screw 

counterclockwise to increase the value.

8.

If you wish to calibrate to a different scale then choose your 

preferred setting and follow the above procedure.  Refer to 

the conversion graph on page 10.
