English1.3 How the Bluelab Peripod works & installation exampleThe Bluelab Peripod is designed to be connected to a Bluelab Pro Controller with inlet tubesplaced into pH adjuster and nutrient stock solutions, and the outlet tubes placed into the reservoir.The Bluelab Peripod can be integrated into a variety of growing systems including but not limitedto recirculating and drain to waste systems. It is not designed for use as an inline doser.Installation examplepHNutrient ANutrient BRECOMMENDEDTo avoid precipitation of nutrients, tubesinto reservoir should be separated.Inlet dosingtubesOutlet dosingtubesseperatepHECAECBReservoir / tankpH adjuster and nutrient stock solutionsDosingThe Bluelab Peripod responds to electrical dosing 'triggers'received from the Bluelab Pro Controller, and pumps thepH adjuster and nutrient stock solutions into the reservoir asneeded through peristaltic pumps.Peristaltic pumps work by compressing a flexible tube betweenrollers and the inside wall of the pump housing. When theserollers are rotated, liquid is squeezed through the tube andpushed out of the pump outlet. At the same time, as therollers move past a section of tube, the tube opens, creating asuction that pulls liquid into the pump inlet for the next roller tosqueeze out of the outlet. Chemical resistant tube allows acidsand alkalis to be pumped direct from their containers, throughthe pumps, and into the nutrient reservoir.The amount of liquid that is pumped through a peristaltic pump can vary due to a number of factorsincluding: Age and condition of peristaltic tubing. Pump mounting height and tube length. Viscosity and specific gravity of the liquid being pumped. Environmental temperature.4To counteract these variations each EC peristaltic pump can be individually calibrated to helpensure the desired amount of solution is dosed relative to that being dosed by the other EC pumpin the Bluelab Peripod .

2.0 Safety PrecautionsEnglishIMPORTANTBEFORE installation and first use - read this section. To ensure safe setup and operation ofthe Bluelab Peripod follow all precautions in this manual. All the safety instructions and/orwarnings given throughout this manual relate to the specific features of the Bluelab Peripod .2.1 General safety precautionsFollow all generally accepted safety practices and procedures required when working with andaround electricity, including the following;WARNING This product is designed for pumping liquids only. Never use in or around flammable gases. Doing so creates risk of smoke, fire, or explosion. Never use a voltage that is different from that specified on the product. Do not touch the pump motor when removing it shortly after running. The motors get hotwhen operating and could cause serious burns. Never take the product apart or modify it except as described in this manual. Never leave any dangerous liquids inside the tubing when replacing or disconnecting tubing orpumps. Remaining dangerous liquids may cause serious injury. Always flush with water. Remove dangerous liquids from pumps and tubing when storing, or if product is not to beused for extended periods. Always flush tubing with water before changing from one dosing solution to another.CAUTION Peristaltic tubing can degrade in certain conditions of use. Always check for signs ofdegradation and leaks, and replace tubing as required to ensure safe operation.2.2 Chemical safety precautionsBluelab recommend that you DO NOT handle concentrated acids or alkalis, however if you do,ensure that ALL generally accepted safety practices and procedures required when working withacidic and alkaline solutions are followed.WARNING Follow all Manufacturer's storage, safety instructions and precautions when handlingchemicals. ALWAYS neutralise acids and alkalis before cleaning up a spill or disposing of them.5

3.0 Installing the Bluelab Peripod 3.1 Mounting the Bluelab Peripod English1Select a suitable location that is: Higher than both the reservoir and the pH and nutrientsolutions. This will avoid siphoning from one to theother in the event of peristaltic tube failure. NOT directly above the reservoir. This will avoidleaked solution entering the reservoir in the event ofperistaltic tube failure. Less than 1.5m from an electrical mains outlet. Less than 2m from the reservoir so that pump outlettubing can reach easily. Ideally less than 1.5m above pH adjuster and nutrientstock solutions. This will ensure pump suction isadequate to pump solutions. For heavy or viscoussolutions a lower mounting height may be required.CAUTIONMounting holes at bottom Direct sunlight may result in increased damageto tubing and plastic components of theBluelab Peripod .2Mounting holes at topRecommended mounting configuration:Attach to the wall by securing the screws through themounting holes in the top and bottom of the case. It isrecommended to place screws as indicated in the diagram.3.2 Setting up the inlet & outlet tubesStraighten the dosing tubes before connecting. Bend tube in the opposite direction to its curveand straighten by running through closed fingers.Each 4 metre / 13 foot length of tube requires cutting to be used as both inlet and outletdosing tubes with connectors. Before cutting, ensure there is enough length for each. Cut thetubing on a 45 angle. This is important to avoid the tube becoming blocked due to suction atthe bottom of the adjuster and nutrient solution bottles.CAUTION Ensure you use th
