The Bluelab Dosetronic® Controller

Optimise crop performance with consistent, accurate management of nutrient feeding by using the Bluelab Dosetronic - the simple solution for automatic hydroponic feeding systems.

The Bluelab Dosetronic keeps tight control of your vital nutrient solution levels automatically so you have the freedom to tend to the daily needs of your crop.

How does the Bluelab Dosetronic Controller work?

The Dosetronic provides continuous control of the desired levels of nutrient and temperature. All you do is program the required levels of conductivity, pH and temperature as the crop progresses through each growing phase. You retain control and the Dosetronic backs you up! This enables fast and accurate alterations to the feed system as the needs of the crop change.

The Dosetronic can be used for a wide range of applications including Hydroponics, Horticulture, Agriculture, Floriculture and Aquaculture and is ideally suited for re-circulating hydroponic NFT systems.

Automated and accurate nutrient control

The Dosetronic provides continuous control of conductivity and pH levels of a solution by adding fertiliser and pH corrector into your mixing tank via peristaltic pumps or solenoids.

Simply program the controller with the conductivity and pH values that you want your system to run at and tailor the dosing intervals to suit the size of your mixing tank. The Dosetronic will then take care of the hard work for you.

By using high performance conductivity and pH probes, the Dosetronic will intelligently control the strength of your re-circulating solution to a high level of accuracy. When it detects that the conductivity or pH levels have fallen outside of your pre-programmed set points, the Dosetronic will automatically trigger the dosing of more nutrient or pH corrector until those levels have stabilised.

The job of the Bluelab Dosetronic does not stop there. It will tirelessly control your system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year.

Solution or air temperature control

The innovative design of the Dosetronic means you can choose to control either the nutrient solution temperature, or the air temperature, depending on which is more critical to your growing environment.

All you do is select the heating or cooling equipment required to control the temperature of the air or solution, program in the temperature settings you require, and plug the equipment into the controller. You then place the temperature probe (supplied with the Dosetronic) where control is required.

The Dosetronic has proven itself in the hydroponic market worldwide for over 20 years and has earned itself an international reputation for excellence. This is why so many commercial growers are using the Bluelab Dosetronic to save time, money and improve accuracy.

It is one of the most simple, robust and reliable controllers in its class!

Main features

  • Simple, friendly user interface
  • Optional control functions - you can control one, two or all three parameters (pH, conductivity and temperature)
  • Individual High and Low alarm functions
  • Large easy to read displays with adjustable display brightness
  • All probes are removable / replaceable
  • Calibration “Quality” indicator for pH probe
  • Selectable values for conductivity and temperature
  • Selectable internal lockouts. E.g. Temperature high alarm can prevent nutrient dosing
  • Provision for External lockouts (both Normally Closed and Normally Open contact) E.g. a water flow switch can prevent all dosing action
  • Automatic safety lockouts built in – E.g. Prevents dosing of pH and nutrient solution if a fault is detected

Other features

  • Probe lead lengths are 2m/6ft
  • Able to calibrate conductivity but not required
  • Splash proof
  • International power supply for controller
  • ATC pH Probe supplied with Peridoser (optional with Solenoid kit)
  • Monitors and controls pH (raise OR lower)
  • Monitors and controls conductivity (raise only)
  • Monitors and controls temperature - either mains connected heating OR cooling equipment
  • Settings retained if power failure occurs
  • Can be placed into Monitor mode only with alarms enabled / disabled
  • Conductivity and pH can be dosed via Peristaltic pumps or Solenoids (or any user supplied equipment)
  • Choice of visual and/or audio alarm
  • Able to connect an external alarm device
  • Hysteresis: Settable on Temperature only – E.g. prevents damage to temperature from rapid on and off switching
  • Adjustable compressor lockout – E.g. prevents damage to equipment by ensuring an adequate start up delay
