IntelliDose Intelligent Nutrient Control Print E-mail

ImageTake a leap into the future and unleash yourself from your reservoir!   The IntelliDose™ autodoser from Autogrow Systems® in New Zealand has arrived in the U.S. and is available through the doser experts, American Hydroponics.  Anyone who attended the Indoor Gardening Expo in San Francisco in August will remember this sophisticated controller!

Talk about easy! The era of hand-dosing seven days a week is over.  Whether you are beginning with a small hydroponic garden or making a living as a full scale hydroponic farmer, the IntelliDose™ takes care of your plants!  Imagine the possibilities!

Are you tired of fiddling with your pH daily? Tired of calibrating, testing and topping off to make it “just right”? With the IntelliDose™, those days are behind you. Simply calibrate the pH probe twice a month, designate your set point and the IntelliDose™ does the rest. Your plants will love you for it! The IntelliDose™ will run pH Up or pH Down for even better accuracy. The pH range is 2.0 to 12.0.

Now, for the most exciting part! For the first time ever you can control the unit with your PC. You can easily install software on your computer and connect the IntelliDose™ through a USB cable (all supplied). Once connected, you can run the AutoSet Wizard™ and your system’s dosing times, intervals and necessary levels will be programmed for you. If you like to have more control, you can manually set up the IntelliDose™ via PC or on the monitor itself.

Features

  • IntelliDose™ controls your nutrient and pH levels for you, on demand. 
  • Doses up to an eight-part nutrient recipe, with the ability to program adjustable ratios for each of the parts.
  • As plants consume nutrients, NutriDose compensates by adding more nutrient concentrate.
  • As water levels decrease, NutriDose can balance the ion ratios in your reservoir by adding water (with installed float valve).
  • Measures in 3 scales, CF, EC or PPM, and can measure from .1 to 99.9 CF / 0-4999 PPM.
  • Constantly measures pH and adjusts accordingly, either up or down.
  • Quick and easy pH and Conductivity calibration helps ensure proper measurements.
  • Monitor and control the IntelliDose using your PC or laptop (certain requirements apply) with the supplied USB cable and software.
  • On-screen displays make your PC or laptop an incredibly informative console for control of your NutriDose and nutrient tank.
  • Utilize the data logging feature to track the nutrient uptake, pH fluctuations and temperature changes
  • Set the alarm for a phone alert via PC modem if something goes wrong
  • Designate different ratios of your A, B and C nutrients for exact measurements
  • Automatically adjust your nutrient levels between day and night

Options and Accessories

Ordering an IntelliDose? Make sure you have everything
you need…

IntelliDose Complete comes with the following:
IntelliDose Controller
Sample Pot
pH Probe
PPM Probe
Power Supply
USB Cable (15‘)
Instruction Booklet
Software
All mounting hardware and necessary tubing and
fittings

Do you need Solenoids or Peristaltic Pumps ?

Solenoids are gravity fed, meaning you mount the stock tanks on a shelf above the unit. Peristaltic Pumps do not need to be gravity fed, so your stock tanks can be on the floor, especially necessary if you have large stock tanks.

Do you need Stock Tank Kits or Tank Fitting Kits ?

Our Stock Tank Kits come with a bucket, lid, tank fitting and tubing. If you have your own buckets and tubing, a Tank Fitting Kit is all you need. You will need one Stock Tank Kit or one Tank Fitting Kit for each nutrient and/or pH solution.

Do you need a Twin Relay Box ?

If you would like to use the irrigation feature of the IntelliDose, whether to run your system pump or to run a pump to empty your reservoir, you will need a Twin Relay Box.
