PRODUCT CONTENTS SMART CONTROLLER (x1) WOOD SCREWS (WALL MOUNT) (x2) 8 SENSOR PROBE (x1) WOOD SCREWS (WALL HANG) (x2) MACHINE SCREWS (WALL MOUNT) (x2) WIRE TIE (x1)
POWERING AND SETUP STEP 1 Locate the Molex connector of your fan and plug it into the fan port at the bottom side of the controller. STEP 2 Locate the connector plug of the sensor probe and plug it into the sensor port at the bottom side of the controller. Keep the probe cord away from your HID* grow light ballast's power cord to ensure the controller properly detects climate conditions.
POWERING AND SETUP STEP 3 Position the corded sensor probe and secure it by using the included zip ties and tie mounts. STEP 4 Plug the fan's power cord into a wall outlet. The controller will receive power from the fan to operate.
DAISY CHAIN AND SETUP The fan controller can power up to two compatible fans to share the same programming. The compatible fans do not need to be the same model or part of the same product series. Please see page 4 for compatibility details. The controller receives power from the fans to operate, and only provides programming. Each linked fan will still require its own power source.
PROGRAMMING 1. MODE BUTTON 2. UP/DOWN BUTTONS 3. SETTING BUTTON Cycles through the controller’s available modes: OFF, ON, AUTO (4 triggers), TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE (On and Off), and SCHEDULE (On and Off). Adjusts the value of your current mode. The up button increases and down button decreases the setting. Hold both to reset values to OFF or 0. Cycles through the controller’s available settings: DISPLAY, °F/ °C, CLOCK, CALIB. T°/ H%, and TRANS. T°/ H%. 4. STATUS ICONS 5.
PROGRAMMING CONTROLLER MODES Pressing the mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes: OFF, ON, AUTO (4 triggers), TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE (On and Off), and SCHEDULE (On and Off). OFF MODE Your fan will not run while in this mode. The fan speed set while in this mode establishes the minimum speed in other modes. When the fan is triggered to turn OFF in all other modes, it will instead run at the speed set here.
PROGRAMMING AUTO MODE (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGER) Pressing the up or down button sets the low temperature trigger. The fans will activate if the probe’s reading meets or falls below this threshold. Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading rises above this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF mode.
PROGRAMMING AUTO MODE (LOW HUMIDITY TRIGGER) Pressing the up or down button sets the low humidity trigger. The fans will activate if the probe’s reading meets or falls below this threshold. Once triggered, the fan will gradually ramp up to the speed set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading rises above this trigger point, the fans will gradually slow down to a stop or at the speed set in OFF Mode.
PROGRAMMING TIMER TO OFF MODE Pressing the up or down button sets a countdown time. The fans will run at the speed set in ON Mode until the countdown ends. If there is a speed set in OFF Mode, the fans will run at that speed after the end of the countdown. The countdown will begin if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds. The time left on the countdown is displayed below the current fan speed. Leaving the timer mode while the countdown is running will pause it until you return to this mode.
PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE MODE (ON AND OFF) Sets an on clock-time and an off clock-time schedule for the fan to follow daily. Press the up or down button to first set up an on clock-time to trigger ON mode, then press the mode button to set an off clock-time to trigger OFF mode. Please be sure to set the current clock time under settings. TO ON When the fan is triggered to activate, it will run at the speed set in ON Mode. When the fan is triggered to deactivate, it will run at the speed set in OFF Mode.
PROGRAMMING CONTROLLER SETTINGS Pressing the setting button will cycle through the controller’s available settings: DISPLAY, °F/ °C, CLOCK, CALIB. T°, CALIB. H%, TRANS. T°, and TRANS. H%. DISPLAY SETTING Adjusts the display brightness and auto-dimming. Press the up or down button to cycle through levels 1, 2, 3, A2 and A3; 3 being the highest brightness setting, while 1 is the lowest. In settings 1, 2 and 3, the display will stay at that brightness level and will not automatically dim the display.
PROGRAMMING °F/°C SETTING Changes the displayed units to Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press the up or down button to cycle through F and C. All displayed units will automatically convert when adjusting this setting. CLOCK SETTING Adjusts the current clock time. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the time. Once you cycle through 12:00 each time, the units will automatically change to AM or PM. The clock time is located at the top right corner of the display.
PROGRAMMING CALIBRATION TEMPERATURE SETTING Adjusts the temperature reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 2°F (or 1°C) increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -8°F to 8°F (or -4°C to 4°C) and will be applied to the sensor probe’s measurements. CALIBRATION HUMIDITY SETTING Adjusts the relative humidity reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 1% increments.
PROGRAMMING TRANSITION TEMPERATURE SETTING Adjusts the transition threshold between the fan speeds in the AUTO Mode temperature triggers. Press the up or down button to cycle through 0°F to 8°F (0°C to 4°C) and set a transition threshold. The fan speed will be set one level above the OFF Mode speed when the sensor temperature first meets or exceeds the high temperature trigger.
PROGRAMMING TRANSITION HUMIDITY SETTING Adjusts the transition threshold between the fan speeds in the AUTO Mode humidity triggers. Press the up or down button to cycle through 0% to 8% to set a transition threshold. The fan speed will be set one level above the OFF Mode speed when the sensor humidity first meets or exceeds the high humidity trigger. For every transition threshold crossed, the fan speed will ramp up by one speed level, up until it reaches the speed set in ON Mode.
PROGRAMMING ALERT ICONS The alert icons are displayed at the top of the screen. Icons may flash when the controller signals an alert to notify you of any triggered function or alarm. ADVANCE PROGRAMMING Displays when an advance program set in the app is active. "ADV." will appear and override the controller if an automation program is in use. HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM Flashes and beeps with an alert if the temperature rises above the trigger point set in the app.
PROGRAMMING LOW HUMIDITY ALARM Flashes and beeps if the humidity falls below the trigger point set in the app. Continues to flash until the humidity rises above the trigger point. TIMER ALERT Flashes when a countdown has completed for TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE, or SCHEDULE Mode. BLUETOOTH Appears when the physical controller is connected to the app via Bluetooth. CHECK FAN ALERT Flashes when the fan's probe senses interference to its functioning. Check the fan for possible issues.
OTHER SETTINGS FACTORY RESET Holding the mode, up, and down buttons together for 5 seconds will reset your controller and restore factory settings. This HOLD + clears all user parameters in each controller mode and setting. CONTROLLER LOCK Holding the setting button will lock the controller in your current mode. While your controller is locked, no parameters may be adjusted, nor will you be able to switch modes. Holding the power button again will unlock the controller.
