FAQ

• What if the temperature reading is high?

 

  Verify the remote sensor is not in a location with direct,  

  intense exposure to light.

• Do the humidity and temperature sensors need to 

  be calibrated

  No. The humidity and temperature sensors are digital and  

  do not require calibration.

Troubleshooting

• Why does the display read “Err SEn”?

 

  The remote sensor is not connected or not communicating  

  with the controller. Verify the cable is connected and the  

  remote sensor is powered.

• Why are the small error LEDs illuminated?

 

  The sensor or a connected device is malfunctioning. See  

  the “Error LEDs” section for more information.

• What if the CO2 timer is not keeping the correct time?

  

  The CR1220 3V lithium battery, located on the circuit board  

  connected to the inside of the front faceplate, may need to  

  be replaced. The battery has an average life of 5 years.

• Why isn’t the Controller powering the 

  connected devices? 

 

Reset the circuit breaker. Ensure the device to be controlled  

  is working correctly by plugging the device into a reliable  

  power source. Verify the Controller is being supplied the  

  correct voltage. If the problem persists, reduce the number  

  of connected devices or consider devices with reduced  

  amperage requirements.

Humidity Mode:

 To select between humidifying and 

dehumidifying modes, press the “Humidify/Dehumidify” 

button. The display will show the current setting, “rh_Incr” for 

humidifying and “rh_dEcr” for dehumidifying. Use the UP and 

DOWN arrow buttons to choose between modes. Press “Enter/

Reset” to accept the new setting. 

Humidity Deadband:

 To set the humidity deadband, press the 

“Deadband” button under “Humidity.” The display will show the 

current setting. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust 

the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting.

Min/Max Humidity:

 Press the “Min/Max Humidity” button to 

display the minimum and maximum recorded humidity values. 

Press the button again to cycle through the values. Press “Enter/

Reset” to reset a displayed value.

CO

2

 Mode:

 Press the “Mode” button to display the current 

setting. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select 

between daylock (“dAy_LOCk”) and dayfree (“dAy_FrEE”) 

modes. Daylock disables the CO

2

 output when the cooling output 

is activated. Select this mode when using exhaust fans to cool 

the growing area. Dayfree allows the CO

2

 and cooling outputs to 

be activated at the same time. Select this mode when using an 

air conditioner or to use the CO

2

 output as a standard daytime 

recycle timer.

CO

 On Duration:

 Press the “On Duration” button to display the 

current setting. The first two digits (hours) will blink. Use the UP 

and DOWN arrow buttons to set how many hours the CO

2

 output 

will be activated. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the setting. The 

middle two digits (minutes) will blink. Program how many minutes 

and seconds the CO

2

 output will be activated by following the 

steps used to program the hours.

 Off Duration:

 Press the “Off Duration” button and follow the 

steps under “CO

 On Duration” to set how long the CO

2

 output 

will be deactivated.

Locking Temperature/Humidity Functions

The temperature and humidity functions may be set to 

operate locked (“connECt”) or split (“SPLit”). Press “Temp/ 

Humidity Lock” to display the current setting. Use the UP and 

DOWN arrow buttons to select the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to 

accept the new setting.

• Select “connEct” if using only ventilating fans for cooling  

 

  and removing humidity. The fan will turn on when the sensor    

  detects an increase above the set-point in either humidity 

  or temperature.

• Select “SPLit” if using a ventilating fan or AC unit for 

  cooling and a dehumidifier for removing humidity. The 

  cooling device will turn on when the temperature rises  

 

  above the set-point, and the dehumidifier will turn on when    

  the humidity rises above the set-point.

• Select “SPLit” if using a fan or AC unit for cooling and a  

 

  humidifier for adding humidity. The cooling device will turn  

 

  on when the temperature rises above the set-point and the    

  humidifier will turn on when the humidity drops below the  

 

  set-point.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference 

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
