6. Safety Notes 

Your safety is very important to us! To ensure correct and safe use of the product, 

please read this entire User Manual before using the CO2 controller. Otherwise, 

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. These warnings 

provide important safety information and should be observed at all times: 

1.

 

Do not subject the unit to impact or shock. This may decrease the sensor’s 

precision. 

2.

 

Do not place the unit or the power plug near a heat source. Heat can 

cause distortion of the unit, which may result in fire. 

3.

 

Do not open the CO2 Controller or touch any exposed electronic circuitry 

under any circumstances. This could result in electric shock. 

4.

 

Use the attached power adaptor and cord in a grounded plug only. 

Ungrounded power sources can cause serious damage to the product, or 

result in injury or death to the user. 

5.

 

Only connect devices to the controller that use grounded plugs. 

 

 

7. Installation Instructions

 

1.

 

Choose a suitable location at plant level to install the controller. Mount 

the controller securely using the 2 included screws. 

2.

 

Plug the piggyback plug into a 110-220 VAC (US only) grounded wall 

socket to power the controller. 

3.

 

Greenhouse Mode:

 Plug a CO2 generator or bottled CO2 control 

regulator into the piggyback plug. 

4.

 

Ventilation Mode:

 Plug an exhaust fan into the piggyback plug. 

Note: 

Electrical devices plugged into the piggyback plug must draw

 

less than 

5A at 110-250 VAC or less than 5A @ 30 VDC. 

 

8.

 

Changing Settings

 

The settings that can be changed are: Mode, Target, Calibration, Advanced 

and Reset Factory Defaults. Each is described below.

Changing the Mode

 

When the 

leaf icon

 is displayed, the controller is in 

Greenhouse

plug during 

daylight only.     

When the 

house icon

 is displayed, the controller is in 

Ventilation

 

Mode. 

This mode powers the piggyback plug when the CO2 level is above

 

the 

Target Hi and remains on until the CO2 level falls below the Target Lo level. In 
Ventilation Mode, the photo sensor is ignored. 

To change the Mode: 

 

1.

 

Press the SEL/ENT button 4 times The MODE icon will flash.
