CMP 6050 RETROFIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
iii.
Chambers with light control will require a new light sensor for proper operation. To install the
new light sensor assembly:
a. Remove existing light sensor (if applicable)
b. Determine the location of the new light sensor in the chamber. The new light sensor
assembly comes with a 48” pilaster and support arm (Figure 17). The distance from the
sensor to the light canopy can be adjusted such that the position of the sensor
consistently reflects the height of plants in the chamber. To install the pilaster:
• Determine wall location: the pilaster should be installed on either of the two
longer walls in the chamber. The distance from the corner should be one third of
the total interior length of the wall on which it is being installed (e.g. in a 6’ long
chamber the pilaster should be installed 2’ in from any of the four corners on
either of the two 6’ walls). If installing in a larger walk-in room, consult Conviron
for assistance.
• Determine height: the pilaster should be installed with its bottom edge
corresponding to the lowest point at which plants will be growing. This allows
the light sensor to be adjusted to match plant canopy height throughout the
plant growth cycle.
c. If drilling through a wall in the control panel is necessary, ensure
that:
• There are no objects that could be damaged by the 1/4”
drill bit
• The location for the hole is such that sensor wires will not
be in the way of moving canopies/shelving
• Supplied 1/4” grommets (Figure 18) are installed to
prevent damage to sensor cables.
