The two aux settings can be used to control the heating systems and the humidifiers and dehumidifiers. The menu 

structure is as follows:

Pre-heat

The pre-heat function enables you to pre-heat a room before the lights come on. This is to useful

for preventing problems relating to condensation, etc.

You can read the room temperature (AT), relative humidity (RH%), plant temperature (PT), delta-T (DT) and the VPD value 

on the VPD display screen. You can switch between PT and DT by pressing the + and – keys in this screen. PT is the 

plant temperature measured with the plant temperature camera. Delta-T indicates the difference between AT and PT.

The difference between plant temperature and room temperature provides an indication of whether a plant vaporizes 

or not. VPD provides an indication about the vaporization pressure. A crop that vaporizes normally is ca. 2 degrees 

cooler than the room temperature. The vaporization pressure (VPD) is usually between 0.6 and 1.5 kPa.

Pressing the SET key on the VPD display screen will open the menu.

PT > AT Dim

PT>AT start dim

off

The crop does not vaporize adequately if the plant temperature is higher than the room temperature. The controller can 

intervene by dimming the lights and turning off the CO2 dosing. The difference in temperature can be set by pressing 

briefly on the SET key and using the + and – keys to fill in a value. A typical value is – for example, +2 degrees. The 

controller will intervene if the leaves of the crop are 2 degrees warmer than the room.

PT>AT shutdown

PT>AT shut down

off

The plant temperature will increase further if the controller has intervened but no measures are taken to restart the 

vaporization. The controller will then shut down the lights completely if the plant temperature rises. The difference in 

temperature in which the controller shuts down all lights can be set in the PT>AT shut-down option. A typical value in 

which the controller does this is u2 degrees higher than in PT>AT Dim (the4 degrees).
