1. POWER CORD
Plug into normal 120V outlet. Your controller is rated to oper-
ate up to 10 amps of equipment. (10 amps is recommended
maximum load for the 15 amp rated controller.) Make sure the
circuit is rated for 15 amps or more and does not have other
high wattage equipment on the same circuit.
2. CONTROL OUTLETS
Both of these outlets will be activated by either a rise in tem-
perature or humidity above the settings on the dials. Usually
exhaust, intake, and/or circulation fans are used to control
these environmental factors by increasing air flow. Air con-
ditioners or dehumidifiers could also be used. Do not exceed
recommended maximum of 10 amps.
3. CIRCULATION OUTLET
This outlet is ON whenever the control unit is plugged in. This
outlet would be used for oscillating fans (constant air circu-
lation), ionizers, air cleaners or other devices that would be
operated continuously.
4. INTERMITTENT EQUIPMENT OUTLET
This outlet is where your CO2 system should be plugged
directly in if you want it to shut off upon activation by your
temperature or humidity rise. This will prevent wasting CO2
while your exhaust fans are on.
When using a Hydrofarm CO2 system, plug the timer upside
down into the intermittent equipment outlet and recalculate
your flowmeter setting following these steps:
1.
Calculate the cubic feet of your growing area.
(Length x Width x Height = Cubic Feet)
2.
Multiply Cubic Feet x .0012 to equal the amount
of CO
2
per hour for flow meter setting.
3.
Set the flowmeter.
This is a higher setting than the CO2 instructions calculate
because the CO2 system timer allows for slow CO2 build
up. With the Deluxe Climate Controller in use, the CO2
enhancement will be constant unless stopped by tempera-
ture or humidity rise. The garden will need to be replen-
ished rapidly for optimum growth, thus the higher setting.
CO2 TIMER SETTING
To stop CO2 flow during dark cycle, the CO2 timer should be
reset to go on and off with the lights. Manual timers may peri-
odically need to be adjusted to compensate for the “off” time
when your fans are on. Digital timers with a battery back-up
will hold the correct time even though the power is shut off
to the timer when the fans are on. A digital timer upgrade is
available from your Hydrofarm dealer.
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
Place a thermometer next to the controller. Allow it to stabi-
lize for an hour. Turn the temperature control knob slowly to
match the thermometer setting. Using a small screwdriver,
gently turn the calibration screw (in the hole below the
temperature control knob) until a click is heard. This screw
is typically tight from the factory, so use caution with firm
pressure when turning. It is now calibrated. The humidity
controller is factory calibrated and won't need adjustment.
