Setting a Third Time Setpoint in a 24hr Period (DIF)
If two daily time setpoints do not fully meet your needs you have the option of creating a third setpoint. An
example of a helpful third setpoint might be a short time period before your day time setpoint begins
where you would like your controller to begin bringing the room up to temperature and/or closer to the
daytime CO

target before powering on all of the lights.

in the

Once Daily or Single Event Overrides
Time setpoints keep your environment stable throughout the day and night but you may find an occasion during
the day or during your growing cycle where you would like more definite intervention from some piece of
equipment. An example might be a one time or a once daily thorough irrigation event where you let the irrigation
pump run steady for some period of time in addition to the slow, steady trickle of the regular irrigation cycle. A
timed override can force any equipment on or off, starting at any time you choose and for any period of time you
choose. One programmed override per piece of equipment is allowed.

Advanced Lighting Control
Working with an Independent Light Timer
Out of the box the iPonic
TM
614’s light and day setpoints are dependent on one another. If you change
one, the other changes so that they are always synchronized. An advanced setting is to separate these
setpoints from one another.
Menu->SystemSetup->6. Advanced->Global Light Settings->button 3->Allow Light run independently of
Day Setpoint Y/N choose Yes. Press OK. Press OK again. Press OK again to confirm changes and exit.
THEN, Press the HOME key. Press 1 and use the wheel’s wheel to highlight “Settings,” and press OK.
Button 8 has been populated with a new option “Light Timing Method,” press this button. Now use the
wheel to highlight “Light runs independently from Day Setpoint.” Press OK. You can now use buttons 1 &
2 to set the start and end times for your lights which will now be independent from your time setpoints.
