To connect the electrical components, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the design specifications of
the FertiMiX Pro C. If this is not the case, please contact Ridder Growing
Solutions.
2. Make sure that the power switch is set to 0 (off).
3. Make sure that the system pump has been switched off manually.
4. Connect the supply voltage according to the wiring diagram provided.
5. Connect the external meters and valves according to the wiring diagram.
6. Connect your PC to the FertiMiX Pro C / CX500. See the "Connecting PC to

Connecting PC to FertiMiX Pro C / CX500
To operate the FertiMiX Pro C with Synopta, a connection is required between your PC
and the FertiMiX Pro C / CX500.
To install the programs, you need an Ethernet cable (CAT 5 UTP); this is not
included as standard.

Installing other components
During the initial installation and commissioning of the FertiMiX Pro C, the
components listed below will usually already be connected. However, it is also
possible to add and connect these components to the FertiMiX later.
Before connecting components such as a dosing channel or sensor, make sure
that the FertiMiX is switched off.
4.5.1
Connecting a dosing channel
Since a dosing channel is always supplied preassembled, you only need to tighten up
the screw couplings.
Use the dosing channels that have already been installed as an example.
To connect an extra or new (acid) dosing channel, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that there is no water pressure in the FertiMiX.
2. Remove the black protective cap on the mixing tank.
3. Unscrew the sealing cap of the dosing street.
4. Put the new dosing channel in place.
5. Tighten all the screw couplings securely.
6. Connect the wiring terminal block to the dosing valve.
7. Route all the wiring to the cabinet (follow the already connected wiring).
8. Connect the wiring according to the included wiring diagram.
