Mounting the Controller

The system should be securely mounted on an indoor vertical surface.

Follow these tips for the best results:

1. Locate the controller in a dry location away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.

2. Mount the location at a height that is easy to view and operate from a standing position.

3. Ensure the area around the controller can be kept clear and accessible.

4. Avoid locating the controller next to heavy electrical loads and equipment.

Use the holes in the top and bottom mounting flanges to secure the controller to the surface. It is recom-

mended to trace the holes and drill pilot holes. Use a level to ensure the system is mounted straight.

USE CAUTION

when installing screws and mounting the unit. Impacting the screen with a drill or screw

driver or dropping the unit will cause serious damage to the unit.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

screws; enclosure is made out of corrosion resistant aluminum which can be

bent easily. Use minimal toque when installing screws. Plastic washers are recommended to prevent dam-

age to the paint.

DO NOT DRILL HOLES

into the enclosure of any product. Damage to the unit may result and will not be

covered under warranty. Only use the knock-outs provided in the bottom panel if necessary.

Device Connections

All GrowNET™ devices are connected using standard CAT5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connections.

Devices can be connected directly to the GrowNET™ ports on the bottom of the controller, or through HX8

GrowNET™ hubs. It is typical to simplify cabling by locating hubs centrally in hall ways and rooms allowing

single runs from an 8-port device hub back to a central hub or back to the controller.

HX8 GrowNET ™ hubs can be daisy-chained to form a network of up

to 100 devices per bus. Hubs provide up to 1A of power for operating

sensors and most relays directly over the CAT5 cable. A DC jack on

the hub provides 24Vdc power to the ports from the included wall

power supply. A terminal block power option is also available.

DIELECTRIC GREASE

Dielectric grease is recommended on RJ-45 GrowNET™ connections when used in humid environments.

Place a small amount of grease onto the RJ-45 plug contacts before inserting into the GrowNET™ port.

Non-conductive grease is designed to prevent corrosion from moisture in electrical connectors.

• Loctite LB 8423

• Dupont Molykote 4/5

• CRC 05105 Di-Electric Grease

• Super Lube 91016 Silicone Dielectric Grease

• Other Silicone or Lithium based insulating grease

NOTICE

GrowNET™ ports use standard RJ-45 connections but are NOT compatible the Ethernet network equipment.

Do not connect GrowNET™ ports to Ethernet ports or network switch gear.
