airflow is sufficient for cooling the 
motor. This applies for standard duct 
fans (AC) only. 

 

Set the maximum fan speed of the intake 
fans. Separate values for day and night are 
available. 

 

To avoid the fans running on full speed 
with only a small exceedance of the desired 
temperature, an allowed deviation can be 
set. 
The actual fan speed within this allowed 
deviation depends on the minimum and 
maximum fan speeds set on the previous 
screens. 
Some other manufacturers call this 
function hysteresis. 

 

This setting has two different meanings 
depending on whether a pressure sensor is 
connected: 

Without a pressure sensor connected: 

With different fan speeds of the intake and 
exhaust fans, a negative pressure  is 
maintained inside the room, which avoids 
the escape of odours from the grow room. 
With this value, the amount of negative 
pressure can be set. Furthermore, the 
intake and exhaust fans can be balanced if 
different fans are used. For example, if a 

value  of 10% is set, this means that the 
intake fan will always turn 10% less 
compared to the exhaust fan. 

With a pressure sensor connected: 

The setting limits the speed of the intake 
fan compared to the exhaust fan. For 
example, with a value of 0%, the intake fan 
will at a maximum go as fast as the exhaust 
fan. With this setting, having positive 
pressure  can be avoided  in case  of  an 
inappropriately calibrated pressure sensor. 

 

Set the desired negative pressure in Pa. 
This setting is only relevant when a 
pressure sensor is connected. 
Pa = Pascal 
One Pa is equivalent to the pressure 
difference of approximately 7cm altitude in 
the earth atmosphere. 

 

Press the button while this screen is shown 
to calibrate the pressure sensor. During 
calibration (which takes about one minute_ 
all fans will be turned off. Further 
information can be found in the pressure 
sensor’s manual. 

 

If “ON” is selected, the pressure sensor will 
be automatically calibrated 10 minutes 
before the “day period” starts (only when a 
pressure sensor
