Specified normal operation
This digital environmental controller is designed for speed controlling of fans and switching a
number of other devices. In addition, lights with a 1-10V/1-10V input can be dimmed.
Depending on the mode of operation, the controller’s power sockets may be used for
connecting devices below:
•
Power sockets „Multifunctional Out 1-4“:
o
humidifier/ dehumidifier
o
lights*
o
irrigation pumps
o
circulation fans
o
CO
₂
valves/ generators (230V)
o
heating mats
o
chillers
o
Regular duct fans with running capacitor*
The following devices can be connected to the laterally RJ45 jacks:
•
RJ45 jacks „In/Out“:
o
humidity and temperature sensor (shipped with the controller)
o
CO
₂
sensor (CarbSense)
o
negative pressure sensor (PresSense)
o
temperature sensor for heating matt
•
RJ45 jacks „EC-Fans“:
o
voltage controlled EC fans
•
RJ45 jack „Lights 0-10V“:
o
lights with 0-10V/1-10V input
o
relays/ contactors 12-24V
The device is not suitable for controlling any other equipment.
The mains cable of an EC fan may not be connected to a power socked on the controller.
It should be connected to a standard power socked that is always on. The speed control
and switch off is done with the signal from the corresponding RJ45 jack.
Warning!
If the “intake” mode is selected for the “Multifunctional Out 1-4” output, only standard
fans may be connected. Other devices may be damaged in the “intake” mode. When
shipped, the functions of “Multifunctional Out 1 and 2” are set to “intake” and “exhaust”.
To meet the European EMC directive, the technique used to control the regular duct fans
may be used up to a maximum 600W. Do not connect devices with a power above 600W
in “intake” or “exhaust” mode.
Always ensure that the maximum output power of the individual outputs is not exceeded.
Please find further information on the device’s label or chapter 11of this manual.
Avoid exposing the temperature and humidity sensor to humility above 95% RH as the
sensor may become damaged.
Do not connect fans with an integrated rpm control. (e.g. temperature controlled)
*The sockets of
GROW
BASE
are not optimized for switching LED luminaires or energy-saving
lamps. To guarantee that the luminaires are completely switched off, the 4th socket of the
GROW
BASE
PRO
controller should be used for LED luminaires or energy-saving lamps.
