Set-up Watering
The spare climate output (or any other unused outputs) can be set to control cycling a hydroponics
system, repeat CO2 dispensing or just watering your plants. To do this, select "Set-up Equipment",
select the output you want to change, press Ok, then again to select "Watering" then "OK".
There are up to eight “watering” times you can set. The default values are:
00.01, 0300, 0600, 0900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100.
To set the watering times you go to the main menu. Skip to "Set-up Watering", press Ok. Now you
can use the up arrow to step through the watering entries until you reach the watering entry you want to
change. Press Ok. You will see a screen something like:
Watering No. 3
06:00
Use the left arrow to move to the digit to be changed, then use the up arrow to change it. The software
will sort the watering times into order. You could change the 21:00 entry to say 4:00 and the software
will sort the list so that 4:00 comes before the current 6:00 first watering.
Note: the watering duration is entered in "Set-up Climate"
Set-up Outputs
Pro Plus Model only
The Pro Plus model has 8 additional general-purpose outputs and 8 digital inputs, all using RCA plugs.
The inputs are closed contact type. I.e. if you have two wires plugged into the input, it is ON when you
join the wires together, and OFF when the wire is not joined.
The outputs can be configured as one of six different types.
Explanation
1) Timer Output. This is a simple timer that you enter a Start time and a Stop time.
2) Periodic Output. This output has a start time, a period between cycles, and duration of cycle.
E.G. You have a spray to come on every three hours for 5 minutes. Set the start time to 8am (so it
is LIGHT), the period to 3 hours, the duration to 5 minutes. This could be used as unmonitored
CO2 dispenser.
3) “Input Tied” Output. This output turns on or off depending on an INPUT switch. The set up has
a polarity field to set the way the input operates the output.
I.E., you have carbon dioxide burner. You this output to turn a fan on when the door is opened
(Input switch) so that air in the room is evacuated in case of carbon monoxide build up.
4) “Input Tied” to Periodic Output. Periodic output (2 above) but triggered by an input rather than
time. To set this output, select which input (1-8), whether it starts when the input is ON or OFF,
the period and duration. NOTE: Output holds only while the input stays triggered.
5) Dual Input Output. Controlled By Two Inputs - This allows an output to be turned on by one input
and turned off by the other. For such things as filling a tank with two float switches - the pump
turned ON by a lower float switch, turned OFF when the water level activates upper float switch.
6) Input Controlled “Burst Output”. This output is tied to an input as (3) above. When the input goes
ON (or OFF) the output comes ON for a duration set. It does not come on again until the input
has become inactive then active again.
