Mount Your
iPonic™ 624
Alert
Find a secure location outside grow room to mount your
iPonic™ 624
Alert controller. The location should be away from direct sunlight and
grow lights. Make sure the area is dry with no condensation, moisture,
humidity, rain and extreme temperatures. Make sure the controller is in
an easily accessible location. Leave at least ten (10) inches of workspace
below the unit.
There are four (4) mounting holes on the outside of the iPonic™ 624
Alert
enclosure to help you attach it to a suitable surface. Make sure you use
appropriate tools.
The iPonic™ 624
Alert comes with a 115 VAC power cord. Make sure
there is an outlet within approximately six (6) feet. Do not use an outlet
that is not shared with other high-voltage equipment. Disconnect all
equipment from the iPon
ic™ 624
Alert before its initial start-up.
Safety Warning
:
The iPonic™ 624
Alert can only provide a total of 115
volts with a maximum of 15 amps. The recommended maximum is 12
amps or less. This rating is for both rooms. To avoid electric shock,
always keep the hinged door closed and locked when the controller is
turned on.
Connect the Indoor Sensor Modules
The iPonic™
624 Alert comes with two (2) Digital Integrated Sensor
Modules (DISM)
–
one for each
room.
The sensors measure temperature,
humidity, CO2 and lighting. They
come with a 16-foot cable. It is
recommended that each sensor is
hung in a central location within the
greenhouse facility. Ideally, you will
want to hang the module near the
crop level, near to the center of the
controlled environment to get
accurate readings. Keep the module
away from irrigation emitters, unit
heaters and any other type of equipment that may affect the accuracy of
the sensor.
Connect the sensor modules at bottom o
f the iPonic™ 624
Alert and
make it is tightly fastened. For accurate light sensor readings, make sure
the light sensor on top next to cable is facing upward toward your lights
in room. Because of the sensitivity of the sensors, you may want to
experiment with different places and positions to determine which
provides a more accurate reading of your lighting sources.
You may lengthen and extend
the sensor cable as needed
but be sure to use Link4
extension cables, junction
boxes and wire. Cutting and
splicing could result in
unstable sensor readings and
sensor failure. Keep the
cables away from high-
voltage wiring, power
inverters, motor controllers
and mercury arc or sodium lamp circuits.
