The iGrow 1800™ can be used to monitor and control up to five (5) independent heating or cooling “Micro-
Zones”. What is a Micro-Zone? A Micro-Zone is a
region or compartment within a greenhouse that has a
different temperature setpoint. Typical uses for Micro-Zones would be bench heating, corridor heating, or any
other area in the greenhouse with separate heating or cooling equipment. Any of the iGrow1800’s 12 outputs
can be programmed as an M-Zone. An MZone output is basically an independent thermostat with both a day
and night setting.
Note:
MZones only control On/Off type equipments. For control of proportional type see Pzone.
The first option for MZones is setting it to control either a heating device or a cooling one. The next setting is
telling the iGrow1800™ which temperature probe to use. The iGrow 1800™ has five temperature probe sensor
inputs, so it’s important to set the iGrow1600/1800™ to read the correct one for the MZone.

Two target temperatures can be set, one for

Nite
. Either can be
Enabled
or
Disabled
.
The Day temperature target begins with the

Start at 8:00P
Lockout >= Cool1
The iGrow 1800™ will keep the device on so long as the following two conditions are met:
1. The current cooling/heating stage is less than or equal to the indicated stage, where H6<H5…<N<C1<….C6.
2. The temperature is above/below the target temperature plus the deadband.
Note:
The Deadband is set under the “System Setup” menu and then selecting the “Setup Deadbands” option.
The BHeat deadband is one used for MZones.
The Nite target is set exactly the same as the day. If only one temperature setpoint is desired for the 24 hour
period, then you can simply select the
Disabled
option for the second one.
In the example screen above, iGrow 1800™ output 7 is controlling a Bench Heater. From 6am to 8pm the
heater will turn on if the MZone temperature goes below 72°F. Additionally, it will shut off, or
Lockout
, if the
main greenhouse enters Cool1-Cool6. This way you’re not trying to heat and cool your greenhouse at the same
time. From 8pm to 6am the setpoint lowers to 65°F and will also Lockout if the greenhouse enters Cool1-Cool6.
