FAN COMPATIBILITY
This controller is natively compatible with AC Infinity devices with UIS™ connectors. Older model inline
fans with EC motors may be used with this controller using a Molex adapter. An EC-motor fan will have
two cords coming out of its motor box for the power and the controller. Note that certain models that
previously used DC-motors now contain EC-motors in updated builds.
Please visit www.acinfinity.com to check for the latest models compatible with this controller.

PRODUCT WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

7
Certain grow light models with HID* ballasts that do not use electromagnetic shielding will
create an area of radio frequency interference (RFI). This can distort nearby frequency-sensitive
components like internet lines and climate sensors. RFI can be emitted from the ballast’s cords or
the ballast itself.
Follow these steps to ensure proper functionality and to prevent radio frequency interference from
affecting your sensor probe:
TIP 1
Keep the probe cord far away
from your ballast's cords to ensure
the controller properly detects
climate conditions.
You may also wrap the probe
cord and create a cone around
the sensor head with aluminum
foil tape.
TIP 2
Do NOT plug your grow light and
inline fan into the same duplex
outlet. Plug your grow light and
inline fan into separate power
strips and electrical sockets.

The UISTM platform enables you to connect a single central controller with several grow devices
simultaneously. By creating this fully integrated system, you can power and program all your
devices together or separately for optimized grow tent management.
Your grow system can be regulated using your controller hub or remotely on the AC Infinity app
(paired with compatible controllers), where you will have access to automation programming and
climate data.
You can also connect your favorite grow light and outlet device to integrate them into the UIS
platform using our RJ11/12 adapter and control plug module.
Grow devices will be sold separately and may still be in development
at the time of your purchase of this product.

EXTENSION CABLE*
Use male-to-male UIS extension cords to connect devices with female UIS ports at an extended
range from your controller. Included with UIS-compatible devices.
EXPANSION DONGLE*
The expansion dongle will allow you to connect 2 or 4 devices with a single port and can support
additional dongles to create more expansion ports (up to 64 units supported with the use of 20
dongles). Intended for exclusive use with AC Infinity controllers with UIS ports and sold separately.

ADDING MORE DEVICES
The CONTROLLER 69 PRO is built with four ports that enable you to power and control multiple
devices at the same time. See image below for a sample configuration.

18
ADDING MORE DEVICES
USING THE DONGLE
Each controller port can support mix-and-
matched devices regardless of their size.
When using a 2-port or 4-port dongle, plug
your first device into Port 1 for the controller to
recognize as the primary device.
All other devices plugged into the dongle will
follow programming intended for the device
plugged into Port 1.
Dongles are not included and sold separately.
EXTENDING THE CHAIN
When plugging additional dongles into Port
1, all devices plugged into this chain must be
of the same type (ex. grow lights of any size)
regardless of the length of the dongle chain.
