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.
EC Motor - Compatible AC or DC Motor - NOT Compatible

The Universal Infnity System™ 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.
Use select smart controllers to set triggers that will activate your devices based on your grow tent’s
temperature and humidity. Create independent timers and schedules for customized activation in
your desired timeframe.
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.
Grow devices will be sold separately and may still be in development at the time of your
purchase of this product.

ADDING MORE DEVICES
The CONTROLLER 69 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.

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.
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.

PROGRAMMING
1. PORT BUTTON
Cycles through up to four
connected devices. Each device
is programmed independently, or
together when navigating to ALL.
5. PORTS
Displays all connected devices
as well as their current level.
Digits are displayed by the UIS
symbol when a device is plugged
into its corresponding port.
6. PROBE TEMP.
Displays the current
temperature that the probe is
detecting. Shows “--” if no probe
is plugged in. Includes a trend
indicator that signals a rise,
steady, or fall in temperature
within the last hour.
4. UP/DOWN BUTTONS
Adjusts the value of your
current mode. The up button
increases and down button de-
creases the setting. Hold both
to reset values to OFF or 0.
10. CURRENT TIME
Displays the current time. The
internal battery sustains the
clock so it does not default to
00:00 if power is cut off.
9. ALERT ICONS
Displays alerts and statuses of the
controller, including the controller lock,
CLIMATE alert, and TIMER alert.
13. USER SETTING
Displays the value of your
current mode. Use the up or
down buttons to adjust the value.
12. COUNTDOWN
Displays the countdown of the TIMER
TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE,
or SCHEDULE mode activates or
deactivates the devices. TO ON shows
the amount of time left before the devices
turn on. TO OFF shows the amount of
time left before the device turn off.
7. PROBE HUMIDITY
Displays the current humidity
that the probe is measuring.
Shows "--" if no probe is plugged
in. Includes a trend indicator that
signals a rise, steady, or fall in
humidity within the last hour.
3. SETTING BUTTON
Cycles through the controller’s
settings: DISPLAY, CLOCK,
°F/°C, CALIB. T°/H%, and
TRANS.T°/H%.
2. MODE BUTTON
Cycles through the controller’s modes:
OFF, ON, AUTO (4 triggers), TIMER to
ON, TIMER to OFF, CYCLE (ON and
OFF), and SCHEDULE (ON and OFF).
11. CURRENT LEVEL
Displays the connected
devices' current setting.
Includes a trend indicator that
signals if the setting is currently
rising, falling, or holding steady.

PROGRAMMING
ALL PORTS
Navigate to the ALL port to set simultaneous
programming for all connected devices.
Programming set in this port mode applies to all
connected devices, but will not be active if you
navigate to other ports. Re-entering the ALL port
will resume its programming.
INDIVIDUAL PORT
Navigate to a numbered port with a connected
device to set individual programming.
Programming will run in the background even while
you navigate to other numbered ports.
PORTS
Pressing the port button will cycle through the controller’s available ports: ALL, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Dot indicates the current device. No digit is displayed if a device is not plugged into the
corresponding port.

PROGRAMMING
ON MODE (ALSO SETS MAXIMUM LEVEL)
Your devices will actively run at the level set here,
regardless of the probe’s reading. The ON mode
also serves as the maximum level setting the other
modes will run in. Don’t set the level to zero or the
device will turn off when it’s triggered ON.
OFF MODE (ALSO SETS MINIMUM LEVEL)
Your devices will not run while in this mode.
The level set while in this mode establishes the
minimum level in other modes. When the devices
are triggered to turn OFF in all other modes, they
will instead run at the level set here. Set the level
to zero if you want the device to turn off when
triggered OFF.
CONTROLLER MODES
Pressing the mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes: OFF,
ON, AUTO (4 triggers), TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, CYCLE (On and Off), and SCHEDULE (On
and Off).

21
AUTO MODE (HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the high
temperature trigger. The devices will activate if the
probe’s reading meets or exceeds this threshold.
Once triggered, the devices will gradually ramp up
to the level set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading
falls below this trigger point, the devices will
gradually slow down to a stop or at the level set in
OFF mode.
You may set this trigger below the low temperature
trigger to create a specific range in which the
devices are active.
Any of the four trigger points can activate while
you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are viewing
another trigger point. Please set a trigger point
to OFF if not in use, by holding down the up and
down button.
If there is a level set in OFF Mode other than zero,
the devices will run at that level when triggered
to turn off.
Any of the four trigger points can activate while
you are in AUTO Mode, even if you are viewing
another trigger point. Please set a trigger point
to OFF if not in use, by holding down the up and
down button.
If there is a level set in OFF Mode other than zero,
the devices will run at that level when triggered
to turn off.
PROGRAMMING
AUTO MODE (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the low
temperature trigger. The devices will activate if the
probe’s reading meets or falls below this threshold.
Once triggered, the devices will gradually ramp up
to the level set in ON mode. If the probe’s reading
rises above this trigger point, the devices will
gradually slow down to a stop or at the level set in
OFF mode.
You may set this trigger above the high temperature
trigger to create a specific range in which the
devices are active.
