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.

AUTO MODE (HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the high
temperature trigger. Your device will turn on if the probe’s
reading meets or exceeds this threshold.
If the probe’s reading falls below this trigger point,
your device will turn off. This shut off point can be adjusted
using the buffer setting as shown on page 27.
This is typically used with devices like air conditioners and
cooling fans to help lower the temperature when it gets too
hot. For example, if you set a high temperature trigger of
90°F, then your device will activate when the temperature
reaches 90°F or higher, and turn off when it falls below
90°F. Products shown here may still be in development.
Note that any of the four AUTO Mode triggers can activate at the same time, even if you are not viewing that
specific trigger. Turn off any triggers not in use by pressing the up and down buttons together while viewing that
trigger. Triggers may be delayed from turning off by your Buffer Settings, please see page 27 for more info.

AUTO MODE (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGER)
Pressing the up or down button sets the low temperature
trigger.Your device will turn on if the probe’s reading meets
or falls below this threshold.
If the probe’s reading rises above this trigger point, your
device will turn off. This shut off point can be adjusted
using the buffer setting as shown on page 28.
This is typically used with devices like heaters and seedling
mats to help raise the temperature when it gets too cold.
For example, if you set a low temperature trigger of 40°F,
then your device will activate when the temperature falls
to 40°F or lower, and turn off when it rises above 40°F.
Products shown here may still be in development.

specific trigger. Turn off any triggers not in use by pressing the up and down buttons together while viewing that
trigger. Triggers may be delayed from turning off by your Buffer Settings, please see page 27 for more info.

If the probe’s reading falls below this trigger point,
your device will turn off. This shut off point can be adjusted
using the buffer setting as shown on page 29.
This is typically used with devices like dehumidifiers
to help lower the humidity when it gets too humid. For
example, if you set a high humidity trigger of 70%, then
your device will activate when the humidity rises to 70%
or higher, and turn off when it falls below 70%. Products
shown here may still be in development.
