UISTM PLATFORM
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.

17
CONNECTING TO UISTM
EXTENSION CABLE
Use the included UIS M-M extension cord to connect
your heater to your UIS controller.
Plug the UIS connector with the gasket end into your
heater. The gasket is specially designed to protect
against liquids and dust.
Your UIS controller will override all onboard settings,
assume control (parameters must be adjusted on
the controller), and shut off your heater's display
and touch functions when connected in this manner.
The sensor probe plugged into your controller will
override the heater's sensor
THERMOFORGE heaters can connect with any UIS controller (sold
separately) as part of an integrated system using the included UIS
extension cord.
