PROGRAMMING
1. LIGHTING
Pressing the light button will increase the light
intensity level in 10/30/60/100% increments,
displayed with white LED indicators. Pressing
this button at 100% intensity will cycle to 0%.
Holding the light button will shut off the lighting.
Pressing it again will return the light intensity to
its previous setting.
2. TIMER
Pressing the clock button will set the timer
in 3/6/12/18-hour increments, displayed with
orange LED indicators.
Within a 24-hour cycle, lighting will be active for
the amount of time set here (ex. 3 hours for a
3HR timer). It will deactivate for the rest of the
24-hour cycle (ex. 21 hours).
Pressing the clock button at the 18HR setting
will deactivate the timer, cycling from 3HR
onwards when pressing this button again.
3. UIS CONNECTION

growing process. These factors will vary based on the plant you are growing. Height refers to the
minimum recommended distance from the canopy (tip of the plant) to the light.

SETTING ACTIVE LIGHTING TIMERS
The included controller can set timers in 3/6/12/18-hour increments.
Use either the 3HR or the 6HR timer to extend your plant's daily exposure to light, in conjunction
with natural sunlight, or when growing plants that don't require extended exposure to lighting.
Use either the 12HR or the 18HR timer to complement common light cycles used to grow high yield
plants indoors. This will also allow for your lighting to sync with your grow set-up's existing lighting,
so that they may activate at the same time.

CONNECTING TO UISTM
AN INTERCONNECTED GROW SETUP
The Universal Infinity System (UIS) is a series of controllers and devices that come together
to create a fully automated system. UIS enables our controllers to simultaneously connect with
various grow equipment such as inline fans, clip-on fans, and grow lights. Advance UIS controllers
can provide each connected UIS device with their own automated programming like temperature,
humidity, cycles, schedules, and dynamic levels, while also pairing with the AC Infinity app.
