ADDING MORE LIGHTS
The controller can program light intensity levels and scheduled activations of all grow lights plugged
into its UIS™ ports. S-Series controllers are equipped with two ports while T-Series controllers are
equipped with four ports.
An expansion dongle (sold separately) will allow you to daisy-chain additional grow lights past the
number of units your controller can support.
Your IONGRID controller is equipped with multiple
ports to add more grow lights and share the same
programming. Refer to the diagram below to learn
how to connect additional units.
Multi-Light Connection
EXPANSION DONGLE
The expansion dongle will allow you to connect 2 or 4 more devices and can be daisy-chained to
create more expansion ports (up to 64 units supported with the use of 20 dongles). Intended for
exclusive use with AC Infinity controllers built with UIS™ ports.

CONTROLLER MODES
Pressing the mode button will cycle through the controller’s available programming modes and
settings: OFF, ON, TIMER TO ON, TIMER TO OFF, and CYCLE.
OFF MODE
Your grow light will not activate while in this
mode. The intensity level set here establishes the
minimum intensity level in the other modes. When
the light is triggered to turn off in all other modes,
it will instead shine at the level set here.
ON MODE
Your grow light will activate to the intensity level
set here. The ON mode also serves as the
maximum intensity level setting the other modes
will shine in.
TIMER TO ON MODE
Use the up/down button to set a countdown to
trigger ON mode. Once the timer ends, the grow
light will shine at the intensity level set in ON
mode. If there is a level set in OFF mode greater
than 0, the grow light will shine at that level
during the countdown.
The countdown will begin if no buttons are
pressed for 5 seconds. Leaving the TIMER mode
while the countdown is running will pause it until
you return to this mode.
The grow light will shine at the
intensity level set in OFF mode while
it is deactivated.
