SAFETY NOTICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect power to the 120V
electrical outlet before installing or removing the unit. When removing the
electrical wall plate, it may fall across plug pins or become displaced.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a grounding type plug
that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type
power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electri-
cian to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1

Plug both cable ends into the sensor and controller telephone-type
connectors.
Connect your controller into a 120V POWER OUTLET. The display
start-up sequence is as follows: bottom bar lights up, then goes up to top
bar and back down to bottom bar. Controller is then ready to work.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PLACE THE SENSOR
CONNECTOR DIRECTED TOWARD THE FLOOR, forming a
180° loop with the 25-ft cable already tied to the sensor top tab
(with included beaded tie).
To VIEW THE AMBIENT HUMIDITY level, rotate the knob counter
clockwise. Either DAY or NIGHT indicator will blink on left side of
knob to indicate actual light sensor status.
To VIEW THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE level, rotate the knob
clockwise. Either DAY or NIGHT indicator will blink on right side of
knob to indicate actual light sensor status.
STEP 1 LOCATE AND CONNECT THE SENSOR,
APPLY POWER TO THE CONTROLLER.

SETTINGS FOR EACH CONTROL MODE:
Note 2: The Low Temperature Limit will stop your dehumidifying equipment if the
temperature in the room cools down below this setting to avoid damaging your plants.
This limit is active ONLY when “DEHUMIDIFY” or “COOL & DEHUMIDIFY” CON-
TROL MODE is selected. Always set your DAY and NIGHT temperature settings NOT
MORE THAN 2°F above the Low Temp Limit.

CONFIGURATION
STEP 3 : CONNECT YOUR EQUIPMENT (120V 15Amps MAX)
Connect your equipment into the 120V outlet on the front of your controller, set your values and
control mode, then you’re set!
• FAN (to COOL, COOL & DEHUMIDIFY or DEHUMIDIFY)
• HUMIDIFIER (to HUMIDIFY)
• DEHUMIDIFIER (to DEHUMIDIFY)
• HEATER (to HEAT), 1000W heater recommended to maximize
product service life.
DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION, LED or BAR INDICATORS
WILL BLINK IN THESE SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
BLINKING INDICATORS (only one blinking at a time):
The blinking indicator tells you which of temperature or humidity is currently shown and which of
day or night period is being detected by the light sensor.
E.g. A Blinking Humidity Sun Icon stands for “Display currently shows Humidity value” and
“The controller currently works during a Day Period”.
BLINKING TEMPERATURE OR HUMIDITY BARS:
The temperature or humidity values are indicated by the upper 15 bars of display.
• Temperature reading:
TOP BAR is blinking when temperature is above 104°F / 40°C.
BOTTOM BAR (of 15) is blinking when temperature is below 48°F / 9°C. Otherwise,
temperature is within these 2 limits.
• Humidity reading: BOTTOM BAR is blinking when humidity is below 10%. Humidity
above 100% is impossible, TOP BAR will never blink.
• Temp sensor failure: both TEMPERATURE TOP and BOTTOM BARS are blinking when
the temp sensor reading is invalid. The Output will be held OFF if the control mode is using
this sensor. Unit may need to be repaired.
• Humidity sensor failure: both HUMIDITY TOP and BOTTOM BARS are blinking when
the humidity sensor reading is invalid. The Output will be held OFF if the control mode is
using this sensor. Unit may need to be repaired.

CONFIGURATION
BLINKING CONTROL MODE BAR:
The selected CONTROL MODE is indicated by one of the lower 5 bars of display.
• Output is OFF (no voltage on output): Control Mode bar is STEADY LIT, not blinking.
• Output is ON (120V on output): Control Mode bar IS BLINKING.
Exemple 1
DAY Humidity Indicator is blinking.
Display bar “20” is lit (left scale).
DEHUMIDIFY Bar is lit, but not blinking.
Day Humidify Setpoint is 40%.
Exemple 2
NIGHT TEMPERATURE Indicator is blinking.
Display bar “68” AND “72” are lit (right scale).
HEAT Bar is blinking.
Night temperature Setpoint is 75°C .

DAY is detected and the Output is currently
NOTACTIVATED (120V) because humidity
level is at 20%.
NIGHT is detected and the Output is
ACTIVATED because the temperature
level is only 70°C.
DAYAND NIGHT DETECTION
The light sensor detects a NIGHT condition when it senses darkness for a minimum period of 8 seconds.
The light sensor detects a DAY condition when it senses light for a minimum period of 8 seconds.
ELECTRONIC BALLAST IN THE SURRONDINGS
Electronic ballasts are generating electronic noises (EMI) that are likely to be picked up by the sensor
cable and alter the reading of the temperature and humidity values. The HT2 incorporates built-in
filters that reduce the effect of EMI, however, we recommend:
1- to place the sensor and cable as far as possible of the ballast, the bulb and the cable between them,
2- to connect the controller on a different 120V outlet / circuit than the one used for the ballast.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1– BEFORE YOU START
***** CAUTION: READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE TEST.
• LIGHTING: Perform this test in a room with enough light for the controller to detect a DAY
condition. A dark location should be avoided.
• You will need a lamp or night light to perform the test.
• Perform the test in a room temperature around 25°C / 78°F

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D'INCENDIE OU DE CHOCS
ÉLECTRIQUES, SUIVRE ATTENTIVEMENT CES INSTRUCTIONS.
Pour réduire le risque de chocs électriques, coupez le courant de la prise de
courant avant d'installer ou d'enlever l'unité. En enlevant la vis retenant le
couvercle de la prise 120V, celui-
ci peut tomber sur les fiches et les
court-circuiter, ou encore la prise pourrait se déplacer.
Pour réduire le risque de chocs électriques, ce produit possède une fiche dont
la troisième broche sert à la mise à la terre. Cette fiche ne se connecte
uniquement que dans les prises possédant une mise à la terre. Si votre prise
ne possède pas cette mise à la terre, contactez un électricien qualifié pour
l'installation d'une prise appropriée. Ne modifiez pas la fiche du produit.
MISE EN GARDE ET PRÉCAUTIONS

GUIDE D’INSTALLATION
PLACEZ ET CONNECTEZ LE CAPTEUR,
BRANCHEZ LE CONTRÔLEUR DANS LA PRISE DE
COURANT.
ÉTAPE 1
Connectez les extrémités du câble dans les prises de type téléphoniques
du contrôleur et du capteur.
Branchez votre contrôleur dans une PRISE ÉLECTRIQUE 120V.
La séquence de démarrage est la suivante : la barre du bas allume,
ensuite monte rapidement jusqu’à la barre du haut puis redescend
jusqu’à la barre du bas. Le contrôleur est maintenant opérationnel.
IL EST TRÈS IMPORTANT DE PLACER LE CONNECTEUR DU
CAPTEUR VERS LE SOL , formant une boucle à 180° avec le câble
de 25 pieds déjà attaché au trou supérieur du capteur (avec attache in-
cluse).
Pour VOIR L’HUMIDITÉ AMBIANTE , tournez le bouton dans le
sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre. Un ou l’autre des indicateurs
lumineux de jour ou de nuit clignotera à gauche du bouton selon la
lecture actuelle du capteur jour/nuit.
Pour VOIR LATEMPÉRATURE AMBIANTE, tournez le bouton
dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre, un ou l’autre des indicateurs
lumineux de jour ou de nuit clignotera à droite du bouton selon la
lecture actuelle du capteur jour/nuit.
