MOUNTING
There are several ways that you can mount your GSI-2 Controller.
Due to the convenient embedded magetic backing, the unit will
securely stick to any ferrous metal such as Iron or Steel.
Your GSI-2 also comes with a wall mount plate. This wall mount
can be attached to the wall with two small screws and wall
anchors (included). Once mounted, the wall mount will act as a
metal surface to which the Controller can attach.
For mounting on the side of a canvas grow tent, simply hold the
wall mount on the opposite side of the fabric from where you want
to mount your Controller, then align the magnet on the back of the
Controller to make contact with the wall mount through the fabric.
TURNING ON THE CONTROLLER
Place the USB end of the power cable into the wall adapter, then
plug the wall adapter into any 120v wall outlet.
Plug the USB-C end of the cable into Power Cord Port on the
right-hand side of the Controller.
You will see the Kind LED logo appear on the screen.
Your Controller is now booting up.
Once booting up has completed, you will then see the home
screen appear. On the screen you will see the following:
- Time of day
- Current lighting schedule represented on a line graph
- Current spectrum setting represented in 2, or 3 sliders
- Current temperature and humidity
- Power button
- Info button
CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER TO THE LIGHT
Plug the provided RJ14 cable into the RJ cable port located on
the bottom of the Controller.
If you have multiple lights, connect the Controller to the left
hand RJ port on the light, then run an additional cable from the
right hand RJ Port to the following light as shown below.

SETTING THE TIME
From the home screen, touch the Time Display to access clock
settings.
Use the scroll wheels to scroll up or down until the desired date
and time are displayed in the yellow section of each box.
Once completed touch the “set” button.
Your time is now set and you will return to the home screen.
SETTING THE SPECTRUM
From the home screen, touch the Spectrum Reading Sliders.
On the spectrum setting page, select the number of channels your light
has by tapping the box on the upper right. “2-Channel” applies to
X220,X330, X420 and X750. “3-Channel” applies to the commercial
X2(v1) fixtue only.
On the spectrum drop down scroll menu, you will see options for Clone,
Vegetation, Flower, Finish, and Custom.
Clone, Vegetation, Flower, and Finish are preset spectrum settings that
have been optimized for each stage of growth. Once a preset is chosen
(highlighted) touch “set” to save the spectrum and return to the home
screen.
The Custom spectrum setting allows you to adjust each spectral
channel to your desired intensity. Once “custom” is chosen (highlight-
ed), you will be taken to a screen with spectrum intensity sliders. Slide
the circle up or down to set the intensity of each channel and then press
“set” to save the spectrum and return to the home screen.

8SAFETY SHUTOFF
Your light is equipped with a safety feature that will dim and/or shut off
your light in the event your room is overheating. To set these safety
thresholds, touch the temp/humidity boxes on the right-hand side of the
home screen.
It is recommeneded that the “dim” temp is set to the top end of a
healthy grow environment temp range . If the grow environment
reaches your selected “dim” temp, your grow light will dim but not turn
off completley.
The “off” temp should be set at the absolute limit of a dangerous temp
high point, at which point your light will turn off completely for safety.
Once these two setpoints are highlighted, touch “set” to save the setting
and return to the home screen.
SETTING YOUR LIGHT’S ON/OFF SCHEDULE
From the home screen, touch the Lighting Schedule Line Graph.
Set your desired “ON” time in the upper boxes, being sure to
choose the correct “am/pm” setting.
Set your desired “OFF” time in the lower boxes, again being sure
to choose the correct “am/pm” setting.
On the right side of the screen, you will see an option for setting
a sunrise/sunset mode.
If sunrise/sunset mode is activated, when the schedule reaches
your “ON” time, the light will slowly increase intensity from 0 to
your desired setting over a selected duration of time. This
duration can be set in 5, 10, 15, or 20 minute increments.
This mode will also dim your light down at the end of its “ON”
phase until finally reaching 0 intensity at it’s “OFF” time.
NOTE: If “00” is chosen as the duration, your light will come on
at 100% of the current spectrum settings when your lights
reaches it’s “ON” time.
Once your desired settings have been entered, touch the “set”
button to save and return to the home screen.

POWER BUTTON
The power button on the lower right hand of the home screen
can be used for a visual representation of whether your light is in
an “ON” phase (if green) or an “OFF” phase (if gray).
This button can also be used as an override to the current state
of your light.
Please note that if you're turning “ON” from the “OFF” phase,
we’ve built in a safety feature that will return the light to the
“OFF” phase after 1 minute.
