according to the direcon of the module.
Peripherals connecon
1
B-Type USB. Only Firmware update
Temperature/Moisture sensor
230VAC - 10A Power cord

Place the module on a firm surface, far from
flood-prone areas. It is recommended that the
module be mounted on a wall with the fixing
holes on the upper part.
Once the module has been mounted, connect
the power cable (16) to the module’s power
outlet (1) and the other end to the 230VAC.
outlet.

Connect the temperature and moisture sensor
(15) to the module’s outlet (6).
Place the sensor at the height of the plants
where you could monitor the environmental
state of the culvaon area correctly.
Never positon the sensor too close to a light
source or to moist soil as to generate false
environmental data.

Connect your peripherals to the module’s power
outlets (11). To correctly idenfy the posion in
which your peripherals are connected to the
module, it is recommended that they be connec-
ted in order, respecng the figure for each outlet.
Power outlet dedicated to the lighng
devices.
Power outlet dedicated to fan or
extracon systems.
Power outlet dedicated to the irrigaon
and water tank deposit maintenance
systems.
Outlet dedicated to any other type of
peripherals.
If you connect mulple devices to one outlet,
remember not to surpass the power limits,
which is for each outlet and in total per module:
2300W (230vAC - EU) / 1200W (120vAC - USA)

It includes four push buons (5), which will
enable acvang and deacvang manually each
of the outlets.
The figures (10) will light up independently,
acng as controls and indicang at each moment
which outlets are currently acve.

MAINTENANCE
Fuse Replacement
Remove the module’s power cord (16). Never
handle the fuse holder while the module is
connected to the power.
Turn the cover cap of the fuse holder
counter-clockwise with the help of a turnscrew
and remove the damaged fuse.
Replace the fuse with another with similar
features:
10A 250VAC 125VDC 3AB (Europe)
10A 125VAC (USA)

COMUNICACIONES
Connecon to GroNode
First, install GroNode and the control soware
successfully. Follow the procedures indicated in
the GroNode user manual.
Once GroNode has been connected to the
soware, access GroLab through the menu.
If the module has been successfully located
automacally by GroNode, it will appear on the
top menu.
If you have more modules of the same type, a list
of them will appear on the soware’s right side
menu. Add up to a total of four modules of each
type for each GroNode.

Problems or losses in
communicaon
GroNode was designed to communicate with the
other modules through radio frequency signals.
The range of acon is 25 metres indoors and 100
metres outdoors depending on space condions.
If the control soware does not find your module
or frequently loses communicaon it is possible
that you have exceeded the distance between
your modules and GroNode.
Some load-bearing walls and electronic devices
may interfere with the signal.
Check the configuraon panel to ensure the
modules are connected. A wireless signal icon
will indicate if your module has a signal.

If you detect that the signal has been interrup-
ted, with the module on, press the reset buon
(4) and wait a few seconds. Check the soware to
see if the communicaon has been re-establi-
shed.
If the problem persists, perform a test run by
placing the module next to GroNode and check
the status of communicaon in the soware. If
communicaon has been successfully re-establi-
shed, repeat this operaon at different distances
unl you detect the maximum communicaon
distance.
If GroNode does not detect your module even
when next to each other, contact our technical
support.

device’s USB outlet (7) and follow the procedures
