The Cloud Module is the brain of your
smart farm. It manages your farm
automation system, allowing the
equipment in your farm to work
together — from lighting and HVAC,
to CO2 and irrigation, and pretty
much anything else in between.
CLOUD MODULE
Use the enclosed mounting hardware
to mount it to any flat surface. Use
the included 12VDC power adapter
to plug in the Cloud Module. The first
time it turns on, it will have a flashing
blue light to indicate that it has power
and is ready to be connected to a
Wi-Fi network.
The power source for the Cloud
Module should be on a dedicated
circuit that does not share power
with other equipment loads.

PREMIUM SENSOR
2
The Premium Sensor Module includes sensors
for relative humidity, barometric pressure, air
temperature, vapor pressure, CO2 and light.
Locate the sensor in a clean and dry location
where it will sample non-stagnant air. If you
are utilizing the light sensor for sun sensing,
ensure the light sensor has a clear path to the
sun or light source. The sensor is designed to
be suspended with the light sensor facing up
and hanging at canopy level. The sensor can
also be mounted to a wall with wall-mounting
hardware. Run power to the sensor with the
included power extension cord and 12 VDC
power adapter.
For additional Premium Sensors, order
Part Number 4041695.

DOWNLOAD QUEST CLOUD CONTROL APP
To set up and configure the controller, you will need to install the Cloud
Control App from either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
LAUNCH APP
Launch the App and follow the onscreen instructions to setup your
new account and connect your controller to your Wi-Fi.
APP DASHBOARD
Your Cloud Control Dashboard shows all the sensors connected
to your system. By default, the Controller lists five sensors:
• Room Temperature
• Room Humidity
• Room VPD
• Room Light Levels
• Room CO2
SET UP THE CLOUD CONTROL
Step 1: Mounting the Cloud Control
Mount the controller to any wall near the wireless access point and plug it in with the included 12V Power Adapter.
Step 2: Mounting the Sensor Module
Locate the Premium Sensor(s) in a clean and dry location where it will
sample non-stagnant air. If you are utilizing the light sensor for sun sensing,
ensure the light sensor has a clear path to the sun or light source. The
Premium Sensor is designed to be suspended with the light sensor facing up
and hanging at canopy level. The Premium Sensor can also be mounted to a
wall with the wall-mounting hardware (order kit PN 4041954). Locate the
sensor no more than 500 feet from the controller. See options 1 and 2 for
hanging the sensor. Run power to the Premium Sensor with the included
power extension cord and adapter.
Option 1 - Eye Hook: Screw the eye hook into the top of the sensor.
Attach to wall.
Option 2 - Bracket: Attach bracket to sensor using two small screws. Use two
long screws to mount bracket to wall. If attaching to drywall, use anchors.
