Installation
• Mount the Controller on the wall. Place the remote sensor at plant
height in an area with good air circulation. Avoid placing the sensor in
a location with direct, intense exposure to light.
• Connect the sensor cable to the bottom of the unit using the
quick-disconnect screw.
• Plug the Controller into a 120V NEMA 5-15 wall outlet.
• Turn the power on and allow the unit to warm up for 5 minutes.
While the unit is warming up, the display will read “CO
2
heat.”
• Program the desired settings before connecting any devices.
• Plug the devices to be controlled by the unit into the
receptacles on the unit’s sides.
• Ensure the devices being connected to the
Controller have the proper voltage and will
not exceed the maximum amperage rating
of the unit.
• Before using a sulfur vaporizer around the
Controller, remove the remote sensor
from the affected area or turn the unit off
and cover the sensor with a protective
plastic bag. Remove the bag before turning
the Controller back on. Note: Failure to
protect the remote sensor during sulfur use
will result in damage to the infrared CO
2
sensor and void the warranty.
• Do not expose the unit to water.

Restoring Factory Settings: Hold the “Enter/Reset” and DOWN
arrow buttons for 3 seconds. The display will read “f.Set.” Press the
“Enter/Reset” button again to restore the default factory settings. When
the process is complete, the display will read “donE.” Note: It may take
up to 15 seconds to complete the process.
Error LEDs
When the Controller is functioning normally, the ambient CO
2
level,
temperature and humidity will change slowly but steadily. If the
Controller does not detect a change in CO
2
level, temperature or
humidity within a 1-hour period, the unit will deactivate the affected
output and the corresponding green error LED will ash to indicate
which device may be malfunctioning. Ensure the device and remote
sensor are functioning properly. To reset the error, press the
“Enter/Reset” button.
Adjusting Photocell Sensitivity
• To change the photocell’s sensitivity, hold the DOWN arrow
button for 3 seconds. The current setting will be displayed.
• Press the UP arrow button to increase the number displayed,
decreasing the amount of light required to activate the photocell.
• Press the DOWN arrow button to decrease the number displayed,
increasing the amount of light required to activate the photocell.
• Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting.
Selecting Temperature Settings
Temperature Display: Hold the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons for 3 seconds to change the temperature display from
Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Temperature Day: The Controller allows day cooling and day
heating set-points. To set the temperature at which the cooling
output will be activated during the day, press the “Day Setting”
button. The display will read “CooL__F.” Use the UP and DOWN
arrow buttons to adjust the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept
the new setting. To set the temperature at which the heating output
will be activated during the day, press the “Day Setting” button twice.
The display will read “HEAt__F.” Use the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons to adjust the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the
new setting.
Temperature Night: The Controller allows night cooling and
night heating set-points. To set the temperature at which the cooling
output will be activated at night, press the “Night Setting” button. The
display will read “d.CooL__F.” Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons
to adjust the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting.
To set the temperature at which the heating output will be activated
at night, press the “Night Setting” button twice. The display will read
“HEAt__F.” Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the set-
ting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting.
Temperature Deadband: The Controller allows cooling and
heating deadband settings. To set the cooling deadband, press the
“Deadband” button under “Temp.” The display will read “d.CooL__F.”
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the setting. Press
“Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting. To set the heating dead-
band, press the “Deadband” button twice under “Temp.” The display
will read “d.HEAt__F.” Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to
adjust the setting. Press “Enter/Reset” to accept the new setting.
Note: To prevent the unit from activating both the cooling and
heating devices at the same time, the difference between the heating
and cooling set-points must be greater than the combined deadband
set-points.
Selecting Humidity Settings
Humidity Day: To select the humidity level at which the humidity
output will be activated during the day, press the “Day/Night Setting”
button. The display will read “dAy_rH.” Use the UP and DOWN arrow
