9 gPod Additional Features
The gPod models are specifically suited for agricultural grow applications. Therefore, the gPod product comes
standard with additional features such as lighting sensor-based or time-based control, CO
2
level control, and night
time temperature and humidity setpoint. There is additional use and setup information in the dap4 and Mini-dap4
User Manual.
Day/Night Control
A lighting sensor is provided and must be remote mounted during field installation. The sensor requires 18 AWG
wire. The sensor has a conduit base for easy mounting on junction boxes and conduit fittings. This option controls
different temperature and humidity setpoints for day and night operation.
CO
2
Control
The CO
2
option allows the gPod unit to control, monitor, and display alarms for CO
2
levels. The package includes a
CO
2
sensor, a 24VDC power supply, a 3/8” dispersion tube located in the existing air stream, and a solenoid valve
which are all pre-mounted and wired inside the unit during factory build. The CO
2
generators or CO
2
bottle must be
field supplied by the end user. Piping and connection to the CO
2
supply port on the gPod unit must be field supplied
by the installing contractor. The CO
2
recommended operating pressure is 20 PSIG. Operating at higher CO2 supply
pressures may make CO2 control more difficult. The solenoid valve is limited to a maximum operating pressure of
90 PSIG. Frequency and length of bursts of CO
2
is user adjustable via the dap4 or Mini-dap4 controller settings to
maintain CO
2
levels.
