Summary

INTRODUCTION

The controller

Regulates and operates lighting, CO2, VPD status, and connected components.

Temperature sensor

Measures room temperature, requires shading for accuracy.

RH% sensor

Measures relative humidity for VPD and climate control. Needs shading.

CO2 sensor

Accurately measures and controls room CO2 levels for generators or ventilation.

PT camera

Measures crop temperature to assess vaporization, crucial for VPD calculation.

The Auxbox

Extends controller functionality for heating, humidification, dehumidification, and fan control.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the lighting

Connects controller to Dimlux ballasts/fixtures via signal cable and interlink cables.

Connecting the CO2

Connects CO2 sensor to controller and CO2 generator/pressure-reducing valve.

Connecting the auxbox

Connects auxbox to controller's AUX port via a communication cable.

Connecting the VPD

Connects sensors (temp, RH%, PT camera) to controller for VPD calculation.
