NOTE: An optional 15' extension cable can be purchased to allow the user to place the remote
sensor up to 30' from the controller.
INSTALLATION
• Secure the unit to a wall.
• Determine the best location for the remote probe. Place the probe in an area with good air
movement preferably at plant height. Avoid placing the probe in direct sunlight or under direct
HID lighting.
NOTE: Do not place the sensor probe where it will come in to contact with water. The probe is
NOT WATERPROOF.
• The remote probe has a quick disconnect to easily remove or connect the probe. Secure the
quick disconnect to the unit by securing the QD screw to the unit.
• Plug the main power cable into a standard (120V) NEMA 5-15 wall outlet. (NOTE: The included AC
adapter is only for use in conjunction with an exhaust fan. If you have a sealed room and are not
using an exhaust fan, do not plug in the AC adapter.)
• Turn the power on and allow it to warm up. This takes about 5 minutes. During the warm up
period, the display will read CO
