INTERFERENCE from MH and HPS LIGHTS

Certain grow light models with HID* ballasts that do not use electromagnetic shielding will create an area of radio frequency interference (RFI). This can distort nearby frequency-sensitive components like internet lines and climate sensors. RFI can be emitted from the ballast’s cords or the ballast itself.
Follow these steps to ensure proper functionality and to prevent radio frequency interference from affecting your sensor probe:

TIP 1
Keep the probe cord far away from your ballast’s cords to ensure the controller properly detects climate conditions.
You may also wrap the probe cord and create a cone around the sensor head with aluminum foil tape.

TIP 2
Do NOT plug your grow light and inline fan into the same duplex outlet. Plug your grow light and inline fan into separate power strips and electrical sockets.

CLOCK SETTING
Adjusts the current clock time. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the time. Once you cycle through 12:00 each time, the units will automatically change to AM or PM. The clock time is located at the top right corner of the display.

CALIBRATION TEMPERATURE SETTING
Adjusts the temperature reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 2°F (or 1°C) increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -20°F to 20°F (or -10°C to 10°C) and will be applied to the sensor probe’s measurements.

CALIBRATION HUMIDITY SETTING
Adjusts the relative humidity reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure in 1% increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -10% to 10% and will be applied to the sensor probe’s measurements.

TRANSITION TEMPERATURE SETTING
Adjusts how gradually your device will shift between levels when triggered ON by the AUTO Mode’s temperature trigger. This will determine how much the probe temperature needs to increase to step up to the next level setting.
The higher the transition setting is, the wider the temperature gap is between levels. The lower the transition setting is, the smaller the temperature gap is between levels. If this figure is set to zero, your device will jump to your maximum level when triggered ON.
Press the up or down button to set a transition threshold between 0°F and 20°F (0°C and  10°C). When the sensor temperature first reaches or exceeds the high-temperature trigger point, the level will increase by one (exiting OFF Mode). Each time the threshold level is crossed, the level will ramp up by one until it reaches the level set in ON Mode.

EXAMPLE
In this example, your high-temperature trigger is set at 80°F, the OFF Mode level is 0, and the ON Mode level is 6. If the transition threshold is set to 0°F, then once the sensor temperature reaches or exceeds 80°F, then the devices will trigger to run at level 6. However, if the transition threshold is set to 2°F, then the devices will trigger to run at level 1 when the temperature reaches or exceeds 80°F. It will then ramp up to level 2 when the temperature reaches or exceeds 82°F, level 3 at 84°F, level 4 at 86°F, etc. From 90°F on, it will run at level 6, the level set in ON Mode.

TRANSITION HUMIDITY SETTING
Adjusts how gradually your device will shift between levels when triggered ON by the AUTO Mode’s humidity trigger. This will determine how much the probe humidity needs to increase to step up to the next level setting.
The higher the transition setting is, the wider the humidity gap is between levels. The lower the transition setting is, the smaller the humidity gap is between levels. If this figure is set to zero, your device will jump to your maximum level when triggered ON.
Press the up or down button to set a transition threshold between 0% and 10%. When the sensor humidity first reaches or exceeds the high humidity trigger point, the level will increase by one (exiting OFF Mode). Each time the threshold level is crossed, the level will ramp up by one until it reaches the level set in ON Mode.

EXAMPLE
In this example, your high humidity trigger is set at 70%, the OFF Mode level is 0, and the ON Mode level is 6. If the transition threshold is set to 0%, then once the sensor humidity reaches or exceeds 70% then the devices will trigger to run at level 7. However, if the transition threshold is set to 2%, then the fan will trigger to run at level 1 when it reaches or exceeds 70%. It will then step up to level 2 when reaching or exceeding 72%, level 3 at 74%, level 4 at 76%, etc. From 80% on, it will run at level 6, the level set in ON Mode.

ALERT ICONS
The alert icons are displayed at the top of the screen. Icons may flash when the controller signals an alert to notify you of any triggered function or alarm.

CONTROLLER 69 FAQ

– Q: What devices are compatible with the CONTROLLER 69?

– A: All AC Infinity devices that contain a UIS connector are compatible.
– If your AC Infinity device has a 4-pin Molex connector and an EC-Motor, it may still be compatible with the use of a UIS adapter to convert its connector to fit with the controller.

– Q: What does “level” refer to in the controller and app?

– A: The level represents the intensity the device is running at. This is represented by a digit from 0 to 10.
– Zero means the device is off, and 10 represents its running at its maximum. For fan devices, the level would be referring to their speed. For light devices, the level would be referring to its brightness.
Note that on and off devices do not have a level setting.

– Q: Why is my device is not turning off when the programming is triggering it to be off?

– A: The figure set in OFF Mode determines the device’s level when it’s triggered to be OFF in all other modes. Set this figure to zero if you want the device to turn off when triggered OFF.
– If this is occurring in AUTO Mode, check the points of your high and low triggers, which can all activate concurrently. Turn off any triggers that are not in use. If you are using the app, check to see if any ADVANCE programming is active, which can override any control programming.

– Q: Why does my device not run or run at low levels when the programming is triggering it to be on?

– A: The figure set in ON Mode determines the device’s level when it’s triggered to be ON in all other modes. Make sure this figure is not set to zero or the device will not run when triggered to be ON.
– If this is occurring in AUTO Mode, check the points of your high and low triggers, which can all activate concurrently. Turn off any triggers that are not in use. If you are using the app, check to see if any ADVANCE programming is active, which can override any control programming.

– Q: How do I stop my device from turning on and off too quickly in AUTO MODE?

– A: The figure set in the TRANSITION under SETTINGS will determine how the device ramps up in levels when triggered to run in AUTO MODE. Set a transition threshold X. For every multiple of X that has surpassed your trigger point, the device will increase by one level. The lower the transition threshold is set to, the easier it will be for the device to ramp up in levels. If set to zero, the device will jump to the max set speed without ramping when triggered. This may cause the device to turn on and off quickly if the climate fluctuates back and forth. Increase the transition threshold number to help smooth out the transitions. Check the points of your high and low triggers, which can all activate concurrently. Turn off any triggers that are not in use.

– Q: How do I set a minimum speed for constant ventilation, that would ramp up when triggered?

– A: If a fan device is connected, the figure set in OFF MODE determines the fan speed when it’s triggered to be OFF in all other modes. When the fan isn’t triggered ON, it will be considered OFF and so it will run at that minimum speed continuously. Once triggered ON, it will change its speed to the figure set under ON MODE.

– Q: Where is the best place to position the sensor probe?

– A: Place the sensor probe as close as possible to the hottest or most humid spot in your space.

– Q: Do I need to remove the plastic cap from the probe?

– A: Yes. You will need to remove the plastic cap so the probe can accurately read climate conditions.

– Q: Can I connect different-sized fans to the same controller?

– A: Please refer to pages 33-34 for details on adding more fan units.

– Q: Will I be able to use this controller with my own fan?

– A: The CONTROLLER 69 is only compatible with AC Infinity fans that use EC motors.

– Q: Does the controller retain its settings after power is shut off?

– A: Yes. If the controller’s power is cut off and powered on afterward, your settings will remain.

– Q: My controller isn’t pairing with the app. How do I fix this?

– A: If the pairing process isn’t successful, turn off your Bluetooth and re- enable it to try again. When starting the pairing process around multiple Bluetooth controllers, move your smart device closer to the controller you wish to connect the app with.

– Q: Why does the app ask me for location permissions?

– A: The app requires location permissions to find the relative position of your smart controller and communicate with existing Bluetooth devices already paired with the app. All  Android devices prior to system version 12.0 will require location permissions to be turned on for the Bluetooth scan to be successful.

– Q: Why do the port’s level digits on the screen occasionally flash when I unplug a device?

– A: The controller may have received electronic interference during the disconnection. To fix this, completely cut off power from the controller by unplugging all connected devices. Then plug them back into their previous ports and resume normal use.

– Q: Can I mount this inline duct fan vertically?

– A: Yes. The CLOUDLINE PRO can be mounted in any orientation, including vertically.

– Q: Will I be able to hardwire this fan to my own controller or thermostat?

– A: We do not recommend hardwiring or splicing our fan’s power wires. Such modifications may compromise electrical safety and will void this product’s warranty.

– Q: Do I need to use a power converter if I’m outside the US?

– A: This product’s voltage range is 100-240V AC. You may need a simple travel adapter to plug it into a foreign socket, or a power converter if your country uses a different voltage.

– Q: What is the CFM of each of the different fan speeds?

– A: Please refer to your CLOUDLINE PRO model’s product listing for its CFM specification.

– Q: I’m not getting enough airflow even after setting the fan speed to 10. What can I do?

– A: Bends in ducting will reduce your fan’s CFM performance. To retain airflow, you may straighten the ducting and eliminate as many bends as possible.

– Q: Should I use this inline duct fan as an intake or an exhaust fan?

– A: The CLOUDLINE PRO is primarily used as an exhaust fan, but can be used as an intake fan as well. You may use this fan as an intake fan if you need fresh air in your space.

– Q: I’m hanging my fan upside down in my grow tent, can I rotate its motor box plate?

– A: Yes. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the motor cap. Rotate it to your desired orientation and reapply the screws.
