HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

Method 1: Fixed mounting installation
Measure the holes for mounting and mount the product on a solid surface. Use a 6mm (15\64”) drill bit to drill two holes on the wall; then put the screw expansion tube(M4) into installation holes.
Next, screw the two screws (M4*20) with a screwdriver. Screws need to be away from the wall about 16-18mm. Slide the controller down over the two screws. Use the orange X’s on this page as a convenient drill template.

Method 2: wall-mounted installation
Ensure all wires are secure. Install a nail/screw and then insert the mounting hook of the controller over the nail/screw.

CONNECTING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Use these sensors to monitor the temperature in a set environment. With a temperature shutoff, the controller will automatically dim or shut down the lights if the climate room temperature becomes too high.

• Keep the sensor out of direct light so the measured temperature is accurate.
• Insert the temperature sensor for group 1 into T1 or group 2 into T2.
• The temperature measured by the sensor will be displayed on the LCD.
• Place the temperature sensor as close as possible to the sensor of the existing climate control system, so both sensors will measure the same temperature (A).
• Keep the sensor out of direct light in order to avoid disrupting the temperature measurement; if necessary, please use a hood (B).
• Insert the plug of the temperature sensor into the T1 or T2 port (C).

MAINTENANCE

1. Please do not open the controller, because there are no serviceable parts in it. If you open the controller, it will be void the warranty.
2. Do not use detergents, acids, or solvents to clean the controller screen.
3. Please use a dry soft cloth to clean the screen.
4. If your controller stops working, please contact the store in which you purchased the product.

TROUBLESHOOTING

After installation, please verify your installation was a success by cycling the lights on\off a few times, by setting ‘Over Temperature Shut Down’ to a low value like 85°F, and rubbing the temperature probe with your fingers, tricking the controller into an over-temperature condition and shutting the lights off. Then leave the probe alone, and after 10- 15 minutes the controller should turn all the lights back on.
