AC Infinity CO2 Controller (Model AC-CTC7) User Manual

1. Introdución

The AC Infinity CO2 Controller is an intelligent device designed to monitor and regulate carbon dioxide levels within enclosed environments such as grow tents, grow rooms, and greenhouses. This controller integrates with CO2 output systems and exhaust fans to maintain optimal CO2 concentrations, supporting plant growth and environmental control. It features independent programming for two connected devices, allowing for dynamic adjustment of CO2 levels based on user-defined parameters.

2. Características clave

• Smart Outlet Control: Optimizes environmental conditions by managing CO2 output and removal.
• Independent Device Programming: Supports and independently programs CO2 regulators and exhaust fans for indoor grow settings.
• Dynamic CO2 and Fan Programming: Automatically activates in response to changing carbon dioxide levels.
• Advanced Programming Options: Includes precision cycles, night scheduling, and environmental data tracking.
• Sensor preciso: Features an advanced sensor for precise measurement of grow space climate and accurate readings.

3. Configuración e instalación

Proper setup ensures accurate CO2 monitoring and effective environmental control. Follow these steps for installation:

1. Montaxe do controlador: Select a suitable location within your grow space, away from direct airflow or heat sources, to mount the main controller unit. Ensure it is easily accessible for viewing and programming.
2. Connecting the CO2 Sensor: Plug the CO2 sensor cable into the designated port on the main controller unit. Position the sensor at a representative height within your grow space where CO2 levels need to be monitored. Avoid placing it directly next to CO2 sources or exhaust vents.
3. Connecting Devices to Dual Outlets: The controller features two independently programmable outlets. Connect your CO2 regulator to one outlet and your exhaust fan to the other. Ensure both devices are compatible with the controller's power specifications (up to 1100W total).
4. Acendido: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The display will illuminate, indicating the unit is powered on and ready for configuration.

4. Funcionamento e programación

The AC Infinity CO2 Controller offers various programming options to precisely manage CO2 levels.

4.1. Mostrarview

The digital display provides real-time information on current CO2 levels, set points, and operational status. It also shows historical data charts and target zone indicators.

4.2. CO2 Control Programming

The controller allows you to set target CO2 levels (PPM) and define a zone for activation. When CO2 levels fall below the target, the controller can activate the CO2 regulator. When levels exceed a set threshold, it can activate the exhaust fan to reduce CO2.

• Axuste do punto de consigna: Use the navigation buttons to adjust the desired CO2 PPM level.
• Configuración de zona: Define a CO2 range (zone) around your set point for precise control, minimizing frequent on/off cycling of connected devices.
• Independent Outlet Modes: Each outlet can be configured for CO2 regulation or exhaust fan control, allowing for flexible setup.

4.3. Programación avanzada

• Precision Cycles: Schedule specific on/off times or durations for connected devices.
• Night Schedules: Program different CO2 parameters or device behaviors during nighttime hours, which can be beneficial for plant respiration cycles.
• Alarmas: Set high and low CO2 level alarms to alert you to conditions outside your desired range.
• Seguimento de datos: Review historical CO2 data, including maximum and minimum PPM levels over time, to analyze environmental trends.

5. Sensor Technology

The AC Infinity CO2 Controller utilizes a Swiss-made sensor for accurate and rapid measurement of carbon dioxide levels. This precision ensures that programming triggers are activated promptly in response to environmental changes.

6. Mantemento

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your AC Infinity CO2 Controller, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Limpeza: Periodically wipe the controller's display and casinLimpe cun pano suave e seco. Evite o uso de produtos de limpeza abrasivos ou solventes.
• Coidados do sensor: Keep the CO2 sensor free from dust and debris. Do not obstruct the sensor's ventilation openings.
• Calibración: While the sensor is designed for long-term stability, refer to the product's specific instructions for any recommended calibration procedures if you suspect inaccurate readings.

7 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your CO2 controller, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Sen enerxía: Ensure the controller is securely plugged into a functional power outlet. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.
• Inaccurate CO2 Readings: Verify the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Ensure it is not placed in an area with stagnant air or direct drafts. Recalibration may be necessary if available.
• Devices Not Triggering: Check that the CO2 regulator and exhaust fan are properly connected to the correct outlets and are powered on. Review your programming settings to ensure the set points and zones are configured correctly.
• Problemas de visualización: If the display is unresponsive or showing errors, try power cycling the unit by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.

For persistent issues, consult the AC Infinity support resources or contact customer service.
