5.1 Setting Border Values (HI and LOW)

The controller uses two knobs, BORDER HI and BORDER LOW, to set the CO2 thresholds for activating connected devices.

Set BORDER LOW Value: Rotate the BORDER LOW knob. The value will flash. Adjust to your desired low CO2 threshold. Press the knob again to save and exit.
Set BORDER HI Value: Rotate the BORDER HI knob. The value will flash. Adjust to your desired high CO2 threshold. Press the knob again to save and exit.

5.2 Advanced Settings and Modes

The following video demonstrates how to access and adjust various advanced settings and operating modes:

Video 5.1: This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to set the BORDER LOW and BORDER HI values, adjust L1 H (Limit High) and L1 L (Limit Low) values, switch between Plant Mode and Human Mode, perform a factory reset, enable or disable the buzzer alarm, set the temperature unit (°C/°F), and adjust the altitude setting on the DANOPLUS CO2 Controller.

General Steps for Advanced Settings (as shown in video):

Preme o MENÚ button repeatedly until the desired setting (e.g., ADV, BUZZ, ALTI, CALI, °C/°F) blinks.
Preme ENTRAR to access the setting.
Xire o BORDER Low or BORDER Hi knob (as indicated) to adjust the value or switch modes.
Preme ENTRAR to confirm and exit. For some settings like Plant Mode (PL), Human Mode (HU), or Factory Reset (RES), you may need to press and hold ENTRAR durante 3 segundos para activar.

5.3 Plant Mode Application

In Plant Mode, the controller optimizes CO2 levels for plant growth. CO2 supplementation can enhance photosynthesis, increase growth and yield, improve water use efficiency, and strengthen resistance to pests and diseases.

5.4 Human Mode Application

In Human Mode, the controller helps maintain safe CO2 levels for human occupancy. High CO2 levels can lead to discomfort, drowsiness, and health issues in enclosed spaces.

9 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your CO2 Controller, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Sen enerxía: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the controller and a functional electrical outlet. Check the power source.
Inaccurate CO2 Readings: Verify the remote sensor is clean and properly connected. Ensure it is not placed in an area with poor air circulation or near a direct CO2 source/sink that might skew readings. Consider performing a calibration if available (refer to Video 5.1).
Dispositivos que non se activan/desactivan: Check that the CO2 equipment and exhaust fan are correctly plugged into the respective smart outlets. Review your BORDER HI and BORDER LOW settings to ensure they are within the desired operating range. Confirm the controller is in the correct operating mode (Plant Mode or Human Mode).
Buzzer Alarm Issues: If the alarm is not sounding or sounding unexpectedly, check the buzzer alarm settings (refer to Video 5.1) to ensure it is enabled and configured correctly.
A pantalla non funciona: If the LCD display is blank or malfunctioning, try power cycling the device. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
