Installation:
1. It is recommandable to mount the Temp probe
(the stainless steel cylinder) on a suitable
place, preferably +/- 1 meter above the fl oor.
2. Never install the Clima Control Basic near a
water pipe or drainage.
3. Mount the TechGrow Clima Control Basic to
the wall with the supplied mountingkit or to a
DIN-rail.
4. Make sure that the switch is positioned to
"OFF".
5. Plug the fan into the outlet of the Clima Control
Basic.
6. Plug the Clima Control Basic into an outlet.
7. Done!
Automatic functions of the TechGrow
Clima Control Basic:
Depending on the settings the fan(s) can be
controlled automatically. After enabling the Clima
Control Basic, the connected fan(s) will always
start at full speed (for 1 second) to guarantee that
your box will start rotating despite of how low the
Box Min is set. After setting the temperature, the
Clima Control Basic will try to maintain this
temperature.
Working of the Clima Control Basic:
The Clima Control Basic controls the temperature
in your area. When the temperature exceeds the
set + hysteresis, the fan power will slowly increase
until the temperature reaches the set-point or the
fan speed reaches the "MAX" value (whichever
comes fi rst).
When the temperature drops below the
set - hysteresis, the fan power will slowly
decrease until the temperature reaches the
set-point or the fan speed reaches the "MIN" value
(whichever comes fi rst).
In case of failure to the sensor the controller will
let the Box power increase until the "MAX" value
is reached.
Confi guring the Clima Control Basic:
Rotate the temperature button (top left on the con-
troller) all the way up to 45 °C.
Position the switch to "AUTO". The fan should
now start rotating.
Set the minimum fan power to the desired level by
rotating the Box Min button.
Now, adjust the set-point to 10 °C and set the
maximum fan power by rotating the "MAX" button.
6
Now set the desired temperature by rotating the
"Temp" button.
Also set the hysteresis by setting the right button
to the desired value (1.0 - 7.0 °C).
Ramping up from Box min to Box may take up to
2 minutes.
The adjustment rate of the Clima Control Basic is
calmer than other controllers so that a more stable
climate can be created.
A perfect adjustment can be obtained by playing
with the Box min and Box max.
Do not set the Box min too low to prevent stalling
of your fan.
This setting can be diff erent for every fan.
If desired, the controller can be overruled
(temporarily) to let the fan operate at 100%.
In order to do this, position the swith to "100%".
To continue at normal speed, position the switch
back to "AUTO".
Connecting extra sensors or other
devices
It is not possible to connect extra sensors to the
Clima Control Basic.
The only sensor suitable for the Clima Control
Basic is the Temp probe sensor which is
pre-mounted by default.
Also, the Clima Control Basic can NOT be
connected to other TechGrow devices.
Replacing the fuse
If a short circuit occurs by overload of the fan(s),
the fuse will blow.
If in rare cases the Clima Control Basic does not
operate, it could also indicate that the fuse has
blown.
In these cases the fuse must be replaced.
The fuse is placed left on the front side of the
controller.
Remove the fuse from the black casing by using a
fl at screwdriver.
Now, the fuse can be replaced by a new one.
One spare fuse is supplied.
Put the new fuse in the black casing and place
them back in the holder.
Rotate the screwdriver a quarter turn to the right
to close.
