Hydrofarm autopilot APCETHD Instrucciones página 2

BASIC DESCRIPTION
The APCETHD is designed to control humidity, temperature and CO
receptacles and a remote combination probe with highly accurate temperature, humidity and light
sensors. The remote combination sensor is designed to quickly react to changes in the growing area
and to resist EMI/EFI from electronic ballasts. The remote sensor can be placed up to 15 feet from the
controller.
INSTALLATION
1. Secure the unit to a wall.
2. Determine the best location for the remote probe. Place the probe in an area with good air
movement preferably at plant height. Avoid placing the probe in direct sunlight or under direct
HID lighting.
CAUTION: Do not place the sensor probe where it will come in to contact with water. The unit is
not waterproof!
3. The remote probe has a quick disconnect to easily remove or connect the probe. Secure the quick
disconnect to the unit by securing the QD screw to the unit.
4. Plug the power cable into a standard NEMA 5-15 wall outlet. A 120V power supply is required.
5. Ensure that all of the devices being connected to the controller have the proper voltage and will
not exceed the maximum amperage rating of this unit.
Note: Now is the time to customize your settings prior to connecting any equipment.
