6.4 Setting Follow or Inverse Mode (Aux Function)

The controller can be set to activate and deactivate all ballasts connected to it simultaneously. In this
manual, this mode will be referred to as the Follow Mode. The controller may also be set to invert the
output of its main and the auxiliary channel. This means the auxiliary channel and the ballasts connected
to it, are switched off when the main channel and the ballasts connected to it are switched on. An inverted
light cycle may be used to alternate light between two rooms in a 12/12 hour system. Such a system may
be used in the generative phase to optimize power utilization. In this manual this mode will be referred to
as the Inverse Mode.
Note: Always set the light interval to 12 hour periods in the Inverse Mode.
1. Press ENTER, the controller menu will open.
2. Press the UP/DOWN keys to locate "aux function" and press ENTER. The Aux Function Screen opens.
3. Press the UP/DOWN keys to switch between "follow" and "inverse".
4. For the Inverse Mode, select "inverse" and press ENTER. The output of the auxiliary channel will now be
off when the main channel is on.
5. Set the light interval to 12 hour periods (see section 6.3) to ensure both climate rooms are equally lit.
The selected ON/OFF period will be set for the main channel. (The auxiliary channel operates inverse of
the main channel).

6.5 Setting Temperature Safety Settings

When the temperature in a climate room gets above a certain value, the planted crops will start to degrade.
If this rise in temperature occurs, it is desirable to dim or shut down the lights in the climate room to reduce
the temperature in the room.
The controller offers the possibility to set a temperature at which it will dim the lights and a temperature
on which it will shut down the lights. Through its temperature sensors, it can sense when a harmful
temperature is reached.
To set the auto-dim temperature, go to section 6.6.
To set the shut-down temperature, go to section 6.7.

6.6 Setting the Auto-dim Temperature

Note: The default auto-dim temperature is set at 30°C/86°F.
Note: The auto-dim temperature cannot be set higher than the shutdown temperature.
Note: The auto-dim will decrease the light intensity to 50% over a span of 2°C/3.6°F. (Figure 13)
Note: Always set the auto-dim temperature at least 2°C/3.6°F above the temperature of the climate control
system. This will prevent the controller from interfering with the climate control system.
1. Press ENTER, the controller menu will
open.
2. Press the UP/DOWN keys to locate "auto-
dim temp" and press ENTER. The Auto-
dim Temperature Screen opens.
3. Press the UP/DOWN keys to increase or
decrease the temperature.
4. Press ENTER to confirm.
Once the auto-dim temperature is reached,
the controller will automatically start
dimming the lights. No auto-dim will occur
if the shutdown temperature is set at the
auto-dim temperature.
Note: The auto-dim will stay on until
0.5°C/0.9°F under the set temperature.
