Operating Instructions
The Screen and Key Pad:
The figure below shows the main or home screen, of the controller; here a variety of current controller status data is
displayed.
Commissioning your Controller:
When your controller starts from a power-off condition it must complete a
4:00 minute warm-up to ensure the sensor readings are accurate before
attempting to operate any equipment.
This timer prevents strange operating conditions when power is cycled
to the controller from power outages or maintenance.
Power Indicator LED:
The GrowControl processor has an LED to indicate the controller is powered.
A “Flashing” LED indicates that the controller is functioning properly.
