  • Page 5 Lighting The IntelliClimate can control two light banks. It is a good idea to split your lights into two groups. Firstly, when using both banks together, it allows the controller to stagger the switch on times, so the power surge from the first bank has subsided by the time the second bank comes on.
  • Page 6 If this situation is not controlled, it will stop injecting CO and will revert to maximum venting (within temperature limits) to bring in as much ambient CO as possible. This will reset every new day period. *On IntelliGrow Ver 6.0 IntelliClimate Installation Guide (21 August 2020) Copyright©2020 Autogrow Systems Ltd...

    If the air con is forced on for the day period you can also force it on before the day period starts, typically 2-10 minutes. This cools the room down in anticipation of the lights coming *On IntelliGrow Ver 6.0 IntelliClimate Installation Guide (21 August 2020) Copyright©2020 Autogrow Systems Ltd...
  • Page 14 Fan 1 is running. This is useful if your Fan 1 is an HAF (air flow) fan. If your Fan 1 is an exhaust fan, tick the box to allow the IntelliClimate to reduce CO injection to avoid wastage.
  • Page 15 Certain growing environments may require that CO is extracted from the growroom. You can choose CO Extraction under the Functions tab. The IntelliClimate will run fans to bring levels to your desired set point. Humidification As the room cools down the RH will automatically rise. You can choose to allow humidification during the night period, or have it disabled.
  • Page 16 • Dehumidifier override - If the RH becomes excessive, the AC will come ON. If the RH continues to rise, the fans will come ON. *On IntelliGrow Ver 6.0 IntelliClimate Installation Guide (21 August 2020) Copyright©2020 Autogrow Systems Ltd...
