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...

Page 20 Set points are user-defined. You can set your desired temperature, humidity & CO maintain an ideal growing environment. The IntelliClimate will “learn” how to use your installed equipment to be the most effective. The targets you see displayed on the controller are constantly changing as the IntelliClimate evaluates the most efficient way to control your room.
Page 21 This is done automatically as the IntelliClimate adjusts set points. You can set the target to a desired value and it will force the setting one time and then revert back to original set point.
Page 22 This feature can be enabled or disabled. CO targets are continually adjusting to meet the demands of the growroom. This is done automatically as the IntelliClimate adjusts set points. *On IntelliGrow...
