819137023406 FAN COMPATIBILITY This controller is natively compatible with AC Infinity devices with UIS™ connectors. Older model inline fans with EC motors may be used with this controller using a Molex adapter. An EC-motor fan will have two cords coming out of its motor box for the power and the controller. Note that certain models that previously used DC-motors now contain EC-motors in updated builds.
PRODUCT WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Ensure your power source conforms to the electrical requirements of this product. Check your local code restrictions for additional safety measures that may be needed for a proper code compliant installation.
INTERFERENCE from MH and HPS LIGHTS Certain grow light models with HID* ballasts that do not use electromagnetic shielding will create an area of radio frequency interference (RFI). This can distort nearby frequency-sensitive components like internet lines and climate sensors. RFI can be emitted from the ballast’s cords or the ballast itself.
