Overview
Thank you for purchasing our BETA-8 CO2
Controller, which is a simple and affordable way to
control your CO2 injection device. Choose your
desired CO2 level and the Controller will maintain
that specified value. A built-in photocell on the
sensor will deactivate CO2 injection at night. A
remote sensor with 16 ft long cable allows close
replacement to plant canopy. Night Mode: the
Controller will turn off thhe output of CO2 device.
Day Mode:
a ) If the Fuzzy Logic function disabled, the unit
will OPEN the output of CO2 device when the
current CO2 level is less than setpoint, and
CLOSE the output when the current CO2 level is
greater than CO2 setpoint plus deaband value.
b ) if the Fuzzy Logic function enabled, the unit
will fully OPEN the output of CO2 device when the
current CO2 level is much lower than teh setpoint.
When the CO2 level is closing to the setpoint, the
unit will calculate and send PWM signal to control
the output of CO2 device. The PWM cycle is 5
seconds.
