Input Setup & Scaling - Agrowtek GrowControl GCX Instruction Manual

Input Setup & Scaling
Devices with inputs (DXI8, DXIO, VX8) require con guration to set the input to a custom scale or standard
sensor o ering (such as SXM moisture sensors.)
Each input should be named to describe what is connected to the input, then the input should be con g-
ured to match the type of sensor connected to the input.
To con gure an Input:
1. Select the output (or input) channel to edit.
2. Enter the new name.
3. Press the save button to store the new name in system memory.
4. Select discrete or analog sensor type. On/O sensors are discrete, sensors which report a value are analog.
5. Select a standard or custom sensor type.
Custom sensor Type:
6. Select millivolts or milliamps scale (must match jumpers in the DX input device.)
7. To con gure a custom scale, enable the switch and set the Ymin and Ymax scale values.

1. Input Selection Select an input number to edit the name and settings.
2. Input Name Enter a name to describe the input channel.
3. Input Type Select between a discrete or analog type of sensor on the input.
4. Sensor Type Select a standard sensor or a custom sensor type.
5. Custom Scale Enable a custom scale on the input instead of voltage (or current) readings.
6. Ymin Custom scale minimum value.
7. Ymax Custom scale maximum value.
8. Input Units Con gure to match module jumper settings for voltage or current modes.
Voltage (millivolts) is default unless jumpers have been set for current mode.
