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.
Follow these steps to ensure proper functionality and to prevent radio frequency interference from affecting your sensor probe:

TIP 1
Keep the probe cord far away from your ballast's cords to ensure the controller properly detects climate conditions.
You may also wrap the probe cord and create a cone around the sensor head with aluminum foil tape.

TIP 2
Do NOT plug your grow light and inline fan into the same duplex outlet. Plug your grow light and inline fan into separate power strips and electrical sockets.

2. Rotate the motor cap to your desired orientation. Reapply the screws. Rotating the motor cap will not void your warranty.
   

CONFIGURATION SETUP
INTAKE AND EXHAUST
This fan can be used as either an intake fan or an exhaust fan in grow rooms and larger grow tents. To achieve optimal whole space ventilation, the intake fan or opening - if not using a fan - must be situated at a bottom corner of your grow space. The exhaust fan must be hung (shown below) or mounted at the highest opposite corner possible.
Make sure the intake fan's airflow arrow is pointing towards your grow space and the exhaust fan's arrow points away from your grow space.

POWERING AND SETUP

1. Use the included UIS M-M extension cord to connect the fan to the speed controller's port at the bottom.
   
2. Plug the fan's power cord into a wall outlet. The controller will receive power from the fan to operate (EC Motor fans only).
   
3. You may use the included tie mounts, wood screws, and wire ties to manage the cords. Secure the tie mounts onto a surface using the wood screws or adhesive backing. Loop the wire ties around the cords into the tie mounts.
   

CONTROLLER MOUNTING

WALL MOUNTING

1. Locate a spot free of obstruction and secure the anchor into your wall. Twist the wood screw into the anchors.
   
2. Hang the controller onto the screw using the hole on the backside.
   

UIS^TM PLATFORM

The UIS^TM platform enables you to connect a single central controller with several grow devices simultaneously. By creating this fully integrated system, you can power and program all your devices together or separately for optimized grow tent management.
Your grow system can be regulated using your controller hub or remotely on the AC Infinity app (paired with compatible controllers), where you will have access to automation programming and climate data.
You can also connect your favorite grow light and outlet device to integrate them into the UIS platform using our RJ11/12 adapter and control plug module.

Central controller and grow devices will be sold separately and may still be in development at the time of your purchase of this product.

UIS^TM COMPATIBILITY

MOLEX ADAPTER*
Use a Molex adapter to plug inline fans with 4-pin Molex connectors into this controller. Plug the fan's Molex connector into the adapter. Then plug the adapter into the controller.

EXTENSION CABLE
Use male-to-male UIS extension cords to connect devices with female UIS ports at an extended range from your controller. Included with UIS-compatible devices.

EXPANSION SPLITTER*
The expansion splitter will allow you to connect 4 devices to a single port and can support additional splitters to create up to 3 tiers of expansion ports. Intended for exclusive use with AC Infinity controllers with UIS ports.

*Not included

ADDING MORE FANS

The CONTROLLER 69 PRO (sold separately) is built with four ports that enable you to power and control multiple fans at the same time. Compatible with inline fans with EC motors only. See image below for a sample configuration.

MOLEX ADAPTER
Use a UIS to 4-pin Molex adapter* to connect your fan to the Universal Controller*. Plug your fan's UIS connector into the adapter. Then plug the adapter into your controller.
