AIR-2 Independent Temperature & Humidity Control

Custom Automated Products offers a full range of equipment for the growing enthusiasts. The AIR-2 controls the humidity and temperature within the growing area. A thermostat and humistat are combined to activate the exhaust fan(s) when the temperature or humidity rises to the set point. The AIR-2…

C.A.P.’s simplest device for temperature & humidity control.

O

VERVIEW

The AIR-2 controls (lowers) temperature by turning on an exhaust fan or AC unit.

External remote temperature probe is very reliable and it can be placed up to 30” from the unit.

Humidity is controlled independently of temperature.

The AIR-2 has two standard receptacles to connect your cooling device (fan or AC) and your dehumidifier.

The AIR-2 is a solid & reliable unit with a 3-year warranty!

PERATION

There are certain steps which should be taken to ensure a successful installation of your AIR-2.

1) Determine the desired location for the AIR-2. It should be at plant height and near a 120 volt power supply.

2) The external remote temperature probe can be uncoiled to place the probe up to 30” from the unit.

* NOTE: DO NOT BEND TIGHTLY OR KINK THE SILVER CAPILLARY TUBE.

3) Mount the AIR-2 to a wall or other vertical surface. The ventilation slots must be positioned on the top and bottom of the unit.

4) Plug the exhaust fan or into the top receptacle on the right side. (Maximum 15 amps @ 120 volts)

5) Plug your dehumidifier into the lower right side receptacle. (optional)

6) Keep the AIR-2 far from any CO

2 generator or other sources of high heat to eliminate faulty temperature readings.

7) Adjust the thermostat and humistat to the desired highest level you want to maintain.

8) Connect the power cord to a source of 120 volt power. * Maximum COMBINED load = 15 amps.

* NOTE: The AIR-2 requires “free air movement” to maintain temperature and humidity accuracy. The top and bottom of the enclosure has ventilation slots to provide air-flow for the internal humistat. We recommend using an oscillating fan or similar air movement device to provide fresh air for the plants, and the sensors.

P

RECAUTIONS

Do not expose the AIR-2 to water. Electrical shock may occur.

Do not disable the fuse or put in a fuse that is not rated for 15 amps at 120 volts.

Do not kink the capillary tubing! Your temperature will not read correctly.

Do not open the AIR-2. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

ROUBLESHOOTING

If you are having problems with this unit, refer to these troubleshooting hints.

Problem

There are no lights and no function at all.

Suggested Action

Check fuse or main power. Check the main power plug and replace the fuse if required with a 15 amp rated fuse.

If the fuse blows repeatedly, verify that the devices connected to the unit are working properly and that they do not exceed a combined 15 amps.

The exhaust fans rarely turn off.

You may have too much heat building up in your area or too small of an exhaust fan. Reduce the heat sources or increase your fan size.

Air Cooled lighting may solve the problem. Heat from lighting is the number one problem with indoor growing.
