Mounting the iPonic 600

1. First, find a secure location to mount the iPonic 600controller. The area should be away from

direct sunlight, condensing humidity, water, rain, or extreme temperatures. It should be

mounted in an easily accessible location at the user‟s eye level.

2. Since the iPonic 600is equipped with a hinged door and a hinged access panel for easy service and

installation, make sure there is adequate workspace, especially below the controller.

3. The iPonic 600comes with a 115 VAC power cord. Make sure there is a power outlet within

approximately 6 feet. It is recommended that the outlet is not switched and is on a circuit that is

independent of any noisy, high power equipment. The use of a sealed outlet is recommended if the

power output is exposed to moisture.

4. Identify what type of surface you will be mounting the iPonic 600and use appropriate hardware to

ensure proper mounting and load bearing. Consider the additional weight of the external equipment‟s

power cords.

5. There are 4 mounting holes on the outside of the iPonic 600. Use the appropriate tools and

hardware depending upon the surface which the unit will be mounted on to.

Before you Begin

Temperature Control

With the iPonic 600TM you can program a cooling temperature target called a “Cool Setpoint” and a heating

temperature target called a “Heat Setpoint”. The temperature range between these two targets is called the

“Normal” temperature range. If the hydroponic grow room temperature is within the Normal temperature band

usually none of the cooling or heating equipment is on. However, some circulation fans (often called horizontal

air flow (HAF) fans) may be active to maintain air movement within the hydroponic environment.

Whenever the temperature within the hydroponic facility moves above the cool setpoint, or below the heat

setpoint (falls outside the Normal temperature range) the iPonic 600TM will enter cooling or heating stages to

bring it back in line. With the iPonic 600TM you can program up to six cooling and two heating stages. These

stages go from Cool 1 to Cool 6 and Heat 1 to Heat 2. Cool 1 and Heat 1 are the least aggressive with Cool 6

and Heat 2 the most aggressive. In your program you will determine what equipment you want to be active in

each of the stages.

When the air temperature in the hydroponic facility rises above the Cool Setpoint, the system enters the first

stage of cooling, referred to as Cool 1. If the temperature continues to rise, the system will enter the second

stage, Cool 2, then the third stage, Cool 3 and so forth. At each increasing cooling stage, more cooling will be

brought to attempt to bring the air temperature below the cool setpoint and within the target “Normal”

temperature range. Heating works the same way.

In considering the difference between each heating and cooling stage there is a variable increment in the

program which is the number of degrees between each heating and cooling stage called the “Stage Separation”

or „Stage Width”. Whenever the temperature rises 1 degree above the cool setpoint (700) then the iPonic 600TM

will activate the appropriate equipment to bring the hydroponic facility to the normal temperature range. If the

temperature rises 2 degrees above the cool setpoint then the controller will be active in C2 cooling stage. The

same goes for the heating stage when the temperature drops below the heating setpoints. In Figure 2.1, there

is an example with four cooling stages and two heating stages.

Deadbands

If the temperature is below the cool setpoint and rises into the first stage of cooling, some cooling equipment will

be turned on. This may then lower the temperature and bring it into the normal range. In order to keep the

equipment from oscillating, a “Deadband” is employed when the temperature is between stages. In Figure 2.1

the dead band is set at 1 degree so that when the hydroponic facility is attempting to return to Normal

temperature from C4 to C3 the controller will use a deadband of 1 degree to keep the equipment from oscillating

off and on. Now, when the temperature drops below the cool setpoint, the system remains in the Cool 1 stage

until the temperature drops below the Cool Deadband. The concepts that we described for cooling operate in

the same manner for heating.

Setpoint

You will be able to use up to 3 setpoints in a 24 hour time period. Within each day Setpoints are based on time

and temperature to produce an ideal environment. By placing setpoints during different times of the day you

can regulate the temperature within a range for target temperatures and humidity. When a setpoint is in effect

at a certain time length the controller will activate the necessary equipment in heating and cool stages to bring

the environment back to Norm. The same applies when the humidity rises or falls beyond the target low/high

setpoint. When one or more setpoints are used the second or subsequent setpoints will become the active

setpoint at the start time and the previous setpoint will end.
