The low settings are for the fan to turn on, and the high settings turn the fan on. The on settings fan speed sets the maximum fan speed while in on or auto mode. Auto mode modulates the fan depending on setpoints and on mode runs at a constant speed

set high humidity to 56-60 and low to 50 (if you have a humidifier) or off. When the fan shuts off the humidity will raise because the plants breathe and the fan will cycle back on.
Set the high heat to 75-84 or so and low heat to off. If you have a heater Or just house heat that you want circulated set it to the temperature your house heat or heater would kick on

to turn an auto mode setting on or off I think you hold both arrows but it says what to do in the manual.

you will have to toy with fan speeds to satisfy how your setup works. I set my alarms a little outside my high and low settings so i know to adjust the fan speed if it is too high or low. I also keep a max/min thermo hygrometer in with the sensor so it tells me what’s going on

I know how to toggle between modes, right now I would like auto so the fan self adjusts however it seems like it doesn't turn up high enough.


“The low settings are for the fan to turn on, and the high settings turn the fan on ”. I think this maybe a type not sure.

I set low humidity off, I set high humidity 49 high temp 79

My tent temp is at 86 and fan speed is only a 5 its like it doest put enough fan on these? Any recommendations sorry

set high humidity to 55-60
set high temp to 75-80

no not a typo, the setpoints turn the fan on. in the middle of the setpoints the fan will turn off

when that fan turns off humidty will rise, and then the fan will kick on even if there is no heat gain

try it out it had me going for a loop!
The "on" mode fan speed governs the "auto fan speeds max speed. the "alarm" will over ride the auto setting if it reaches that alarm setpoint

THis is what I am trying to do with auto. I dont need alarm im using that eco system for my two tents. I love the input. Let me tweak. Im never going to go hydro hate the taste but trying to automate the fan. This looks like the best cheapest option.

After this I will do automated watering. Its not bad when there babies but big plants need a ton of water.

Let me try these setting and report back appreciate it. Is there a fan boundry setting where on auto it only goes so high? Want to make sure not missing it. Ill try these tonght!

Their “auto mode” was unfortunately developed by someone who doesn’t understand how growers need these fans to work and it’s really the only thing I hate about the fan. What I found, that works better for me, is to set every “auto mode” set point to “OFF”, set the alarms for the high temp and high RH to the values that you want the fan to ramp up to 100% when reached, then put your fan in “ON” mode and set the speed to the speed you want it to be at the majority of the time. This keeps the fan on at all times, at the speed you set it to, until the temperature or RH hits the alarm set points you set. Once one of those alarm set points are met the fan will ramp up to full speed until the temp/RH are back in normal range. The only problem with this method is that the alarm will beep when those set points are met and there’s no way to disable the beep. I’m tempted to order a spare controller box just so I can open it up to see if there’s any way I can tap into it to control it properly. If not then I’ll just desolder and remove the alarm speaker from the board.

This is where they fucked up when they coded the firmware. The “ON” speed should govern the “normal operation” fan speed and then the fan should ramp up in speed based how high the temp/RH is past the set points.

I live in an apartment and was actually just about to buy this exhaust. I have a 3x3 grow tent, but you’re saying that there is a beep? I’m trying to keep it as stealthy as possible.

have you tried it in auto mode using the fan on humidity high limit? set the fan to the speed you want in ON mode, go to auto mode and set that to 55-60. The fan will shut off, the plants will breathe and humidity will rise back. The fan will then slowly ramp up to the ON speed, then if it can't satisfy it will ramp up to 10 on the alarm set point

I was confused at how it worked at first too but to me it makes alot of sense

you can turn off all the alarm settings but to be able to use the alarm setting , it will beep if you want it to ramp up when things arent normal

always over size the fan if this is a concern, you can run a bigger one of these at a lower speed to make sure it is stealthy.. just dont oversize it too much

Well I have a 3x3 and this particular fan runs at around 300 CFM 32 decibels. That should be oversized enough right (I would only need around 25 CFM give or take)

It sucks cuz when you reach your "high" humid/temp the alarm will beep and the fan will slowly kick onto the highest setting. Then once the humid/temp drops to 1% lower than your "high" set point, the fan will drop back down to OFF, which will allow the humid/temp to rise again creating and endless cycle of ramping up fans and beeping alarms

so you just turn the auto fan mode speed up and the set points down
try 45-50% for high humidity and 62 % for alarm
set the fan speed a little higher if it is going up to the alarm setting

If it's beeping you don't have it set up correctly or you have a room that isn't controllable the way you have the ventilation set up

The issue for me is that I don’t want the fan to ever turn off. I like to keep at least some air moving through the tent at all times.

Have an oscillating fan, and it wouldn’t ever turn off. If you’re keeping something along the lines of 100 CFM in your tent it’s going to have a constant recirculating of the air.

I thought the same thing, then I realized it turns on and off alot because of the humidity set up
As soon as the fan shuts off, the humidity rises back up and the fan ramps on
it won't stay off for long at all

I got this working right now humidity is perfect. next to test when lights are on, this is the solution we went with. Setting auto high temp high humidity
