Opsætning og installation

The iHub-4AC Power Strip is designed as an add-on module for the MARS HYDRO iControl system. It requires an iControl controller to operate.

Connecting to iControl

1. Ensure your MARS HYDRO iControl controller is powered off.
2. Connect one end of the provided RJ12 cord to an available RJ12 port on your iControl controller.
3. Connect the other end of the RJ12 cord to the 'CH1' or 'CH2' port on the iHub-4AC Power Strip. If connecting multiple iHub-4AC units, use the RJ12 T-Shape Splitter to daisy-chain them.
4. Plug the iHub-4AC Power Strip into a standard AC power outlet.
5. Power on your iControl controller. The iHub-4AC should be recognized by the iControl system.

Daisy-Chaining Multiple Units

For larger grow operations, up to 40 iHub-4AC units can be daisy-chained together. Use the RJ12 T-Shape Splitter to connect multiple iHub-4AC units to a single RJ12 port on your iControl controller, or connect them in series.

Betjeningsvejledning

The iHub-4AC Power Strip's four outlets can be individually controlled and programmed via the MARS HYDRO iControl controller and its associated mobile application.

4 Smart Outlet Modes

Each outlet on the iHub-4AC offers four programmable control modes:

• Manual: Turn the outlet ON or OFF directly.
• Timer: Schedule specific ON/OFF times for the connected device.
• Cyklus: Set repeating ON/OFF intervals.
• Miljø: Automate control based on environmental sensor data (Temperature, Humidity, CO₂).

Environment Mode for Smart Automation

Utilize the Environment Mode to enable intelligent automation. This mode allows each outlet to respond to real-time sensor data from your iControl system. You can assign dynamic control to devices such as humidifiers, dehumidifiers, or exhaust fans based on:

• Temperatur
• Fugtighed
• CO₂ levels

Smart Control for Adlite Bars

The iHub-4AC can also facilitate smart control for MARS HYDRO Adlite Bars, allowing independent scheduling of red, blue, UV, and IR bars to optimize light spectrum for different growth stages.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your iHub-4AC Power Strip, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Hold enheden ren og fri for støv og snavs. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring.
• Avoid exposing the unit to excessive moisture or direct water spray.
• Regularly check all cable connections (RJ12 and power) to ensure they are secure.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel for any repairs.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your iHub-4AC Power Strip, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Enheden tænder ikke: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the iHub-4AC and a functional AC outlet. Check if the iControl controller is powered on and properly connected.
• Outlets not responding: Verify the RJ12 connection between the iHub-4AC and the iControl controller. Check the settings for the specific outlet in the iControl app to ensure it's configured correctly (e.g., not in a 'Manual Off' state).
• Device connected to outlet not working: Ensure the device itself is functional and properly plugged into the iHub-4AC outlet. Test the device in a different power outlet if possible.
• iHub-4AC not recognized by iControl: Disconnect and reconnect the RJ12 cable. Restart the iControl controller. Ensure the iControl app is updated to the latest version.
