4. Product Overview

The Agrowtek RX6 is a robust relay-controlled outlet strip featuring six independent 120V AC, 15 Amp outlets. Each outlet can be individually switched on or off by a compatible Agrowtek GrowControl series controller. This design allows for precise and automated control of multiple devices from a single central point.

5. Setup

1. Mounting: Place the RX6 unit on a stable, flat surface or mount it securely to a wall using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure it is in a location that allows for proper ventilation and easy access to outlets and power cords.
2. Connect to Controller: Connect the RX6 unit's control cable (if applicable, consult your GrowControl series controller manual for specific connection details) to the designated port on your Agrowtek GrowControl series controller.
3. Power Connection: Plug the RX6 unit's main power cord into a standard 120V AC grounded electrical outlet.
4. Connect Devices: Plug the devices you wish to control (e.g., fans, pumps, lights) into the individual outlets on the RX6 unit. Ensure that the total current draw for each outlet and the entire unit does not exceed the specified ratings.
5. Power On: Once all connections are secure, power on your GrowControl series controller. The RX6 unit will now be ready to receive commands from the controller.

6. Operating Instructions

The Agrowtek RX6 Six Relay Outlet operates under the command of a compatible Agrowtek GrowControl series controller. It does not have manual controls on the unit itself.

• Controller Integration: Refer to your specific GrowControl series controller's instruction manual for details on how to configure and program the control of the RX6's individual outlets.
• Independent Control: Each of the six outlets on the RX6 can be controlled independently. This allows you to schedule or trigger different devices at different times or under different conditions as programmed in your GrowControl system.
• Status Indicators: The RX6 unit may feature LED indicators (if present) to show the power status of the unit and/or the active status of each individual relay. Consult the unit itself for specific indicator locations and meanings.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and connected cables for any signs of damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings (if any) are not obstructed by dust or debris.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place.

8. Troubleshooting

• Unit Not Powering On:
  • Check if the main power cord is securely plugged into a live 120V AC outlet.
  • Verify that the wall outlet has power by plugging in another device.
  • Check for tripped circuit breakers in your electrical panel.
• Individual Outlet Not Switching:
  • Ensure the RX6 is properly connected to and communicating with your GrowControl series controller.
  • Verify the programming and settings for that specific outlet within your GrowControl controller.
  • Check the device plugged into the outlet to ensure it is functioning correctly.
  • Confirm that the load connected to the outlet does not exceed the 15 Amp rating.
• Loud Relay Buzzing:
  • A slight audible click or hum from relays is normal during switching or operation.
  • If the buzzing is excessively loud or continuous when it should not be, ensure the unit is receiving stable 120V AC power.
  • Ensure the unit is not overloaded.
  • If the issue persists and affects functionality, contact Agrowtek customer support.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Contact Agrowtek customer support for assistance.
