Package Contents

• AC Infinity THERMOFORGE T3 Heater Unit
• Corded Sensor Probe
• Extension Hose (4 ft. attachment)
• Power Cord

Setup and Installation

1. Placement: Position the THERMOFORGE T3 unit outside your grow tent or room. Ensure it is on a stable, flat surface and not obstructed by drapes or furniture.
2. Hose Connection: Connect the flexible extension hose to the heater's output port. The hose is designed to direct heat into your grow space.
3. Hose Routing: Route the extension hose into your grow tent through an available duct port. For best results, place the hose opening near the floor of the tent, as heat rises.
4. Sensor Probe: Insert the corded sensor probe into your grow space. Ensure the probe is positioned to accurately measure the ambient temperature and humidity within the tent, away from direct airflow from the heater.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC outlet. It is recommended to plug the unit directly into a wall socket rather than a power strip.
