3. Setup
3.1 Power Strip Placement
Place the GGS AC10 Power Strip in a secure location within your grow environment, ensuring it is protected from direct water exposure and excessive humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3.2 Connecting Devices
The power strip features 10 independent AC outlets. Plug your grow equipment (lights, fans, heaters, humidifiers, etc.) into the desired outlets. For smart control features, connect compatible Spider Farmer devices using the provided RJ12 cables and splitters.
- SF Series, G Series, and SE Series LED Grow Lights: Connect directly via RJ12 ports for remote management and dimming.
- RJ12 Clip/Inline Fans: Connect via RJ12 ports for precise scheduling, standby speed, and oscillation settings.
- Fans without RJ12 Ports: These can still be controlled via on/off timers through the power strip's outlets.
- Heaters, Humidifiers, Dehumidifiers, Supplemental Lights: Connect to any AC outlet for timer, temperature, humidity, and CO2-triggered modes.
3.3 Sensor Connection and Placement
Connect the included sensors to the designated ports on the power strip or via RJ12 splitters if needed.
- 3-in-1 Soil Sensor: Insert the probes horizontally into the soil to monitor moisture (VWC), temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC). Ensure good contact with the soil for accurate readings.
- GGS Temp Humid Light Sensor: Place this sensor inside your grow tent or room to track temperature, humidity, and day/night cycles. Ensure the light sensor on the side remains unobstructed for accurate measurements.
