5. Setup

5.1 Fan Installation

1. Identify a suitable vertical pole within your grow tent (16mm to 25mm diameter).
2. Open the adjustable grip clip on the fan and securely attach it to the pole. Ensure the thick rubber pad prevents scratching.
3. Adjust the fan's vertical angle manually to direct airflow as needed.
4. Connect the fan's power cable to an available outlet on the AC10 Power Strip or a standard power source.

5.2 AC10 Power Strip Connection

1. Place the AC10 Power Strip in a dry, accessible location within or near your grow tent.
2. Connect the provided power adapter to the AC10 Power Strip and then plug it into a wall outlet.
3. Plug your grow tent devices (lights, pumps, other fans, etc.) into the 10 independent AC outlets on the power strip.

5.3 Sensor Connection

1. Connect the Temperature, Humidity, and Light Sensor to one of the designated sensor ports on the AC10 Power Strip. Position it appropriately within your grow tent to get accurate readings.
2. If your kit includes the 3-in-1 Soil Sensor, connect it to its designated port on the AC10 Power Strip and insert the probes into the soil of your plant.

5.4 App Installation & Pairing

1. Download the "Spider Farmer" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
2. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create an account or log in.
3. Add your AC10 Power Strip device by following the in-app pairing process. This typically involves ensuring the power strip is powered on and in pairing mode (refer to app instructions for specific steps).
4. Once paired, your fan and connected sensors will be accessible and controllable through the app.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Fan Operation

• Speed Control: Use the Spider Farmer app to adjust the fan speed from 0 to 10 levels (0-2500 RPM). Select the appropriate speed for your plants' current growth stage.
• Oscillation: The fan supports 90° horizontal automatic oscillation. Activate this feature via the app to ensure wide-angle air distribution. The fan will automatically rebound if it contacts an object, preventing damage.
• Natural Wind Mode: The app may offer a 'Natural Wind' mode, which simulates natural breezes by varying fan speed, reducing plant stress.

6.2 AC10 Power Strip App Control

The Spider Farmer app provides comprehensive control over your AC10 Power Strip and connected devices.

• Manual Mode: In the app, you can manually turn each of the 10 outlets ON or OFF in real-time. This gives you instant control over individual devices.
• Auto Mode (Programming): This is the core of the smart control. You can set up automated controls for each outlet based on various parameters:
  • Time Periods: Schedule devices to turn on/off at specific times of day.
  • Time Cycles: Set devices to operate in repeating cycles (e.g., 15 minutes ON, 45 minutes OFF).
  • Temperature Control: Automate devices (e.g., heaters, exhaust fans) to respond to temperature thresholds detected by the sensor.
  • Humidity Control: Automate devices (e.g., humidifiers, dehumidifiers) based on humidity levels.
  • CO2 Control: If you have a CO2 system connected, automate its operation based on CO2 levels (requires compatible CO2 sensor, if not included).
• Monitoring: The app displays real-time data from your connected sensors, including temperature, humidity, light intensity, and VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit).

7. Maintenance

7.1 Fan Cleaning

• Periodically disconnect the fan from power.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the fan blades and housing.
• For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the motor housing.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7.2 Power Strip and Sensor Care

• Keep the power strip and sensors clean and free of dust. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
