Merkmale

THC series Temperature and Humidity Controllers are designed for intelligent control of standard dry-contact operated HVAC systems plus dehumidifiers in growing environments. Featuring advanced reheat and external humidity control options that are unique to indoor agriculture. Operate heating, cooling, reversing valves, reheat dehumidification, and standard humidity equipment using 24VAC control.

Integration with GrowControl GCX Systems
Connects to GrowControl™ GCX Cultivation Control Systems for operation from a central controller.

  • Monitor, log, and graph the THC’s temperature and humidity data.
  • Operate from an external canopy sensor instead of the internal sensor.
  • Schedule changes to the set points.

Backup Power and Stand-Alone Operation
The THC controller can operate off of the HVAC system’s 24VAC power source to continue operating in the event that the main control system becomes disconnected or loses power. The integrated temperature/humidity sensor, on-board clock, and internally stored set points allow the unit to seamlessly continue operating and controlling the environment.

AGROWtEK Temperature Humidity Controller - Features

Simple Operation, Powerful Control
LCD display shows local temperature and humidity, output status, time/date, and more. Settings are configured quickly and easily via the button-driven menus or from the master GrowControl™ GCX controller.
Easy installation with a reversible mounting plate for junction box installation or flush wall mounting and bottom cable entry where a junction box is not available. Standard terminal block wiring connections.

GCX System Integration

The THC can operate stand-alone like a traditional thermostat, or it can be integrated with a GrowControl™ GCX facility control system.

AGROWtEK Temperature Humidity Controller - GCX System Integration

Central Monitoring
When connected to a GCX, the THC controller will report back the current sensor readings and status of each contact for data logging and real-time monitoring in the room dashboard.
Contacts can also be manually forced on or off for maintenance from the GCX interface.

AGROWtEK Temperature Humidity Controller - Central Monitoring

Scheduled Set Point Changes
The GCX controller can send updated set points and sun-rise/sun-set times on any schedule to automate changes in the room environment set points. Easily manage the set points for each room or zone from the GCX system.

AGROWtEK Temperature Humidity Controller - Scheduled Set Point Changes

Control from Canopy Sensors
Send sensor data to the THC from canopy sensors in the room for a more accurate control of the environment. If the canopy sensors become unavailable or the connection to the GCX is lost, the THC reverts to the internal sensor for control.
