Parts
The fixings for mounting the control unit and power supply are in the control unit packing box.
- 1 x control box
- 1 x power supply
- 1 x air temperature sensor
Mount the control unit
- Open the doors on either side of the control unit and push the 16mm bolts through the holes.
Place the control box into the top left of the rear panel of the S8, the bolts will align with the holes in the rear panel. Tighten with an M5 nut and washer on the rear.
Mount the power supply
The power supply sits on the outside rear face of the greenhouse, it is weather sealed so don't worry about the rain. Plug it into an indoors mains plug or an IP67 weather sealed outdoor plug.
Don't use an extension lead.
Use the fixings supplied with the control unit.
From the outside, push one M4x16 bolt (M4.16.C) through the lower hole marked in the attached diagram and fit one M4 penny washer (M4.PW) and one M4 wing nut (M4.WN) to the inside.
The diagram below is from the inside of the greenhouse, as though the rear panel was see-through.
Slide the power supply down onto the bolt you have just fitted using the notches in the top and bottom of the casing, the end with the UK plug is facing down towards the ground.
Push another M4X16 bolt though the top hole and notch of the power supply then fit another M4 washer and M4 wing nut to the inside.
Tighten both wing nuts to securely fix the power supply in place.
Connect the air temperature sensor
Plug the air temperature sensor into the top right port of the control unit labelled 'Temp'.
