what's up fam in this video I'm going to show you guys two ways
to control any light with your controller 69 from AC Infinity
[Music]
since we are setting up the new grow room getting ready to roll in here that's one thing that we
did we lost some of the uh old school timers that we had so we were like how are we going
to control these lights uh luckily you found a cool way with AC Infinity control not only
our vipar Spectra KS 5000 that we love but also our vampire Spectra XS 4000 so you can control
two kind of Lights your schedule for dimming and stuff like that depending on what kind of light
you have and this works for other lights too um so I thought it was a great thing to show you
guys and something that's going to save you some money and just make it easy to control especially
if you already run a cloud Ray fan or have the controller 69 you can control any light schedule
and dimming function on certain models so on our 4x4 tent we're running the whole AC Infinity so
comes with everything you need s44 light pots the 10 exhaust fans everything you need so if you're
already starting with something like that you're already set because those lights already work with
the controller 69 the uis system but what if you have a light like our xs4000 that's a plug only
and it has a dim knob how can you control a light like that our vipar Specter KS 5000 which we love
is a big bar light it does support remote control through the rj11 port so this is a light you can
control in a different way that allows you to do the schedule and the dimming and everything else
the first style of light that we're going to cover is lights that have the control Port the RJ 11 or
12 plug it looks like a small little phone jack but if your light has this it comes in two Styles
one is for type A and that's for lights that use the pwm or 0 to 10 volt dimmers that's what we'll
be covering in this video definitely consult your manual and see what kind of control protocol that
your light uses for dimming and remote control because there's another type which is type B
which uses the same rj11 connector but it's based on resistor dimming so if you have a type A this
is going to be the one for you and you would want to pick up the type a adapter if you have a type
B that uses resistor dimming then you would want a type B adapter so make sure to do your research
and figure out what is your light controlled on and also AC Infinity has a great list of
compatible lights on their website so definitely check that out for updates and more lights that
will be compatible as they find out and list them on their website for our vipar Spectra
KS 5000 we'll be using the type a adapter in the connection and setup is super easy first
you want to plug in your rj11 connector into the input socket on your driver then you want to turn
the knob on your driver or if it has a control switch you want to change it to external or remote
control then you want to plug in the other side of the rj11 connector into the AC Infinity uis Type A
adapter and then plug that into any open uis port on your controller 69 controller 69 Bluetooth
Wi-Fi or 69 Pro and once you have it connected it's time to set up the schedule for your light
so the controller 69 will turn your light on and off based on your schedule and the brightness that
you select so the first step is selecting the uis port that your light is connected to I like to use
the app because it makes it a breeze but you can also do this directly from your controller 69.
on the controller 69 tap the uis button in the middle until you have the proper Port selected
and from the app just tap on your controller and then select the port from the top now that you
have the port selected hit the three line button on the AC Infinity controller until you get to the
off State on your app just simply select the off from the bottom left corner and you want
to set this to zero meaning the light is going to turn off based on the schedule that you set up if
you have it set to a higher value than zero the light is only going to dim to that position but
not turn off based on your schedule after you have have the off State set hit the three line button
again to move to the on or on the app just tap and switch to the on position and then you're going to
set the brightness for how bright you want your light to turn on in the on state so 10 is maximum
brightness so choose your brightness of what your plants need for the current stage of their
growth this is also where you'll go to adjust the brightness over your grow saying starting
out small for seedlings and then moving up to maximum brightness laid in flour you always go
to the on position to set the maximum brightness that the light will turn on to over the growth
after that you just have to set up the schedule so hit the three line button and move to the schedule
on you can set the time for when you would like the light to turn on to the brightness setting
that you have selected and then the off time is when the light will turn off same thing through
the app just set your schedule time for the light to turn on and off and it will also show a nice
countdown timer on how long you have left until the light turns off or on based on where it is in
the current cycle and after that you're all set up your light is now going to be controlled through
your controller 69 and it's going to control the brightness dimming and on and off schedules with
no needed extra timers or input and it also allows you based on your model to control your light
either via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but what if you don't have a light that has the rj11 port for a
remote control you can still control these lights through your controller 69 with the uis control
button the uis control plug is pretty awesome it lets you control any device on or off based on
temp humidity schedule or any of the other factors that you can control through the controller 69.
this means that it can switch on any device up to 1 800 watts or 15 amps so you can run a heater you
can run a humidifier cooling unit bands lights and that's what we're going to be using it for
to control our by far Spectra xs4000 to control a light with the uis plug all you have to do is
plug the light into the uis plug and then connect the uis cable from the plug back back to your
controller 69 setting up the uis plug to control your light on and off is identical to the steps
we did in the previous light setup with the type a adapter the only difference here is that anything
over a one in the on state will just simply turn the light on setting your off to zero and on to
one is going to trigger the light on based on your time schedule the key difference here is that the
uis plug cannot control the brightness but simply the on and off States so you do have to set your
dimmer on your light manually so when you turn your light on it'll be at the brightness you
have your dimmer set to and you will just adjust that throughout the grow based on what kind of
brightness you need for your plants and that's it an easy way to control virtually any grow light
that you may have in your grow room through your controller 69 Pro this adds some awesome features
because the controller 69 will remember your settings even if there's a power outage so there's
no need to reset your timers or your schedule if you lose power unlike our old mechanical timer
strips if we lost power then our whole schedule is thrown off so we'd have to go back and adjust the
time and make sure it was set correctly the type A or type B uis adapters are on sale right now for
11.99 at acinfinity.com this is an easy upgrade to control your light's brightness dimming and
schedule right through your controller 69 the uis control plug is 19.99 on sale now at acfinity.com
