Now the most important iGrow1400 in the network is the one you choose to be the Site Master.
The Site Master controls all network communications and is the only unit that a Weather Station and PC can be connected to.
To setup your Site Master press Enter/Menu ->System Setup->Communications.
in Communications there are several editable fields. By default the text Disabled will be highlighted. Use
the + and - buttons to change this setting to Site Master. Now press the BACK button three times (or until you see the Main Status screen) to save your changes. That is all that’s necessary to setup the Site Master. Your Site Master is now ready to communicate with you network and PC.
To add a Zone, simply set a unit to Zone Master, You can set the Zone number, and choose to use it’s own
“Local setpoints” or the Site Masters “Remote setpoints”. Now press the BACK button three times (or until you see the Main Status screen) to save your changes.
- Local setpoints are the setpoints on the Zone Master itself
- Remote setpoints are the setpoints of the Site Master Unit
For Slave Units (also called Expansion Units), set to Slave Unit. Then set which zone the unit will be an expansion
unit to, i.e. Site Master Zone 1, or some other Zone Master. Since each zone can have up to 3 Expansion Units
you must also decide which expansion unit it is.
- Expansion Unit Outputs 13-24 | Expansion Unit Outputs 25-36 | Expansion Unit Outputs 37-48
Note: Be sure that Expansion Units are set up in sequential order. For Example, if you have only two expansion units be sure to set one as 13-24 an the other to 25-36. DO NOT jump over one such as 13-24 and 37-48. The LinkConn software will not function properly.
Note: Once you setup the Site Master, Zone Master(s) and Expansion Unit(s), you should label the front panel on each unit for easier reference in the future.
