Please take the following steps in troubleshooting your Temperature Probe.
· iGrow 100 Series Sensor Troubleshooting
- Check connection’s inside junction box (if one exists) for moisture or corrosion
- Check the PCB for corrosion, moisture or contamination build up.
- Check the line that leads to that box for cuts or any damage which will affect the sensors readings.
- Check for wire any interference sources (voltage, motors, inverters, etc….)
- Cycle equipment ON and OFF and see if Sensor Reading appears or Stabilizes
- Check the power supply P/S and see if dropdown voltage AC to 12VDC is accurate.
o Since incorrect voltage can discourage the logic within the device.
Try powering iGrow from a different circuit entirely (extension cord across the way or an inverter) and see if the sensor stabilizes
Sensor Reading Jumping Around and not constant.
Do troubleshooting steps first – when it JUMPS that indicates some type of Interference.
· Try toggling OFF outputs 1 by 1 until all are OFF to see if sensors STABLIZES.
· NEXT, toggle them ON to see if a power change creates fluctuation.
· Try powering iGrow from a different circuit entirely (extension cord across the way or an inverter)
· If controllers are Daisy Chained to one 12V source, try powering 12V independently. With an additional P/S
· How longs the Sensor wire (150ft max)
· Who spliced the wire?
· Is the shield grounded?
IF ALL ELSE FAILS THERE ARE 3 OPTIONS AVAILABLE
- Use a shielded cable
- Install a filter PCB at the iGrow
- Use a digital temp/hum sensor
