VDL Climatron Pro – Multifunction Climate Controller with 5" Display

VDL Climatron Pro – Multifunction Climate Controller with 5" Display

The VDL Climatron Pro is a multifunction climate controller that centralizes the management of lighting, ventilation, CO2, humidification, and dehumidification in the grow room in a single device. Its 5-inch LCD screen with 800 × 480 resolution displays the air temperature, humidity, CO2, VPD, light intensity, and day/night cycle in real time, as well as the EC and pH of the nutrient solution. It comes ready to install with the 4-in-1 sensor, a 5 m RJ12 cable, a splitter, and a mounting kit.

Key Features

• Five devices under a single control: controls the lighting, extractor fan, CO2 tank or generator, humidifier, and dehumidifier through its four output ports.
• 4-channel 0–10 V light control: independent dimming per channel with 30 mA per circuit and a customizable name for each channel.
• Two lighting modes: Normal mode, with manual dimming by overall percentage and per channel; and PAR mode, with automatic dimming where the target PPFD is entered and the system adjusts the intensity (requires the PAR Meter sensor).
• 5" LCD screen with history: temperature, humidity, CO2, EC, pH, VPD, day/night cycle, light intensity, data history, and alarm history.
• Configurable units and calibration: EC / CF / TDS x500 / PPM x700 and °C / °F, with manual CO2 and water level calibration.
• Network connectivity and sensors: RJ45 port with IP and server configuration, and an RJ12 6P6C RS485 sensor port with a 12 V / 0.5 A output for a maximum of 3 sensors.

Compatibility

The Climatron Pro works independently from day one, as the 4-in-1 sensor (temperature, humidity, CO2, and light) is included as standard. The RJ12 port supports up to 3 sensors in total, so you can expand it with the following optional accessories: the VDL Sensor PAR Meter (ref. 600496), which enables automatic PPFD dimming mode and connects specifically to light channel 1 —only one PAR sensor is supported per controller—; the VDL Monitor pH/EC Climatron Pro (ref. 600493), to display the EC and pH of the nutrient solution on the screen; and additional units of the 4-in-1 sensor (ref. 600497) if you want to monitor more than one area. The replacement pH probes (ref. 600494) and replacement EC electrodes (ref. 600495) correspond to the pH/EC monitor, not the controller.

At GrowIndustry we only work with proven quality products and trusted brands.

Every item goes through a check before shipping to make sure it arrives in perfect condition and ready to use.

Your satisfaction is our priority.

1. Mount the Climatron Pro on the wall using the included mounting kit, out of direct contact with water (IP20 protection).
2. Connect the 4-in-1 sensor to the RJ12 port using the 5 m cable and place it at canopy height, away from the direct output of the light and the extractor fan.
3. Plug each device into its output port: the light into the 0–10 V channels, and the extractor fan, CO2 unit, humidifier, and dehumidifier into the 8 A and 2 A ports according to their power consumption.
4. Connect the controller to the 100–240 V AC mains and set the units of measure (°C/°F and EC/CF/TDS x500/PPM x700) and the day/night cycle.
5. Set the temperature, humidity, VPD, and CO2 setpoints, and choose the light mode: Normal for manual dimming per channel, or PAR to enter the target PPFD (requires the PAR Meter sensor on channel 1).
6. Connect the RJ45 cable to your network and configure the IP address and server to view historical data and alarms; manually calibrate the CO2 and water level when necessary.
