Troubleshooting
Problem: The unit does not power up at all.
Check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary. If the problem
continues, reduce the number of devices connected to the unit.
Problem: The
green
LED next to Light Delay Timer Set is
blinking, The HID lights are not turning on after a power failure.
The “Hot-start” prevention feature has been activated. The Light
Delay Timer allows time for the HID lamps to cool properly before
trying to restart them. The Light Delay Timer can be set by the user.
Problem: The display is flashing
Hot _ _ F
The Maximum-temperature protection feature has disabled the HID
light receptacle to keep the area from getting too hot. The air
temperature exceeded the user setpoint for Max Temp. The
green
LED for Maximum Temperature blinks On & Off until the temp has
dropped below the Max Temp setting. The display also records the
actual time that the fault occurred to aid in troubleshooting the
problem. Check ventilation equipment for proper operation. To reset
the error, press the Enter / Reset pushbutton. If the Light Delay timer
has not yet expired, the light output will not be allowed to turn ON
until the timer times out. (

Problem: The display reads
Err SEn
The internal temperature sensor has been damaged or is not communi-
cating with the unit. If water has been allowed to enter the sensor area,
the sensor could be damaged. If resetting (OFF / ON) the power does
not help, contact the factory.
Problem: I want to manually over-ride the Lights.
Press the TEST LIGHT DEVICE button for 1 second to activate /
de-activate the devices connected to the Light ON and Light OFF
receptacles. The Light timer will return to normal operation when
TEST LIGHT DEVICE button is pressed again. If the test button is
not pressed a second time, the test will continue until the next timed
light event occurs.
*Note: Activating the Test Light Device may also cause the Recycle
device to begin functioning IF the Recycle mode is set to Daytime.
Installing the HID-1
The HID-1 is simple to install, however we recommend reading the
manual before attempting to operate the unit so that all of it’s features
are fully understood.
1) Locate a suitable location. First secure the provided bracket to the wall.
Next snap the controller into place and tighten the (2) thumb-screw.s on the
top & bottom of the bracket.
2) The device(s) that will be controlled must be less than 15-amps @ 120V
/ 10-amps @ 240V COMBINED load. There are two outlets (receptacles)
on the HID-1. One receptacle provides power for your lighting or lighting
controllers. The second receptacle allows devices that are connected to the
Night receptacle to be activated during the Nighttime. Connect HID lights
to the Light On (Day) outlet so they run during the Day. Other devices like
dehumidifiers, exhaust fans etc. can be connected to the Light Off (Night)
outlet to be activated only during the Night when the lights are turned
OFF. Refer to Connection Examples for more information.
3) The unit requires a 120 volt, 15-amp power supply. Plug the power
cable into a standard Nema 5-15 wall outlet. The built-in circuit breaker will
protect the unit from overloads.
4) Verify all connections are secure, turn the circuit breaker to the ON
position and you are ready to go.
5) Programming the unit is simple. Become familiar with the unit by
customizing the setpoints for YOUR application. The following pages
explain the available settings and other special functions.
NOTE: *Note: Make sure the thumb-screws are in place before
attempting to use the controller. The thumb screws securely fasten the unit
to the bracket.
