That's a very helpful video there. It saves me some time in having to learn all this through trial and error as I just don't have the time to find all this out the hard way, as you probably did. So cheers for that. I just have two questions I'm hoping you can set straight for me. 1. What determines what times these segments start? On your chart the first segment starts at 7 am yet I don't see anything in the instructions showing that? It does say to press down for two seconds while TR 1 is displayed to start everything from the beginning of segment one. Is that what you did? Otherwise - how do you just start a particular segment at a particular time? 2. Can you just put it on continuous timer (TR 0) and just hook it up to the same timer as your light and solenoid? That would save you from the hassle of the setup as well as ensure that the CO 2 starts working at the *exact* same time as the lights. Do the settings still stay the same if it's turned off or do you have to redo it all because it resets? Will it work with a timer, in other words?
Oh boy its been a few mi uses since i played with this unit.. lol Just set your first segment to when you want it to start or lights on. If that's 10pm at night then so be it. First segment is start. but yes if you put it in continuous more you could use a regular timer and run it that way.
@@downwithprohibition7364 Thanks for the reply, mate. Much appreciated. So if I understood correctly, it only knows what time it is because you put in what time segment it currently is? So that you can’t set a specific time but only work in these two hour blocks? Did you end up waiting for it to be a specific time just so that you can set it up to start same time as your lights? Because it only gives you these two hour blocks to work with, you’d have to wait around to set it accurately, no? Also - so it definitely won’t reset when the timer switches it off and will still go back to the same set value when on? I appreciate you helping us out here. I’m about to lose a lot of my crop if I do this wrong because my dehumidifier broke. Long story. Thanks again, bud 👍🏼
@Ivares Kesner I set mine up at lights on time to make it easier so I didn't have to wait for it to roll around. When I first set this up i also found it really confusing that there was no place to enter the time. But as long as you setup your segments to have 24 hours you're set.. To answer your other question, I had mine unplugged for a week and it still had my timers set so I think you should be alright to lose power for a short period like 6 to 12 hours.
@@downwithprohibition7364 That sounds promising, mate. Thanks for that. I think I’ll just plug it into the timer and have it turn on along with the light and the solenoid. That way the light and the co 2 will turn on simultaneously. And the only downside will be that it will be off at lights out so I won’t see the nighttime PPM. Which doesn’t matter anyway. Sounds like the better option. Here’s hoping the 12 hours off each day won’t reset it Thanks again 👍🏼
You will get it my friend. Maybe I made my video more complicated than I needed to be... The easiest way to get it going is to make 2 segments. one segment for 12 hours at your preferred co2 level ss an example 1400ppm.. Segment 2 run time 12 hours lower co2 to a ultra low 400ppm so that it won't kick on. Thats if your running 12 /12 just adjust the times if you are in veg to 18/ 6 .....
Great video I was looking for the Manuel that came with the controller couldn’t find one I think your video was far more informative thanks for making this video DWP!
This video was very helpful I just couldn’t figure out how to actually get it to start on the right time that I had set everything in your video was awesome except that I couldn’t figure out how to just start it it seems so stupid that I couldn’t figure that out.Your video was extremely helpful and I thank you very much
No problem if you are having any issues i just helped another fella Ivares Kesner in the comments with an easier way to set it up if you are having difficulties.
I got this unit today and it was very easy to set up with this video. I use it in a grow room with various tents and a 4 burner propane generator, the sensor is VERY slow to change and at resting over 300 ppm different from an independent CO2 monitor, the Inkbirdplus. When CO2 concentrations are dropping, there is a huge lag on the controller in comparison to the Inkbirdplus. I’ve run the Inkbirdplus next to an Autopilot F90, and they pretty well measured equally. I wonder if this is a defective sensor..
Yeah well it does read pretty slow i will say that. You can calibrate the meter to match up with your other meter. There could be up to a 5% error rate but a 300ppm difference exceed that. Check with inkbird and see what they have to say but you may have a defective sensor there.
For instructional purposes I don’t know why you don’t start out segment one at midnight I don’t know how the controller itself understands what time of day it is I’m very confused
This is a fantastic video, we bought one of these for our florist's cooler and the instructions are nearly unintelligible. Inkbird should be paying you for clarifying their poor attempt at instructions; we were about to send ours back because we couldn't figure out why it was so unstable or how even tell what was set on it and what wasn't. The instructions strike me as written by one of the engineers that worked on the unit and the low level programming, so they probably make sense to them, but are just about useless for your average person that doesn't work in their cryptic naming conventions daily.

I don't have a lot of time to spend fiddling with this stuff, I just need it to work and move on to my next task.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I use quite a few of these controllers, for the most part they are all the same style. This one seemed a bit more difficult than the others, I will admit I was banging my head off the wall by hour 3. You really have to read every page about 76 times to let the data fully soak in haha.. let me tell yeah I would not want to be the guy who tackles that user manual though lol I would be bald in a week 😅 If I had any suggestions for the company I would suggest a lot of pictures and less writing.Maybe something online that is easier to follow along..... I can say though that I have never had an inkind product fail on me in several years of using their products.
On the side of the unit theres p1 and p2? Whats the difference? Can i use both at the same time ? What are they for? Should one sensor be used on a particular p or can they go in any of the two. Thnx!
Sorry man I misread your comment. I just tried it on p2 and it works just like it does on p1.. im not sure why there are 2 ports. I have just always used port one lol I don't think you could use 2 sensors at a time though. Good question.
@@downwithprohibition7364hey man, I ordered it and the instructions are so overwhelming, I searched for an instruction in German and I found nothing. Can you help me please? I want to use an exhaust fan in a mushroom fruiting chamber with high humidity (85 to 92% humidity). I want that the fan turns ON on more than 5000pm and the fan should turn off when it is below 5000ppm. Can you explain me how to calibrate this? I know that I have to use WORK2 and P2 for the sensor. But which mode I have to use ?
Hey question for anyone who is having issues with the sensor reading high. wouldnt go lower than 1100 ppm for my grow room with all the air vented out fan on high. I held the up and down button down and got to a 2nd menu. I left the top line at 3 and the second line i put to 850. Now the sensor reads comfortably in the low 600s. I cant find information on what this menu is and what i changed.
I just ordered the same as you but just realised that there are 2 different sensors and the B01 is suited to higher humidity environments. I run at 70-75% RH will my sensor still perform or have I ordered the wrong 1?
Great love it....and love one.. Take me forever to work setting. I'd have to watch this a few more times for sure.but a step up. Great review that would have given me a migraine.😜🤓😲😫
Thank you.. I hope I made it easy enough to figure out. I can honestly say I was struggling with one. I read the book front to back and went oh boy lol 😆. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Yes you are correct they have made some changes to the units and now the B01 is the recommended product for greenhouses and agriculture. I am not sure if they ran in to issues with the S01 model I currently have or what. I was told from the rep that the S01 was good for up to %75 but now it seems that both the S01 and the B01 are rated for 80% humidity. At the time believe the B01 was rated even higher than 80plus and now they are both 80% Leaves me a bit puzzled on the actual difference now between the 2 sensors. Maybe with the B01 being sealed up so well the readings were just far too slow, not sure why it was bumped down . I am going to reach out to my friend who works there and see if I can't get more info. I will update my description when I know more.
@@downwithprohibition7364 Yes, I have derived the only difference between the two is the faster response time of the S01, being 20 secs, as opposed to 120 secs for the B01.
I have a use case I'd love your advice on - think its solved with TR1 or TR2 but unsure. I want to keep CO2 below 700, but also run a 2 min exhaust cycle every 15 minutes. So, if CO2 is above 700, exhaust fan is running constantly until I get below 700. But even if it's below 700, I still want to run a 2 min cycle every 15 mins regardless. Is that possible with this unit?
Okay guys... this dude has explained everything really well here, but he appears to have missed out one very important key aspect in setting this up, via the ultra confusing 🤔 instruction book written in Chinese English!. A few dudes including myself have posed the question being, how on earth do we actually find the real current time reference in order to ascertain exactly where our chosen segment starts?... as this device has no actual RTC (Real Time Clock) setting. Looking at this video as an example, it illustrates here that segment 1 is 7am - 9am. So if we want our cycle of Co2 to begin at that actual time, then how do we get the unit to start at that specified time & segment number... right?. Well here is the answer, the 12 segments begin at whatever time you initiate your chosen segment to begin selected in SSt, regardless of the illustrated times given here. These are only for reference or guideline purposes, as it is whatever we want it to be. So as an example, if you want your Co2 cycle to begin at say 9am, then all you need to do is this. At 9am real time or your current time zone, simply initiate your first segment by pressing & holding the set button on the front of the controller for approx 3 secs until the display begins to flash. Then go to the SSt option with repeated short presses of the set button & select your chosen starting segment setting number with the up or down arrow buttons, then press & hold the set button for 3 seconds on your chosen number until the display stops flashing. Whatever actual time you do this, (press & hold the set button for 3 seconds on SSt option) will be the exact beginning or start time of your chosen segment number in SSt. Then the remaining 11 segments will automatically follow on in sequence from there. It's as 'simple' (not) as that folks! 😄I hope this helps all those pulling their hair out 😖 over these mega confusing illogical settings!. Cheers🍻 everyone.
Have they got any plans to release a Wi-Fi model she can use it with the app i’ve already got the temperature and humidity controller would be fantastic if I could control everything from one place. I don’t know if they do a light timer they can be controlled in that up as well that would be even better literally everything in one place you could even use that timer as part of your irrigation cycle
I dont believe the company is still around but you would want something better. Look for a dual stage regulator, Milwaukee Instruments makes a solid one I could recommend. Hopefully Google dont block the link. milwaukeeinstruments.com/ma957-co2-pressure-regulator-with-solenoid-valve/
Why can't i have two 12 hour segments. Would that be easier to set up? I'm confused about how you know when the segment starts. Is there some kind of internal clock.?
No there is no internal clock. I just pinned a post to the top where I explain it a bit easier. This is a bit of a confusing meter to program. You can have 2 segments for 12 hours each one for on and one for off. But you would have to program it when the lights come on because you won't have so many segments to choose from..
@@dk1641 So to start it at 10 you would have to set your starting segment to 1 and do that at 10am. You will see one of the options says starting segments.
@down with prohibition Regarding time, does the segment time apply only if you ply it in at 7am? I am using it, turned it on at noon at it was at segment 1 rather than 3 And I'm assuming when programming you have 12 hours set at 1200ppm and 12 hours at under average room ppm (for me that's 400ppm) 300ppm
Ok... what you need to do is set the controller so that your preset target PPM is LOWER than the actual current Co2 level displayed. Then the work 2 will trip in. Also make sure that the CD setting (work 2 difference) is at a low value. This is because the controller adds the CD setting value to your current PPM level. So as an example, if current preset PPM is at 400 PPM & CD value is set to 50, then the controller will only activate work 2 when the current displayed PPM level is at 450... i.e. 400 current + the 50 value stored in the CD setting option. Hope this helps, cheers.
Hey , just curious I'm going to be running a completely sealed room , with an exhaust that's just going to completely circulating the air within the sealed room. Is it necessary for me to have an exhaust plugged into the co2 sensor in order for it to work? , or can i use it with just the co2 regulator and that's it ?
Hey chuck, Yes you would want co2 turned off in the dark cycle. Just do what i did in the video. Setup a 24 hour cycle on paper. 12 segments each 2 hours long build your time table and then after it's all setup. set where you are in the in the segments. Set it according to your light on cycle. Example if you want lights on at 9 am be sure to raise your co2 at that same time to a desired level 1300 -1400 ppm.
Hi! Just needing help if anyone can help me set up my co2 controller to turn my fans on when co2 reaches 650ppm and turn them off when at 550ppm? For mushroom fruiting chamber.
There is no clock persay. You set up a time schedule then you set up where you are on that time cycle.. If you can't figure it out you could always use a timer. It is a fairly complicated setup process so I get your frustration.
your video is great. the inkbird is bird shit. i have grozones in my other rooms. i will eventually throw the inkbird in the trash but for now i will keep in normal mode and put timer onto work1
If one needs a dedicated instructional video done by a third party to setup a simple device that tells a lot about the company who manufactured this POS. No thanks 🤮

@@downwithprohibition7364 so i have to set it at 10 in the morning. I'm sorry this makes no sense to me
@@downwithprohibition7364 can i call you?
can it be run on a timer with the light so it only comes on with the lights .
You can program it to turn on when your lights turn on. It is a complicated process to set it up as you can see in my video
@down with prohibition Regarding time, does the segment time apply only if you ply it in at 7am? I am using it, turned it on at noon at it was at segment 1 rather than 3
And I'm assuming when programming you have 12 hours set at 1200ppm and 12 hours at under average room ppm (for me that's 400ppm) 300ppm
Please see my comments above, (at the top) regarding exactly how to specify your start time of the first programmed segment. Cheers.
I cant seem to go back and program my work1
How do i switch back
The indicator light wont move from work 2
Is 1300-1400 The max they can take, alot of people say 1000 is good. I'm running a very powerful LED so I'm needing this to make everything possible.
How do you turn on work 2?
Ok... what you need to do is set the controller so that your preset target PPM is LOWER than the actual current Co2 level displayed. Then the work 2 will trip in. Also make sure that the CD setting (work 2 difference) is at a low value. This is because the controller adds the CD setting value to your current PPM level. So as an example, if current preset PPM is at 400 PPM & CD value is set to 50, then the controller will only activate work 2 when the current displayed PPM level is at 450... i.e. 400 current + the 50 value stored in the CD setting option. Hope this helps, cheers.
Hey , just curious I'm going to be running a completely sealed room , with an exhaust that's just going to completely circulating the air within the sealed room. Is it necessary for me to have an exhaust plugged into the co2 sensor in order for it to work? , or can i use it with just the co2 regulator and that's it ?
Does it turn off when lights out?
Hey chuck, Yes you would want co2 turned off in the dark cycle. Just do what i did in the video. Setup a 24 hour cycle on paper. 12 segments each 2 hours long build your time table and then after it's all setup. set where you are in the in the segments. Set it according to your light on cycle. Example if you want lights on at 9 am be sure to raise your co2 at that same time to a desired level 1300 -1400 ppm.
You are the man! Filling up a 20lbs tank tomorrow 👍
Hi! Just needing help if anyone can help me set up my co2 controller to turn my fans on when co2 reaches 650ppm and turn them off when at 550ppm?
For mushroom fruiting chamber.
I just got mine & I'm so lost lol
Just replied to your other comment. We will fix you up man
Do you perhaps know what is the difference between S01 and B01 C02 sensors?
Yes one is for higher humidity levels above 75% humidity.
The bo1 is the one suited for higher humidity
Thanks much
So can I choose S01 for my growbox?
@@yahyaazizi3772 yes sir it will work great for you in there
Where do you set the clock so it knows where it is? this is ridiculous
There is no clock persay. You set up a time schedule then you set up where you are on that time cycle.. If you can't figure it out you could always use a timer. It is a fairly complicated setup process so I get your frustration.
your video is great. the inkbird is bird shit. i have grozones in my other rooms. i will eventually throw the inkbird in the trash but for now i will keep in normal mode and put timer onto work1
Egg incubator warkin this. Bro
Why would anyone spend 200 for this crap when u can get a auto pilot or sentinel for like $50 more with a monitor etc and it's wayyyyyyyyy easier.
I'm so fn lost
If one needs a dedicated instructional video done by a third party to setup a simple device that tells a lot about the company who manufactured this POS. No thanks 🤮
