HID-1

HID Lighting Controller

Welcome to the future... The HID-1 HID Lighting Controller is the
simplest and BEST lighting controller you can buy. It is 100% digital
and programmable. The HID-1 features a 24-hour time-clock that is
extremely accurate and EASY to use. It also features a “Hi-temp
shutdown” to protect plants from overheating by disabling HID
lights AND “Hot-start” prevention to protect your HID lamps. No
other timer or controller can do all of that!

The HID-1 has been designed to control

supplemental lighting .

Mechanical time-clocks don’t allow settings

less than 15 minute intervals.

Other “digital” timers only allow you to set

a few cycles and programming them can be a

complicated process.

The HID-1 changes all of that!

Problem: The timeclock is not keeping the correct time.

The timeclock is backed-up with a long-life lithium battery that only
needs to be replaced every 5 years or so. If the clock does not retain the
time after a power failure, chances are the battery must be replaced.
The battery required is a lithium CR2032 3 volt.

Contact the factory for assistance.

Problem: How can I return the unit to the factory settings?

Under some situations, it may be desirable to reset the unit’s factory
setpoints. Press and hold the Down and the Enter / Reset buttons for 3
seconds. When the display says F.Set, press the Enter / Reset button for
3 seconds and the display should say DonE.
