Light sensor reading 5% in the dark

#1

Hello,
I hope you’re well and having a great day!

I just purchased a pulse pro to calibrate my ac infinity controller as I have been questioning the accuracy of the humidity on the AC infinity controller and also for the ability to have more detailed information about my growing environment.

I have just set it up and the light % is reading 5%, in the dark but I have checked the room and it is completely sealed and no lights are on.

Is this a fault or do I need to calibrate the light sensor?

The environment the pulse pro is in is a Gorilla grow tent 3x3 that is inside a walkin wardrobe with a curtain over the doorway and I checked it at night with no other light on in the connecting bedroom.

Do you happen to have anything that generates IR light like night vision video cameras? I noticed my security camera IR light is picked up. Just a thought.

Hey,

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately not that I know of.

The only devices currently running in the tent are a Ac infinity cloudline t6 exhaust fan and two ac infinity cloudray gen 1 fans.

Outside the tent I have a ausclimate 50L dehumidifier and a ac infinity cloudforge t7 humidifier.

Thank a again for your assistance
Ben

After chatting with John on the sites support chat, we tried a few test and it appears that there is probably something wrong with the lightsensor and he has offered to replace it directly or return it to the distributor that I purchased it from.

I have chosen to have John replace it directly as I feel that’s the best option.

Just want to give a shout out to John for his friendly & excellent customer service, it was a pleasure to troubleshoot with him and he is a credit to this company.

Thank you! :smile:
Kind regards
Ben
