Aqua-X irrigation Controller is a pioneering and innovational hydroponic irrigation control system. This smartphone App based system can control up to 30 outputs (24V or 110V) and monitor the pH.EC and water temperature of nutrient. Water detectors for watering confirmation allow the system to send alerts to user when the watering schedule fails. With its incredible flexibility,everyone could easily automate their irrigation systems.

The system could control pumps by 110V Control Board and solenoid valves by 24V Control Board. When the massive control outputs, user could manage delivery schedule for multiple nutrients, multiple rooms and multiple zones.

A sensor board with EC/pH/Temp sensors is also available to allow user to monitor and log all the historical data of their nutrients. When the measured value exceeds your custom setting range, a warning message will be sent to your smartphone.

Free smartphone App allows user to monitor and control their watering schedules at their fingertips. Graphic interface makes multiple schedules easy to adjust and monitor. The innovational watering confirmation feature saves enormous loss by watering failures.

Here are some important things to consider when using the Aqua-X irrigation Controller

Each set of Aqua-X Irrigation Controller can correct up to 30 outputs(24V or 110V) and monitor the pH value, EC value and water temperature of nutrient.

There are two RJ12 ports for the Control Board. One is for 24V Control Board (6 individually controlled 24V outputs for solenoid valves), the other is 110V control Board ( 6 individually controlled 110V outputs for water pumps).The maximum number of connections to the Aqua-X is 5 pieces for either 24V Control Board or 110V Control Board. The Program Device Station (DSP-1 from Hydro System) is also compatible to the Aqua-X through the 110V CONTROL port. 24V Control Board ( 6 outputs each). 110V Control Board (6 outputs each) and Program Device Station (1 output each) can be used together but each Aqua-X can only control up to 30 outputs.

The Water Detector port looks identical to the Control Board port. Make sure not to mix them up. The Water Detector port is positioned between the Sensor Board port Micro SD slot.

pH Sensor and EC/Temp Sensor should be connected to Sensor Board ( AMP-2) and then connect the Sensor Board to the Aqua-X with a mini-DIN cable.

A maximum distance of 1000ft / 300 meters between the NFS-1 irrigation Controller and the devices to be controlled.

Follow all local and national electrical codes for installation requirements.

1. Aqua-X Controller (NFS-1)

2. Water Detector ( WD-1)

3. Water Touch Spot

4. Back Plate ( Bracket )

5. 12 V DC Power Supply

Determine where to locate the main controller. The controller comes with a simple to use DIN type bracket. Pull the 4 tabs outward to release the bracket from the unit, mount th bracket to a wall or surface, place the unit back on the bracket and press the 4 tabs back in to lock the unit in place.

Connect the plug-in power supply to the power ( DC ) connector on the far left.

Connect the 24V Control Board to the Aquo-X with a RJ12 cable going from the 24V CONTROL socket to the first 24V Control Board to be connected. Plug the 24V Control Board to the wall outlet for power supply. Press "Addressing" button, the Aqua-X Controller will assign an address to the connected Control Board in sequence. Use another RJ12 cable to connect to the second 24V Control Board. Repeat this process until all 24V Control Boards ( up to 5pcs for exclusive use ) have been connected to the Aqua-X Controller.

The connection of 110V Control Boards is similar to above processes but through the 110V CONTROL port

The connection of Program Device Station is similar to the 110V Control Board. The 110V Control Board and Program Device Station can be chained together with T-Splitter through the 110V CONTROL socket.

Connect the Water Detector to the Aqua-X with a RJ12 cable going from the Water Detector socket to the first Water Detector to be connected. Use the T-Splitter and a short RJ cable so that the first cable can continue on to be connected to the next T-Splitter (Water Detector) to be connected. Press the "Addressing " button, the controller will automatically assign an address to the Water Detector in sequence. Repeat this process until all Water Detectors ( up to 30pcs pe set) are connected to the main controller.

Connect the Sensor Board to the Aqua-X with a round headed cable ( male-to-male). Connect the pH Sensor and EC/Temp Sensor to the corresponding connector on the Sensor Board.

This unit has the feature of connecting the network for remote control. User can use a standard network cable for connection through the INTERNET socket.

The NFS-1 Aqua-X Controller is extremely easy to use. The backlit 128x128 LCD display will provide the user with the current conditions and access all settings. All settings are accessed by using the 6 push buttons on the front of the unit. The button functions are described below

UP / DOWN :The UP and DOWN buttons move the cursor up and down to select the item on the LCD display.
LEFT / RIGHT :The LEFT and RIGHT buttons move the cursor to previous page or next page, left item or right item.
BACK :The BACK button goes backwards to the previous page.
ENTER :The ENTER button is used to open the menu item to be changed as well as to accept and save the new setting.

Familiarize yourself with the function of the 6 buttons on the front of the NFS-1 Controller in order to be able to access settings, and to better understand how to use the NFC-1 Control Systems to its greatest potential.

Once you have connected 24V Control Board. 110V Control Board(s), Sensor Board(s) and Water Detectors to the NFS-1 Controller, we can start using the unit.

Connect the plug-in power supply to the power connector on the buttom of the NFS-1 Controller. NFS-1 Controller will turn on and boot up.
