I have three s8, three s6 and 3 s4. Love them continually running. Soo quiet

If I may add, I just learned how to calibrate my unit and what a difference that made to my plants and my fan not constantly running.
It’s in the owners manual and pretty straight forward on how to do it. Just wanted to chime in with this advice. Thanks! Oh and an owner of a t4, couldn’t be happier

I just glanced through my user manual, and I didn’t see anything about calibration. Which part of the manual is it in?

Just chiming in, I do love my T6, it is super quiet. The controller could have a few more options, I’m glad they did release an updated controller. Would have been nice to give us a way to update the firmware on the controller device to add or change features… but that probably is too much to ask. Interested in the instruction manual’s advice on calibration, as I didn’t see this in my manual either.

I bought the S8 to replace… well if I’m being honest, the kitchen exhaust hood I was using for airflow. I was absolutely amazed when I opened this! I own one other inline fan, a Suncourt model from Home Depot. I felt raped when I saw the differences! The HD is 6” and steel. 88cfm. Cost $35… so did the S8. Now I see th beautiful black powder coating and quiet operation- and it’s 3x as powerful (not that I needed it).
I wonder what the electrical is like in them; anyone have experience? I don’t see why they couldn’t be converted to use a microcontroller, potentially, for better control. From a purely speculative glance, all you’d need is a relay to switch the fan, it appears the only connections two the fan are two black (presumably AC +/-) and a green (presumable ground) cable. You can find aviation terminations and go from there… I will do this at some point if no one else has, but resources are too tight at the moment.

If you have the same manual, it is in the back of the programming section, pg 30.
You can cal the temperature and the humidity sensors!

OK, I see it. Pg 29 on mine, tiny section. I wonder what I could use to calibrate it against. My ecowitt seems to have an issue with radiant heat, but if I got them both away from the light, maybe.

I’m trying to figure this out too. My temp sensor seems on point, but my humidity reading on the AC Infinity controller seems off. Every humidistat in my room is telling me 45-50% RH, but AC Infinity is reading 60-63% RH. I’ve got a Caliber II humidor humidistat hanging next to the AC infinity sensor now and and it is showing 51%… sounds like I need to calibrate it. I’ve also read the humidistats often don’t last that long and the readings can go bad… I’m wondering if the case with mine?

I have an 8" TD-200 Soler and Palau ive had for 9 years so i may be in the market soon. Might grab their 8" for my 12x10 room. CFM is a lot higher than the TD-200. Like 300CFM higher.
Honestly surprised my fan is still kicking. Runs 24/7

I think if several agree, I would go with them.

Oh man! I have been TRYING to figure out how to set this thing for optimum conditions and what Ive had to do is just run it ON and change from 2 to 3 for lights out setting and 4 to 8 for lights on, depending on time of year and ambient temperatures. Its a PAIN IN THE ASS and Ive been, to no avail, trying to set the alarms and such to work how this thing is supposed to. I have an 8 inch booster fan for intake and the T8 with carbon filter for the exhaust and obviously the gauge to regulate the exhaust settings! Ive been DREAMING of a way to program this thing and so I am VERY grateful for this information!!!

Yeah, I made the adjustment, it was easy enough to calibrate down a couple degrees. Hopefully it’ll be a little more efficient with the correct humidity readings. I’m thinking about getting a companion fan to control airflow in and out of a lung room, so thanks for all the helpful info in this thread!

We been looking at that as well. Do you think their is an advantage to using a fan as opposed to passive intake? I haven’t had a chance to try to find info on how much air we could pull passively.

Just in case anybody was wondering how to calibrate the Temp/Humidity on their AC Infinity T-series sensors, here’s the instructions from the new revision user manual pg. 29:
And here’s the whole manual if anybody was looking for it. The old revision comes up when you search for it on google but didn’t have anything about calibration.

I don’t know about now but when I was working with humidity sensors in the late 80’s they were prone to going bad. Back then they usually were a porous plastic substrate with a printed carbon pattern on both sides. Water molecules would embed in the plastic and change the capacitive coupling.
Issue was other crap in the air would embed and permanently change the readings.
I don’t know what the current tech. is now.

Where did you hear that? I’m not sure why that would be the case.
Both sensors uses the same connection type. (4 pin)
Thanks for the info… I also have an Inkbird Humidity Controller and had read some reviews that said the humidistat’s in them are cheap and often fail. I use mine in a high humidity environment for edible mushroom growing, apparently none of them really like to be in high humidity environments all the time.
I do wonder if there is a way to clean or perform maintenance on the sensor… probably not?

As I understand it, this is a similar problem now. Not carbon, but gypsum? Maybe remembering wrong. But as it is used, is deteriorates and goes bad. This is primarily an issue with cheaper sensors, and supposedly with better sensors you can get longer use with better technology.
This is the case with soil moisture sensors, anyways. Which is really effectively the same thing, right?

You can replace the sensors I know that from speaking with InkBird,
But yea they don’t like super high RH and I’ve had problems with them not sensing/providing the correct RH.
I got a humidifier that has a sensor built in and its been a lot more accurate from my limited experience with it.
