Coralvue Hydros Control4 0-10v Breakout Box

Description

The
Hydros Control4 0-10v Breakout Box
connects to the Control4 0-10v input port and enables you to access each of the four 0-10v input channels. You can use each input with simple switches (not included) such as a float switches, magnetic reed switches, buttons, toggles, etc. You can also use 0-10v based sensors on any channel such as for CO2, Humidity, Air temperature, etc.
This is compatible with the HarrysAquatics Hydros Switch Box, which gives you FOUR inputs on a single channel!
Features
High quality 2 meter (~6ft) cable, 24awg conductors.
Individual grounds for each input
Individually labeled inputs (#1-#4)
Included mounting hardware
There are two 5v terminals, but they can only be used with extremely LOW POWER sensors. The 5v supply has a maximum output of <150ma, so attempting to power an external 5v device that draws more power may damage the control.
When in doubt, use an external power supply.
The process itself of adding analog sensors is simple in Hydros, since the sensor’s datasheet will give you the appropriate scale and offset value to enter.
Here is an inexpensive sensor I am using for air temp and humidity, powered by the 5v port and providing signal via two channel inputs:

. Do not attempt to draw over 150ma from the 5v port.

connect (short) the 5v and ground terminals together. When in doubt, please ask!
Shorter wire length available upon request.
