CEA-pro is an affordable environment monitoring and control system developed by
growers for growers. At last, small to medium sized growers can use a powerful
computer based monitoring and control system to increase yields and improve
profits!
Overview
CEA-pro is a computer based environment monitoring, logging, and control system.
Environmental sensors measure conditions. The output of these sensors is read by
the computer software, is logged, and displayed. You determine a virtually
unlimited number of set points for each type of condition. When these set points
are reached, the software sends a signal to the CEA-pro controller. This
controller opens and closes relay switches. These switches turn on or off your
equipment (such as heaters, fans, irrigation, etc). The computer stays connected
at all times and works along with existing controllers. In addition, you
determine thresholds for conditions, if these thresholds are exceeded, the
system sends alerts to notify you of potentially dangerous growing conditions.
Environmental history can be displayed graphically or exported to any popular PC
software program.
Environmental Sensors
The system uses environmental sensors for temperature, relative humidity, root
or floor zone temperature, CO2, and light. The output of these sensors is read
by the computer software. Temperature can be measured either in degrees F or C
in the range of 22-122F. Relative humidity is measured from 0-100%. Root or
floor zone temperature is measured from 22-122 F. CO2 is measured from 0-2000
ppm. Light is measure in Klux from 0-150 Klux.
CEA-pro Software
The CEA-pro software is Microsoft Windows based. It is designed to be easy to
set up, use, and change settings. The screen shot below shows the control panel
for a typical environment. Click Here For

Environments
The software allows you to set up as many as 256 environments on a single
computer. Each environment is displayed and logged within a main window.
Environment Settings
Each environment has it's own settings such as name, conditions that are
monitored and controlled, etc. Each setting type has set points.
Environment History
All of the conditions and controls status are captured at a user defined
interval. This allows you to graphically view what happened in each environment
over time. You can also export this data to any program (such as Microsoft
Excel) that can import comma separated values (.csv) files. This history can
also be proactively sent or "pushed" to you via a text message or
email.
Environment Alerts
By setting the alert thresholds for each condition, you can be alerted when
conditions exceed the user defined thresholds. The alerts can be directed to an
alarm, a phone call, a text message to a portable device (phone, PDA, PocketPC),
or an email.
Relay Switches
The CEA-pro controller ships with 20 amp relay switches. 30 amp switches are
also available. CEA-pro Version 3.0.16 provides 16 user configurable switches.
Switches can be user configured to control: Heater 1, Heater 2, Root Zone
Heater, Dehumidification, Humidification, 4 Cooling Stages, CO2, Irrigation
Zones, HID Lighting, Alarm.
CEA-pro comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Sensors are warranted for 1
year and the controller is warranted for 5 years. CEA-pro comes in 2 versions.
Hobby growers who need 8 relay switches typically use the Hobby version 3.0.8.
Professional growers who need 16 relay switches typically use the professional
version 3.0.16.
