Q: What if I need assistance trouble shooting a Titan Controls product?

A: Call our hotline at 1-888-808-4826 and our Technical Service Representative will assist you.

Q: Are Titan Controls digital or analog controllers?

A: Both! We use digital control boards on most of the controllers, but simplify the use of them by having analog (manual knobs & switches) controls to operate the devices. This eliminates the need to scroll through complicated electronic menus.

Q: Are the Titan Controllers compatible with each other?

A: Yes. They are designed to work together so you expand your system as needed. You may want to start out with controlling your lights and temperature and later you want to add CO2 and humidity control. Titan products will allow this expansion because they were designed from the beginning to be "expandable".

Q: What is the warranty on Titan Controls products?

A: The products warranty period varies based on the product Series. The Professional Series products have a 3 year warranty, the Classic Series products have a 2 year warranty and the Spartan Series products have a 1 year warranty. The warranty period will be in the instruction guide of each product. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only. Proof of purchase is required for warranty work.

Q: What if I need repair work done that is not covered under warranty?

A: We can help with that too. Call us at 1-888-808-4826. We charge an hourly service rate + parts and shipping to repair products not covered under warranty.

Q: Why do gardeners enrich their growing space with CO2?

A: CO2 is proven to speed up a plants growth rate, improve overall health and increase a plants yield. There are also many other benefits to plants, among them greater resistance to temperature extremes and other forms of stress, better growth at low light intensities, improved root/top ratios and less injury from air pollutants.

Q: What methods can I use to enrich CO2 in my indoor garden or greenhouse?

A: The two most common methods are using a CO2 generator/burner or bottled CO2.

The most common generator/burner uses LP (liquid propane) gas from a tank. We also sell a NG (natural gas) conversion kit. This allows you to hook up your generator/burner to the natural gas line in your house. The other option is to purchase bottled CO2 from a local supplier in your area and control its release into your garden area using a Titan Controls CO2 controller (Atlas 1) or short cycle repeat cycle timer with photocell.

It should be noted that there is no advantage to increasing CO2 levels beyond 2000 PPM for most greenhouse plants. The optimum level of CO2 for plant growth is generally accepted at 1200 - 1600 PPM.

Q: Where did the product names (i.e. Helios, Atlas, Apollo, Selene, Mercury, Oceanus) for Titan Controls come from ?

A: They are all names of Titan, Greek or Roman god's. In ancient mythology each god had a "purpose". The function of each Titan Controls products corresponds to the "purpose" of a god. For example, Helios was the 'God of Sun'. We felt it fitting to call our lighting controllers Helios because they control your lights, which provide your plants the "sun" that they need to survive and thrive.

Q: Can I use Titan Controls with other manufacturer's equipment?

A: Yes, Titan Controls gear is compatible with all other manufacturer's equipment currently on the market today. It is designed to interface with any equipment that's 120 Volts and uses a standard NEMA 5 plug configuration. Be careful not to exceed the total recommended amperage stated on the controller.

Q: What happens to the 'preferred settings' on my Titan controller if I lose power?

A: Titan Controls digitally based equipment has 'non-volatile' memory storage that allows the unit to retain settings due to a loss of power. The analog product line settings are not affected by a loss of power and will maintain dial settings.
