Greenhouse Controls

VersiSTEP

Optimize the power of your VersiSTEP computer control with additional sensors.

Your VersiSTEP control includes a temperature and humidity sensor and an outdoor temperature sensor. Some growers add extra temperature and humidity sensors to average the readings in large zones.

Adding sensors increases the power of your control.

  • STEPsaver software connects your control to a PC. It enhances the control you have over your greenhouse and makes operation even easier.
  • Weather Station can be added to your system at any time. One Weather Station can be connected to multiple STEP controls. The weather station monitors outdoor conditions and uses the information to enhance your microSTEP's control.
  • Alarm Manager protects your crops by immediately notifying you when the conditions become dangerous and threaten your livelihood. Alarm Manager instantly starts calling the programmed phone numbers when the conditions reach your predefined level or if there is a power outage.
  • CO2 sensor Wadsworth's CO2 sensor uses non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to measure CO2 concentration in the greenhouse air. Its microprocessor based electronics require less frequent recalibration than most CO2 units.
  • Soil temperature probe For reading soil temperature, Wadsworth packages its proven semiconductor sensing element in a stainless steel tube that provides for fast, accurate readings while protecting the sensor.
  • Hot water sensor Wadsworth packages its proven semiconductor temperature sensor technology in thermowells for insertion into hot water heating pipes, and in compact rapid response modules for mounting directly on the surface of heating pipes. Extended temperature range versions are available on special order if your application uses water warmer than 180ºF/80ºC.
  • Light sensor (Pyranometer) Wadsworth uses silicon photovoltaic technology for light sensing. These sensors are accurate, durable, and economical. The sensors are protected in a plastic resin housing for indoor or outdoor use, and are cosine corrected to provide accurate readings at times of the day and year when the angle of the sun is low.
