Description
The PPM-B1 CO₂ Controller – The Protector is a high-precision carbon dioxide (CO₂) regulation system designed to enhance plant growth by maintaining optimal CO₂ levels in indoor growing environments. By ensuring consistent CO₂ supplementation, this advanced controller helps maximize photosynthesis, improve plant metabolism, and increase overall yields.
Equipped with an adjustable CO₂ set point and deadband control, the PPM-B1 CO₂ Controller provides growers with customizable settings to maintain the most efficient CO₂ levels for their specific grow space. Whether using a CO₂ generator or a tank and regulator setup, this controller offers three operation modes to ensure seamless CO₂ management.
Why CO₂ Control is Essential for Indoor Growing
Maintaining proper CO₂ levels is critical for plant health, accelerated growth, and increased yield production. In natural outdoor environments, CO₂ levels typically range between 300-450 PPM, but indoor plants thrive best at higher CO₂ levels, around 1000-1500 PPM.
By using a CO₂ PPM Controller, growers can:
- Enhance Photosynthesis – Increased CO₂ allows plants to process light energy more efficiently, leading to faster growth rates.
- Maximize Yield Potential – Maintaining optimal CO₂ levels results in larger, healthier crops with higher productivity.
- Improve Energy Efficiency – By using CO₂ only when needed, this controller reduces waste and lowers operational costs.
- Automate CO₂ Distribution – Removes the need for manual adjustments, ensuring consistent environmental conditions.
Advanced Features & Benefits
The PPM-B1 CO₂ Controller – The Protector is built for reliable, high-accuracy CO₂ regulation and includes a range of features to simplify indoor growing operations.
Three Control Modes for Customizable CO₂ Management
This intelligent controller offers three different CO₂ modes, allowing growers to select the best configuration based on their setup:
- PPM UP Mode – Designed for CO₂ generators, increasing CO₂ levels when they fall below the desired set point.
- FUZZY LOGIC Mode – Provides superior accuracy for CO₂ tank and regulator setups, preventing overuse and maintaining stable CO₂ levels.
- PPM DOWN Mode – Reduces CO₂ levels if needed, useful for specific environmental conditions that require CO₂ depletion.
Built-in Photocell for Daylight CO₂ Control
- Photocell sensor detects light levels, ensuring that CO₂ is only released during light hours when plants can actively absorb and utilize it.
- Prevents CO₂ waste during dark hours when plants are not photosynthesizing.
- Reduces operating costs by optimizing CO₂ efficiency.
Adjustable CO₂ Set Point & Deadband
- Customizable CO₂ range from 400 to 5000 PPM.
- Deadband settings allow precise control, preventing unnecessary fluctuations.
- Factory preset at 1000 PPM with a 50 PPM deadband, ideal for most grow rooms.
Plug-and-Play Design for Easy Setup

Installation Guidelines & Best Practices
To ensure accurate and efficient CO₂ management, follow these installation and safety recommendations:
- Mount the CO₂ sensor at plant height for the most accurate readings.
- Avoid placing the sensor near CO₂ injection points to prevent false readings.
- Ensure adequate air circulation to distribute CO₂ evenly across the grow space.
- Keep the controller in a dry area, away from water sources.
- Do not block ventilation openings, as this can affect sensor performance.
Warnings & Safety Precautions
To prevent damage or improper use, follow these important safety guidelines:
- Read the user manual thoroughly before installation.
- Do not attempt to repair the controller if it becomes damaged.
- Stop using immediately if the power cable shows any signs of wear or damage.
- Only use with compatible voltage inputs, as the output voltage matches the input voltage.
- Ensure proper ventilation in enclosed areas to prevent excessive CO₂ buildup.
