Hi everyone, I just got a new co2 generator and sentinel cppm4 controller and was looking for some advice. basically I have the stuff set up and functioning now its just a matter of fine tuning things. to start my room is 6x11 with 6.5ft ceilings. the room is completely sealed and has ac with the hoods sealed and vented with exterior air. I guess I really want to know where exactly does the co2 flow from the generator does it come out the top or does it fall out the bottom? also what is ideal for sensor placement? I know you want it at canopy level but how far away from the generator should you try and place it. at the moment I have the gen hung in the center of the room with an osc fan behind it to blow the co2 around. one other thing is with only 2 burners installed it will not reach 1500ppm I have to run 3 burners to acheive 1500ppm and then once the room is initially filled the gen will run for 3min and shut off for a 1min 30sec. is it normal to lose ppm that fast in this size of room or do I need to be looking for air leaks or is this how it should generally be? Im pretty sure its sealed up tight, you can open the door about a foot and let go and the vacuum will close the door completely. any tips would be greatly appreciated. also my ac unit is a single hose unit at the moment. I ordered a dual hose though cause I know its a problem but above situations were without running the ac and temps hit 93 so I know Im gonna have to run the new ac.

the ac has to have a vent out right? its prob sucking it right out.

It takes a lot of fine tuning to keep co2 in
