Features & Benefits:
- Switch, dim and boost centrally - Now you have complete control over the light cycle and the output of your fixtures from one single point. Never reach to a ballast again!
- Easy installation - The complete installation is plug-and-play. Every e-series fixture comes with all necessary cables to install it on the e-series control bus.
- Simple programming - Setting up the controller is a breeze, with a 5 language text interface in plain language on a high quality OLED display.
- Crop safety - autodim - In extreme conditions the Master Controller automatically dims your lights, so your plants will survive the high heat.
- Crop protection – auto-shutdown - When cooling or ventilation fails, the Master Controller automatically switches off your lights, preventing imminent damage to your crop (or worse).
- Extra signaling LEDs - In a glance you can see the status of your lights and alarms by the blue and red signaling LEDs. No need to read the status screen. Alarms will even be remembered.
- Alarm notifications - The EL2 is equipped with alarm ports, that easily connect to your existing alarm system. You will get notifications when the power fails, a temperature probe fails of when there was an emergency shutdown due to a extremely high room temperature.
- Flip/flop - The two ports on the EL2 can be used in conjunction for the same room, or separate in alternating 12/12 cycle (“flip/flop”), enabling you to effectively have two flowering on one controller.
- Separate room temperature sensors - In flip/flop mode, crops in both rooms are protected by the auto-dim and auto-shutdown features.
- Sunrise/sunset - To prevent for example climate (humidity) problems at the end of the cycle you can program a sunrise/sunset period.
- Controls 1-1200 ballasts - Whether you use it on one light for convenience and crop safety, or in large climate rooms that have hundreds of lights, the EL2 can handle it! 40 ballasts can be connected to each of the two output ports, but by using 3 B200 boosters on each port you increase the output capacity to 1200 ballasts!
- Controls auxiliary equipment - Using the ECM1 modules, you can use the controller to switch equipment such as CO2, dehumidifiers and fans based on lights-on or lights-off status, even in two different rooms with opposite cycles (flip/flop).
