Information

Dim and boost function

Now you have full control of the light cycle and the output power of all your fixtures from a single point. You do not need to turn on or adjust each lamp separately.

Independent light cycles on the EL2

Allowing to have 2 different and overlapping cycles to be programmed, for example: 12/12 on channel 1 and 18/6 on channel 2.

Easy installation

Full plug-and-play installation. Each E-series fixture is supplied with all necessary installation cables.

Easy programming

The Master Controllers are extremely easy to set-up. The two-line green OLED display is sharp and easy to read.

You can choose out of 5 different languages.

Non-volatile memory

All master controllers use dependable, non-volatile memory to store user settings. In this way you don't loose your settings during a power outage.

Independent sunrise and sunset function

Allows you to set the rise and fall time (0-30 min) to simulate sunrise and sunset. Now you can choose between 2 different times of sunrise and sunset between the 2 channels

Event logging

All master controllers now have logging functions for high/low temperature, last auto-dim event, last shutdown event and last power loss, including the event’s date and time.

Automatic dim function

Your lamps will automatically dim when your climate control is no longer able to maintain the correct temperature. These features will keep your crop safe.

Crop protection - automatic shutdown

In the event of a cooling or ventilation failure, the main controller automatically turns off the lighting, preventing direct damage to the crop (or plant fire).

ECM interface contact

For the Master Controller Gavita has developed an external contactor module ECM1. Because the Master Controller operates on a low output voltage, there for it needs an external contact module to switch auxiliary devices.

With the ECM1 you can extend the functionality of your Master Controller to switch auxiliary devices such as heaters, dehumidifiers and CO2 equipment when turning the light ON or OFF according to the hours set on the Master Controller.

Alarm contact

The controller has two alarm contacts labeled A-NC (normally closed) and A-NO (normally open). When the temperature is turned off, the sensor fails or there is a power failure. Both pairs of terminals can be connected to an alarm module that send you a text message.
