Smart and safe controller
The ballast and lights connected to the controller form a significant source of heat within the climatic room. If for any reason the air conditioning system fails to prevent the temperature in the air conditioned room from rising, the lights are dimmed or even turned off to prevent crop damage. The Sonlight Master Controller can be connected to a temperature and humidity sensor (in Follow Mode) or to two temperature and humidity sensors (in Inverse Mode) to detect the temperature in the room or multiple climatic rooms, included in the package. The controller offers the ability to set the temperature so that it will dim the lights and a temperature at which it will turn the lights off. This is a temperature safety feature of the controller.
In addition to controlling up to 200 interconnected power supplies, the controller can also use two external contactor modules (called ECMs). These modules can be used to turn on auxiliary equipment during light on or off periods (such as CO2, heating, cooling equipment, etc.). ECMs can also be used to switch on non-dimmable supplementary lighting, such as plasma lamps, fluorescent lamps. Auxiliary equipment can also be adjusted by the controller's temperature safety function.
Using innovative technology, the 4D Sonlight Master Controller will intelligently control room temperatures, turn-on times, automation, safety control and lamp dimming.
