Controller EL 1

Product detailed description

Gavita Controller EL1/EL2 Lighting Control in your hands Gavita Master controller is used to regulate your Gavita devices from the e-series range. It offers maximum control over the lighting in your growing spaces, easy and quick installation, and safe operation. Simply connect the controller to the ballasts using the T-splitter according to the wiring diagram, set the regulator on all connected ballasts to EXT (external control), and then you can leave everything to your Gavita Master Controller and the settings you choose.

This electronic controller is an excellent replacement for expensive timers and other external control and communication elements of lighting systems. The other two very important factors are the automatic dimming function depending on the ambient temperature and the emergency lighting shut-off function. Automatic dimming works by setting the maximum temperature value that is acceptable for your crops, and as soon as the controller detects that the actual temperature exceeds this value, it automatically dims the lamp output to a level that ensures a subsequent drop in temperature and continues to monitor this state and maintain it. In the event that your climate conditions completely fail, for example due to a ventilation system outage, you can again set a maximum critical heat value for this situation, the exceeding of which will ensure absolute shut-off of the lighting, and it will be switched back on when the temperature drops to the optimum you have set.

The controller can be connected to your home alarm for immediate notification.
Up to 40 Gavita e-series units can be connected to this device.
