Lumatek Digital Panel - Controller PLUS 2.0 (HID+LED)

Product detailed description

Lumatek Controller PLUS 2.0 (HID+LED) - one unit for the entire room

Lumatek Controller PLUS 2.0 is a dual digital control unit that can control Lumatek LED luminaires and HID ballasts at the same time. With one panel, you can set timing, dimming and automatic temperature-based control, so you manage the entire grow room from one place instead of adjusting each luminaire separately. It supports a digital signal for HID and an analogue 0-10V signal for LED.

• Warranty: 3 years

Temperature control and automation

The controller intelligently dims the luminaires according to the room temperature and can safely switch them off if it is exceeded, protecting plants from overheating. The sunrise/sunset mode gradually ramps up and dims the light so the plants do not suffer light shock. The backed-up memory keeps the settings even after a power outage.

What it controls

Thanks to the dual signal, you can connect Lumatek LED and HID equipment under one controller - for example ZEUS 600W PRO or ATS 300W PRO via 0-10V and HID ballasts via a digital signal. Connection cables are purchased separately for connecting more luminaires in one branch.

The panel works in two independent zones, A and B. You can set each zone separately - either control two separate rooms from one panel, or combine two types of sources in one room: LED via an analogue 0-10V signal and HID ballasts via an RS485 digital signal. Each channel controls ballasts or drivers with the same power supply, so you can arrange the zones exactly according to the equipment you have in them.

Controller PLUS 2.0, or Master Controller 3.0?

PLUS 2.0 is a dual unit for LED and HID with a focus on timing, dimming and temperature-based control. If you work only with LED and also want to measure CO2 and humidity and control everything via a touch display, take a look at the more advanced Master Controller 3.0. Choose PLUS 2.0 where you have a combination of LED and HID.

Frequently asked questions

Can the controller control LED and discharge lamps at the same time?
Yes. Controller PLUS 2.0 works with two types of signal - digital for Lumatek HID ballasts and analogue 0-10V for LED luminaires. You can therefore connect LED panels and HID equipment under one unit and control timing, dimming and temperature protection from one place.

How does the controller protect plants from heat?
It continuously monitors the room temperature and dims the luminaires accordingly; if the set limit is exceeded, it can safely switch the lights off. In addition, the sunrise/sunset mode gradually ramps up and dims the light, so the plants do not suffer light shock. The backed-up memory keeps the settings even after a power cut.

What is included in the package?
The package includes the controller itself, a power adapter with cable, two temperature sensors with a 5 m cable, two HID control cables 5 m and two LED control cables. Connection cables for connecting more luminaires in one zone are purchased separately according to the type of equipment.

What are the controller's two zones for?
The panel has two independent channels, A and B. You can use them to control two separate grow rooms from one place, or separate two types of luminaires in one room - for example LED on one zone and HID ballasts on the other. Each zone has its own timing and dimming level, so both setups run according to their own schedule.
