Maxibright Universal Lighting Controller 0-10V

Product detailed description

Maxibright Universal Controller 0-10V: control the Varidrive range from one place

The Universal Lighting Controller is a 0-10V control unit for growers who want to automate LED lighting. It controls most 0-10V dimmable lights, including the entire Maxibright Varidrive range - it sets times, adjusts output and simulates a natural sunrise and sunset. Integrated temperature and humidity measurement adds protection that automatically reduces output or switches the lights off if they overheat.

Programmable timing and output control

On the controller, you can set precise switch-on and switch-off times and adjust light intensity, so the lighting runs according to schedule without your intervention. Sunrise and sunset simulation ramps up and dims the light smoothly, maintaining stable light conditions throughout the growing cycle.

Temperature protection and environmental measurement

The unit continuously measures temperature and humidity in the space. If the set values are exceeded, it automatically reduces output or switches the lights off, protecting both plants and electronics from overheating. The backlit LCD display clearly shows the status and operation is simple.

Parameters

• Interface: 0-10V dimming
• Compatibility: most 0-10V dimmable LED lights including the Maxibright Varidrive range
• Timing: programmable on/off and output setting
• Simulation: sunrise and sunset
• Protection: automatic dimming or switch-off when temperature is exceeded
• Measurement: integrated temperature and humidity sensor

Which lights the controller is suitable for

The controller is designed for the Maxibright Varidrive range with a 0-10V interface. You can centrally control lights such as Varidrive 1000W or Varidrive 3.0 720W, which have an RJ port for external control. For the Daylight range with an iLink interface, there is a separate Daylight Lighting Controller.

Frequently asked questions

Which lights does the controller control?

The universal controller works with most 0-10V dimmable LED lights, including the entire Maxibright Varidrive range. You connect the lights via their RJ port and control them centrally. For the Maxibright Daylight range, which uses the iLink interface, a different controller is intended - the Daylight Lighting Controller.

How does temperature protection work?

The unit has an integrated temperature and humidity sensor and continuously monitors the environment. When the temperature exceeds the set limit, it automatically reduces the output of the connected lights or switches them off. This protects plants from overheating and lights from operating at excessively high temperatures.

What does sunrise and sunset simulation do?

Instead of switching on and off abruptly, the controller ramps up and dims the light smoothly. Plants therefore move between darkness and full output gradually, which better mimics the natural daily cycle. Together with programmable timing, this helps you maintain consistent light conditions without daily intervention.
