TrolMaster Hydro-X Lighting Control Adapters

Lighting Control Adapter for the Hydro-X Environment Control System. Available in 5 different models.

Description

TrolMaster’s Hydro-X system can control most of the horticultural lighting fixtures sold on the market today. Most light manufacturers provide the ability to control their lighting systems using what known as a low-volt control. That low-volt control can take many forms and communication protocols. TrolMaster makes several types of lighting adapters (LMA units) that allow the Hydro-X to control lights using their low-volt control option.

Lantern lighting schedule is a lighting routine for vegging plant that you could find in any college grade horticulture book. It is as follows 12 hours lights on, 5.5 lights off, 1-hour lights on, 5.5 lights off, and repeat schedule. The 1 hour on in between off period fools the plants that stay in a vegetative growth state.

LMA-G is specially designed to be used with ThinkGrow Model-I and I Plus. The LMA-G needs to be connected with a lighting control adaptor to offer a group control function to the grow lights. Each LMA-G can control one group of lights./ Each light group requires one LMA-G.

The LMA-T works specifically with the ThinkGrow LED systems to provide two channel control, which allows separate control for full spectrum and second red output levels on the ThinkGrow LEDs.

The LMA-T simply connects to the lighting control ports Line 1 and Line 2 on the HCS-1. Once connected, the user can then set individual ON and OFF times and the dimming settings for the full spectrum LEDs and also for the second red LEDs.

The LMA-T then is connected to the RJ type lighting control cables where each of the LEDs are connected back to the controller in a daisy-chain configuration using plug-and-play connections.

One adaptor could run up to 256 ThinkGrow LEDs.
