Gavita Master EL2 lighting controller

Using a Gavita Master controller to control Gavita e-series modules gives you maximum control, ease of use, safety, and easy installation. Simply connect the controller cables to your module using the included T-splitter, set the modules to EXT (external control), connect the module and controller to the power supply, and you’re ready to use your lighting system.

The controller can turn all modules connected to it on and off (the EL2 model can control two separate rooms with up to 40 ballasts in each, or just one room with up to 80 ballasts), set the desired light output level of the modules (as a percentage or absolute value), and even simulate sunrise and sunset by gradually turning the lamps on and off. 

Two of the controller’s important functions are automatic light dimming and emergency system shutdown. When the temperature in the room rises above the set parameters, this can cause serious, sometimes irreversible damage to your crop. The temperature sensor detects this and reduces the light output to maintain the safe temperature limits you have set. A warning LED on the display will alert you if this happens, and you can take steps to address the problem. If, for any reason, temperature control in your room completely fails and temperatures rise to unacceptable levels, the emergency system will shut down all equipment it controls. The controller’s alarm can be connected to your alarm system to provide immediate notification of a problem. You can connect all your e-series modules to one controller.

The model also has two outputs for the ECM1, a device that lets you turn other accessories in the room or rooms on and off (heater, fan, irrigation system, dehumidifier, CO2 system) with a load of up to 15A.
