6: Programming And Using The Controller; Adjusting Ballast Output To Change Light Intensity; Control Lamp With Lower Power Rating Than Ballast; Programming A Light Cycle - Eye Hortilux GRC1 Manuel D'utilisation

6. PROGRAMMING AND USING THE CONTROLLER
CAUTION! Set the controllers output mode to "OFF" (see section 6.9) to ensure no ballasts will be
accidentally activated during the controller setup.
Follow the actions listed below to quickly start using the controller.
1. Set the controller output level. (see section 6.1)
2. Program a light cycle. (see section 6.3)
3. Set the output mode of the controller to "Follow" or "Inverse. " (see section 6.4)
4. Set the auto-dim temperature. (see section 6.6)
5. Set the shutdown temperature. (see section 6.7)
6. Set sunrise/sunset period (optional). (see section 6.8)
7. Activate the auto mode on the controller. (see section 6.9)
6.1 Adjust Ballast Output to Change Light Intensity
The controller can set the output of a ballast between 50% and 115%. Adjusting this ballast output enables
the user to change the light intensity in the climate room.
1. Press the DIMMING key. The Output Level Screen opens.
2. Press the UP/DOWN keys to set the ballast output between 50% and 115% (400W, 600W and 750W
systems can only be boosted up to 110%)
3. Press ENTER to confirm your choice.
Note: The output level can also be found in the main menu.
6.2 Control a Lamp with a Lower Power Rating than its Ballast
WARNING! When installing a lamp with a lower wattage than its ballast setting, ALWAYS adjust the
output level of the ballast before switching the system on. Failing to do so will cause immediate damage to
the lamp. A ballast may be used to control a lamp with a lower power output than the nominal value of the
ballast. For example, a 1000 watt ballast set at 750 watt can be used to control a 750 watt lamp. To prevent
damage to the light, the controller output must be adjusted to the appropriate value. Failing to properly
set the wattage could result in risk of harm to person or property and may damage the lamp or ballast.
1. Disconnect the ballast(s) from the main power supply.
2. Make sure the display mode of the controller is set to represent the output power of your ballast, NOT
of your lamp. (see section 5.3)
3. Adjust the ballast output to match the wattage of the lamp. (see section 6.1)
4. Exchange the lamps of all connected ballasts.
5. Reconnect the ballast to the main power supply.

6.3 Programming a Light Cycle

Press ENTER. The controller menu will open.
1. Press the UP/DOWN keys to locate "light cycle"
and press ENTER. The Light Cycle Screen will open.
In this screen, the hour indication behind "ON" blinks
(Figure 12A).
2. Press the UP/DOWN keys to select the hour on which the
lights must be activated and press ENTER to confirm your
choice.
3. Use the same procedure to set the minute (Figure 12B) on
which the lights must be activated and the hour (Figure
12C) and minute (Figure 12D) on which the lights must be
deactivated.
