ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERSION MODULE

APBC1000 - USER MANUAL
OVERVIEW
Autopilot has designed an intermediary box that will take the analog 0-10V signal input from
commercial environmental controllers and will convert into the digital RS-485 Phantom brand lighng
signal. The APBC1000 signal converter allows Phantom brand lighng products to adjust the light
intensity based on what readings the quantum sensor is communicang back to the commercial
environmental controller (greenhouse producon facility). Alternately, if the grow is relying solely on
arcial lighng, the signal converter can operate without the quantum sensor, allowing the grower to
manually control lighng intensity (indoor producon facility).
