INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION
The Dimlux maxi controller is a modular control system for operating and monitoring the Dimlux lighting, CO2 and
VPD. The EVO controller is available with and without USB log function. The controller also has a thermostat/hygrostat
function (AUX) and can also control a fan.
A maximum of 160 Dimlux light xtures or pre-selector devices can be controlled by means of two out-ports. The
controller switches the lighting on or off by means of a built-in timer. If a set temperature is exceeded, the lighting dims
automatically or – if necessary – switches off half or all light xtures off. A switchboard with timer/relay/reducers is
not necessary.
Besides lighting, the controller can also regulate the CO2 level in an air-conditioned room. A very accurate dual-beam
CO2 sensor can be used to control CO2 generators, cold CO2 installations and ventilation systems for air replacement.
On the AUX port of the EVO 1.2, an “auxbox” can be used to connect a humidier or a dehumidier, a heating system
and even a ventilator. Various parameters can be read and regulated in a VPD environment. The screen shows the
ambient temperature, relative humidity, plant temperature and VPD. The DATALOG function can be used to store all
values on a USB stick. The controller writes all measured values onto the stick every minute and these can be read off
later in graphic form on a PC.
The controller can also operate the lighting in two rooms in turns. This requires a second temperature sensor, which
can be connected to port RH/T2. The relative humidity sensor will no longer be required. The controller is modular: All
sensors can be purchased independently according to need.
Components
The controller
The controller regulates and operates the lighting, CO2, VPD status and any other
connected components (AUX).
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor measures the room temperature and should be protected
against light (shaded). A cardboard cover is sufcient.
RH% sensor
The RH% sensor measures the relative humidity in the room. This is necessary to
determine the VPD or to control a humidier or a dehumidier. The RH% sensor should
also hang in the shade.
CO2 sensor
You can read and control the current CO2 level in a room using a very accurate dual-
beam CO2 sensor. The sensor can control a CO2 generator or a cold CO2 installation.
PT camera
The temperature of a crop can be measured using the plant temperature camera.
This temperature provides an indication of the vaporization of the crop.
The camera is also needed to determine the VPD.
The Auxbox
Auxbox Auxbox fan
An auxbox can be connected to controller’s aux port. The auxbox converts the maxi controller into a fully automatic
air conditioning system. The auxbox is available in two designs. The auxbox has two connections, one for a heating
system/heater and two for a humidier or dehumidier. The other design can also control a fan as well as a heating
system and a humidier and a dehumidier. The fan control is electronic and has no annoying buzz.

CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS & MENU
Connecting the lighting ( Also see the other connectivity options on pages 19 & 20 )
The controller communicates with the Dimlux ballasts or the light xtures by means of a signal cable, which should be
connected between the controller and the various ballasts and light xtures. Interlink cables are supplied with both the
Maxi-controller and the ballasts/ light xtures. Separate Interlink cables can be ordered in different lengths. Ask your
dealer for more information.
Interlink cables
There are 2 ports for Interlink cables, namely OUT 1 and OUT 2, on the side of the controller. Up to 80 ballasts or light
xtures may be connected to each port, which means that in total, 160 ballasts or light xtures can be connected as
long as the original Dimlux Interlink cables are used.
Interlink cables (UTP)
There are two ports on the ballasts or light xtures, on which the Interlink cables are connected. The port on the Maxi
Controller (out 1 and/ or out 2) is connected to port A of the ballast or light xture. Port B is now connected to port A
of the ballast or light xture via an Interlink cable. The sequence is therefore controller-out> port A, then from B to A /
B to A / B to A etc. A is therefore the input signal and B is the output signal.
At high temperature safeguard, ballasts or light xtures will now switch off alternately. Thus, it is not (no longer) required
to connect the signal wire alternately. The electronics in the ballasts or light xtures regulate this independently.
There is a green plug with three terminals +1, +2 and - (minus), under the 2 OUT ports. This connection can be used to
control older types of ballasts or light xtures without Interlink.
The ABP jack enables the connection of a 2nd Maxi Controller. The two controllers then work together on 1 clock /
timer in the master / slave conguration. Master-slave copy or invert should be selected in the 2nd controller, using
the mode button. The 1st controller is set to the normal function (on / off / timer / countdown) using the mode button.
double-core cables
Older models ballasts or light xtures without Interlink connections can also be controlled with the EVO 1.2. The green
connector beneath the OUT ports can be used for this. Here, up to 40 ballasts or light xtures can be connected per
port. (80 in total)
double-core cable to following ballast >< to following ballast
The controller is connected to the ballasts or light xtures using a double-core cable. On the controller, you can choose
for port +1 and - (minus), for instance. This is then connected to + and - on the ballast or light xture. If there is more
than one ballast or light xture, the double-core cable can be looped in series from the rst ballast/light xture to the
next one. Always + to + and - to -.
When installing multiple ballasts / light xtures, this should always be distributed over port +1 and port +2. In case of
a high temperature safeguard, port +2 switches off.
Connecting the CO2
The dual-beam CO2 sensor can simply be plugged into a wall socket.
The long cable including the plug is inserted into the port with the CO2
indication.
Now you can connect the CO2 generator or pressure-reducing valve to
the CO2 sensor.
Connecting the auxbox
The fan/ auxbox is easily connected to an existing wall socket. The 5m
communication cable is connected to the aux port via the plug. Now the
apparatus for controlling the box must be inserted into the correct port.
Connecting the VPD
To be able to determine the VPD value, the temperature sensor,
RH% sensor and PT camera should be connected to the controller.
Both the temperature sensor and the RH% sensor should be covered
against the incidence of light. A cardboard cover is sufcient.
The PT camera should be mounted in such a way that it “illuminates” the crop
under an angle of approx. 45º without measuring walls, reectors or other
parts of the room as well. A circle with a diameter of 50 cm is measured if the
distance to the crop is 50 cm. The circle is 80 cm if the distance is 80 cm.

The new EVO 1.2 Maxi Controller automatically adjusts the best possible CO2 dosing using a special algorithm that
prevents the values being exceeded and always keeps the CO2 level as stable as possible. This self learning program
also ensures that no harmful CO is released by CO2 gas generators, due to the rapid on and off switching of the
burner. It is possible that CO2 dosages are given that may appear to be "foreign" and illogical to the user. Thee
controller does this during the learning mode. This is normal.

You can read the room temperature (AT), relative humidity (RH%), plant temperature (PT), delta-T (DT) and the VPD value
on the VPD display screen. You can switch between PT and DT by pressing the + and – keys in this screen. PT is the
plant temperature measured with the plant temperature camera. Delta-T indicates the difference between AT and PT.
The difference between plant temperature and room temperature provides an indication of whether a plant vaporizes
or not. VPD provides an indication about the vaporization pressure. A crop that vaporizes normally is ca. 2 degrees
cooler than the room temperature. The vaporization pressure (VPD) is usually between 0.6 and 1.5 kPa.
Pressing the SET key on the VPD display screen will open the menu.
PT > AT Dim
PT>AT start dim

The crop does not vaporize adequately if the plant temperature is higher than the room temperature. The controller can
intervene by dimming the lights and turning off the CO2 dosing. The difference in temperature can be set by pressing
briey on the SET key and using the + and – keys to ll in a value. A typical value is – for example, +2 degrees. The
controller will intervene if the leaves of the crop are 2 degrees warmer than the room.
PT>AT shutdown
PT>AT shut down

The plant temperature will increase further if the controller has intervened but no measures are taken to restart the
vaporization. The controller will then shut down the lights completely if the plant temperature rises. The difference in
temperature in which the controller shuts down all lights can be set in the PT>AT shut-down option. A typical value in
which the controller does this is usually +2 degrees higher than in PT>AT Dim (therefore +4 degrees).

DATALOG AND DIMLUX CONNECTION OPTIONS
Interlink cable
The new EVO Maxi Controller 1.2 has a new simpler system to connect the controller to the ballasts / light xtures.
It is no longer necessary to connect a double-core cable alternately to the ballasts / light xtures. All ballasts / light
xtures can now be connected in succession through an Interlink cable using RJ45 plugs. The system's electronics now
personally ensures that the lamps switch off alternately with half-force or high temperature safeguard. (checker board
pattern) The lamps that will go OFF with half-force or with a high temperature safeguard, will now also automatically
change every 6 hours with the lamps that are switched ON, in order ensure that the light patter remains as equal and
uniform as possible under these circumstances.
The maxi controller is supplied with one 5 meter Interlink cable.
All ballasts and light xtures
600W Extreme series (remote) = 0.6 meter / 315W and 600W Expert series = 2.0 meter /
