OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing the Xtrasun XTC1100 LT1 Digital Lighting Controller. This controller is
specically designed to be used with the Xtrasun XTDEKT1 and XTDEOKT1 lighting systems, whose
ballasts have the proper RJ11 ports to connect with the XTC1100. In addition to controlling the on/
o scheduling of the light systems, the LT1 oers Auto-dimming and Auto-shutdown in event of
overtemperature, sunrise/sunset simulation, and two connections for external equipment such as
dehumidiers and air conditioning systems.
For additional information on Xtrasun and Hydrofarm products, please visit Hydrofarm.com.

CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER TO COMPLETE LIGHTING FIXTURES
1. Switch the rotary knob on all ballasts to EXT.
2. Insert the RJ9 end of the provided cable into the Zone A (P1) or Zone B (P2) port of the LT1
controller.
3. Insert the RJ14 end of provided cable into the input of an RJ14 splitter (included with XTDEKT1/
XTDEOKT1 light system).
4. Insert one end of an RJ14 cable into one of the splitter outputs, and the other end into the RJ14
port of the rst ballast.
5. Use an RJ14 cable (included with XTDEKT1/XTDEOKT1 light system) to connect another output
of the RJ14 splitter to the input of the following splitter.
6. Repeat this process to connect up to 80 ballasts (per zone).
CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER TO REMOTE BALLASTS
1. Switch the rotary knob on all ballasts to EXT.
2. Insert the RJ9 end of the provided cable into the Zone A (P1) or Zone B (P2) port of the LT1
controller.
3. Insert the RJ14 end of the provided cable into one of the two RJ14 ports of the rst ballast.
4. Use an RJ14 cable (included with XTDEKT1/XTDEOKT1 light system) to connect the other end of

• Touch “MENU” (1) to enter into the main menu.
• Touch “CLR WRN” (2) to clear the warning information (as seen at point 13). (After the
temperature returns to the normal value after auto dimming over T-Limit 1 or auto-shutoff over
T-Limit 2.)
• Touch “Dim+” (3) to increase Zone A output. This command is only valid in Manual On mode.
Output adjustment is identical for Zone B.
• Touch “Dim-” (4) to reduce Zone A output. This command is only valid in Manual On mode.
Output adjustment is identical for Zone B.
• ZONE B locked indicator (5). The Icon indicates that the output dimming is prohibited. For
example, if you appoint Zone B as the dry contact output in the parameter setting, all other dry
connects will be disconnected. The icon will display once the sensor is not inserted. It is the
same for ZONE A.
• Output modes indicator (6). The Icon indicates auto-mode; indicates manual mode.
• Dimming status indicator (7). Under Auto mode and sunrise/sunset simulation situation, the
icon will keep flashing until it reaches the setting value.
1) During the sunrise period, the icon will keep flashing until it reaches the setting output.
2) During Sunset period, the icon will keep flashing until the output reaches 50%, and the
output will be closed automatically.
3) When the Temp Auto-dim warning displays, the icon will keep flashing and it will reduce
the output as setting percentage. After the output comes to 50% and no longer dims down,
the icon will still flash until the temperature drops to at least 2°C lower than the normal
dimming temperature T1 or the warning happened as Figure 6-1.
• This display (8) shows the current output power and percentage of rated power. This display
works identically in Zone B.
• This display (9) reports current temperature and humidity values. This display works identically
in Zone B. A display of “NA” indicates that no sensor is connected.
• This display (10) shows the programmed ON/OFF times. Under Auto mode, the LT1 will turn
on/off the controlled lamps’ output automatically when it reaches the on/off time, and close or
disconnect EMI1 and EMI2 according to the dry connect settings. The temperature shown here

MAIN MENU INTERFACE
• Touch (1) to switch ballast rated power (available options are 400W, 600W, 750W and
1000W).
• Touch (2) to set output mode: M-On (Manual on), M-Off (Manual off), or Auto.
• Touch (3) to set power output percentage (valid values here are 50-110). Under “Auto” mode,
if the sunrise/sunset function is disabled, it will execute this output immediately once lights
are powered on. If the sunrise/sunset function is enabled, this value is the final output after
sunrise/sunset simulation. Zone B settings are made the same way.
• Touch (4) to set Time On (the time when the LT1 turns on the lights in this zone) (24 hr time
format). Zone B settings are made the same way.
• Touch (5) to set Time Off (the time when the LT1 turns off the lights in this zone) (24 hr time
format). Zone B settings are made the same way.
• Touch “SAVE” (6) to save current settings.
• Touch “NEXT” (7) to go to the next page.
• Touch “CANCEL” (8) to return to the
previous page.
• Touch “DEFAULT” (9) to restore factory default

refers to the auto-shutdown temperature. If the room temperature exceeds this value, the LT1
will shut the dimming output and close the WRN dry connect, also disconnect EMI1 and close
EMI2.
• Touch “SET MODE” (11) to choose the output mode. The output setting here is only temporarily
effective (it is not stored when the unit is powered down). It will revert to the output mode
which is set in the parameter interface after restart.
• This display (12) shows the output status of extension modules and warning connections
(normally open). OFF = open, ON= closed.
A. During lights on period, EMI1 dry contact is not energized and EMI2 dry contact is energized;
B. During lights off period, EMI dry contact is energized and EMI2 dry contact is not energized;
3) When temperature is over limit value T-Limit 2, WRN dry contact will be energized, EMI1 dry
contact remains energized and EMI2 dry contact will not be energized. If there is no sensor
connected to the appointed zone, all dry contacts will not be energized and the LT1 will forbid
all output and auto-actions (including lights on, lights off, auto-dimming when temperature is
over T-Limit 2, and auto-shutdown when temperature is over T-Limit 2).
• Warning information displays in this area (13). Multiple items of warning information will be
displayed alternately.

0-60 minutes. This setting is made the same way in Zone B to the right. Note: This feature is
only available in Auto mode. (0 = forbidden sunrise/sunset function.)
• Appointed dry contact output zone (3). During the lights-on period, if the zone with lights on
is the same as the zone shown here, then the EMI1 contact will be closed and the EMI2 contact
will be open. During the lights off period, if the lights off zone is the same as the zone shown
here, then the EMI1 contact will be open and the EMI2 contact will be closed.
• Touch this field (4) to select temperature display for that zone (Celsius or Fahrenheit). This
setting is made the same way in Zone B.
• Touch this field (5) to set temperature limit value 1 (T-Limit 1). Valid entries are 50-104
(Fahrenheit) and 10-40 (Celsius). This setting is made the same way in Zone B.
• Touch this field (6) to set the percentage by which the LT1 will auto-reduce the output power
per minute in an overtemperature event. This setting is made the same way in Zone B.
• Touch this field (7) to set temperature limit value T2 (T-Limit 2). The LT1 will auto-shutdown the
output when the temperature exceeds this setting. If the enabled EMI setting is Zone A, it will
close EMI2 and WRN dry contact, and open EMI1 dry contact. Otherwise, all dry contacts keep
current status.
