Lumatek Ltd
The Lumatek Digital Control Panel Plus is a dual signal twin channel digital
lighting controller with each of the two channels (Zones) capable of con-
trolling up to 200 Lumatek controllable HID fixtures or ballasts with a digital
RS485 signal or up to 50 LED fixtures with analog 0-10V signal. It is possible to
use each Zone to control fixtures in two independent separate rooms or to
control up to 400 fixtures in one room with two different light source types.
The Lumatek control panel is a digital lighting controller that offers precise
external control of your Lumatek lighting fixtures and ballasts. Using innovative
technology, this controller smartly monitors your grow room temperatures, light
timing & intensity automation, safety-controlled dimming and switching
On/Off. Simply connect it to your Lumatek Controllable Fixtures or Ballasts and
easily regulate your grow room environment.
Thank you for purchasing the Lumatek Control Panel, we are sure you will be
satisfied for years to come. Please read and understand this manual before
installing and using the control panel as it contains all the information neces-
sary to successfully install, use and maintain the product.Digital Control Panel

control fixtures in two separate rooms or to control up to 400 fixtures in one room.
4. SAFETY GUIDELINES
5. INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER & FUNCTIONS
5.1 Preparations
For HID:
Warning! Keep the controller away from fire, excessive heat, water, dust and
contamination.
Warning! The Lumatek Digital Control Panel may only be used to control
compatible Lumatek controllable fixtures and ballasts. Do not connect the
controller to other products as this may be dangerous and may cause
malfunctions in the connected equipment. Doing so will void the warranty.
Warning! Do not open or disassemble the controller, it contains no serviceable
parts. Opening the controller will void the warranty.
Warning! Make sure the signal cables do not touch the reflectors as the
reflectors get very hot!
1. Mount the fixtures or ballasts as per your lighting plan.
Interconnect them as described in the manual for the fixture or ballast
using the control cable (TRS) supplied with each controllable fixture or ballast.
Connect ballast 1 control cable from Out socket of ballast 1
to the In socket of ballast 2.
Connect ballast 2 control cable from Out socket of ballast 2
to In socket of ballast 3.
4.
3.
2.
Connect all remaining ballasts in series accordingly.
5. Connect the ballasts or fixtures to the mains.

For LED:
1. Mount the fixtures as per your lighting plan. Interconnect them as
described in the manual for the fixture, using the LED control cable
supplied with the controller and a control link cable purchased separately
for each additional fixture to be daisy-chain connected in series.
Warning! Each Channel (Zone) can only control same-powered LED fixtures/drivers;
Zone A can control the same-powered LED fixtures as Zone B or Zone B B can be set
to control different powered LED fixtures eg: Zone A can be set to control 600W LED
fixtures and Zone B set to control 465W or 1000W LED fixtures.
Note! Each of the controller’s two channels (Zone A & Zone B) can control up
to 50 LED fixtures. It is possible to use those channels to control LED fixtures in two
separate rooms or to control up to 100 fixtures in one room.
Using LED control link cable, connect LED fixture 1 ‘Signal Out’ port
(LED fixture ‘Frame B’) to the ‘Signal In’ port of LED fixture 2.
Connect LED fixture 2 ‘Signal Out’ port to
the ‘Signal In’ port on LED fixture 3.
4.
3.
2.
Daisy-chain connect all remaining LED fixtures in series accordingly.
CONNECT CONTROLLER
CABLE TO SIGNAL IN
5. Connect the LED fixtures to the mains.

Find a suitable place for the temperature sensor and the controller. Hang the
sensor between the plants at average canopy height and preferably not
against the wall. Do not position in direct airflow or light. If you are using another
climate control system, hang temp sensor close to the sensor of that system.
Position and affix controller to the wall using mounting screws (E) through the
mounting loops.
Connect the power input (B) and the temperature probes (E). The display will
light up and you can continue to set up the controller.
Connect controller cable (C/D) from Zone A/B output port (3) to ‘Signal In’
port on LED fixture 1 or ballast 1 IN port.
Warning! The controller may only be connected to compatible Lumatek controllable
LED fixtures and ballasts.

1. When setting controller for LED drivers/fixtures;
Using a pointed tool (ball point pen) press [SET] button to select 0-10V analogue
signal protocol (0-10V LED indictor light on only). This will make both zones com-
patible for LED drivers.’
2. When setting controller for HID ballast/fixtures;
Press [SET] button to select RS485 digital signal protocol (LED indicator light on).
This will make both Zones compatible for HID electronic ballasts.
3. When setting controller for LED drivers/fixtures and HID ballast/fixtures;
Press [SET] button to select both 0-10V & RS485 signal protocols ( both LED indica-
tor lights on). This will make Zone A compatible for LED drivers and Zone B com-
patible for HID electronic ballasts.
‘To set temperature scale and power output unit of measurement:
Press [OK] and then [>] to ‘System Settings’ and [OK] to enter
Press [<]or[>] to ‘Temp’ and [^]or[v] to toggle between ‘C’ (Celsius) or ‘F’ (Faren-
heit). Press [OK] to save.
Press [<]or[>] to ‘Power’; the display will show either % (percent) when LED is select-
ed in ‘Type’ in Zone A/B page and W (Watts) when HID is selected.
Note! LED driver power output is shown as a percentage of the driver ‘s nominal
power output eg. 50% of a 1000W LED driver is 500W.
To set Time and Date to your local time;
Press [OK] and then [>] to System Settings and [OK] to enter
In System Settings press [<]or[>] to Hour and [^]or[v] to toggle between 24hour and
am/pm clock. Press [OK] to save.

Setting ballast/driver/fixture type:
Press [<]or[>] to Type and [^]or[v] to select ballast/driver type and Press [OK] to save.
Setting light intensity by selecting power output level:
Warning! New HID lamps need to run at nominal power for at least 100 hours to ensure they
don’t fail prematurely. If using new lamp; set Power to 100%. After 100 hours nominal power
use, new HPS lamps may be dimmed and boosted and MH/CMH lamps may be dimmed.
Warning! Do not boost MH/CMH lamps which must not exceed their nominal power.

7. LED FAILURE INDICATOR ON ELECTRONIC BALLAST
Note! If controller not connected; the power output LED will go On normally and in
the event of any failure; the LED above highest power output setting will flash. See
table below to decode fault.
If controller connected; the ‘controller ‘ LED on electronic ballast will turn Onand
flash every 2 seconds; this means that the controller is working normally.If the
ballast fails to receive signal from the controller (either because of poor signal
cable connection or controller failure) the ‘controller’ LED on ballast will flash
quickly (every 0.2 seconds). In the event of any other failure; the LED above
highest power output setting on ballast will flash. See table below to decode fault.
