CONTROLLER MANUAL

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE OCL DLC-1.1
DIGITAL LIGHTING CONTROLLER !
The OCL X-series, with extremely powerful and higher Par output than traditional xtures, asks for
a smart controller. That is why OCL designed the world’s smartest and yet easy to operate lighting
controller. All sensors (TEMP/RH/CO2) can be calibrated, it detects sensor failures and when a
connection is not set-up properly it will automatically show a warning in the display.
The OCL DLC-1.1 Smart Lighting & CO2 Controller includes a built-in clock and back-up battery
with a 30-year lifetime. The DLC-1.1 simulates natural growing conditions with the “RISE/FALL”
option, allowing plants to gradually warm up and cool down.
The “AUTO-SAVE TEMP” option can sense when indoor temperatures are getting too high and by
responding automatically by dimming the connected lamps it will reduce or even avoid environ-
mental stress and crop damage.
The “SHUTDOWN-TEMP” is an extra safety feature that will shut down all lighting in the room
when the temperature is not reducing after the “Auto-Save Temp” has set in. Causes could be a
malfunctioning in the extraction or climate control unit. A manual resetting of the “SHUTDOWN
TEMP” is than required to restart the system.
Dierent from other brands, with the OCL DLC-1.1 controller it is possible to combine dierent
types of ballasts. It is therefore possible to connect, say, a OCL XXL 1000 watt xture with a 315
watt CDM xture on one and the same controller.
With the “ CO2-SET ppm” option, the controller is not only managing the lights but also managing
the CO2 levels in the room. Due to the very accurate Dual Beam SenseAir CO2 sensor both CO2
generators and cool CO2 installations can be controlled. When using a OCL DLC1.1 controller, no
additional switch board is required.With the “AUX BOX”, to be ordered separately, it is possible to
connect a dehumidier, extra ventilation or heating. The “AUX BOX” is equipped with a RJ12 UTP
connection and a 16A relay for 3.5KW controlled power.

NEVER BEFORE IT WAS SO SIMPLE TO CREATE THE RIGHT CLIMATE
FOR YOUR PLANTS!

The OCL DLC-1.1 Smart Lighting & CO2 Controller is an innovative yet simple way to control your
lamps. As the rst and only, the OCL Digital Lighting Controller uses the interlink cable to connect
ballasts via the output of the one to the input of the other. Without any problem up to 50 OCL
XXL-SERIE Full Fixtures can be simultaneously controlled by the OCL DLC-1.1.
TIPS & TRICKS:
The temperature sensor should be protected against the radiation heat of the lamp. A simple
piece of paper board is sucient. It is recommended to have the OCL temperature sensor close
to the (if present) temperature sensor of the climate control system. The humidity sensor (RH)
measures the relative humidity and here too it is recommended to protect the sensor against
radiation heat and place it in the shadow.
The CO2 sensor should be facing the light because of its light cell, switching the sensor on
(day-time) and o (night-time). Since plants produce CO2 during the night, there is still sucient
CO2 available in the room when the lights are switched on. In order to save gas, it is possible to
put the “START TIME” on 20 minutes (after the lights switch on).
When dark, the plants do not require any CO2 so it is therefore not necessary to add extra CO2 up
and till the moment the lights are switched o. To save gas, it is possible to put the “STOP TIME”
on 20 minutes (before the lights switch o).
With the “AUX SELECT” option one can choose what piece of equipment will be connected. In the
“NIGHT” setting equipment will be switched on when the lights are switched o. It is recommend-
ed to use this setting because it allows the connection of a heater, dehumidier or extra ventilator.
When growing with CO2, plants will evaporate more and this could require extra dehumidication
of the room.
