SECTION 1
1 GENERAL
1.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The programmable lighting controller units are specifically developed to
modulate the intensity of lighting products.
Models LCL-0.2 and LEL-0.2 are dedicated to LED lighting products.
The master controller LCL-0.2 can be configured in master mode to define
up to 20 lighting periods distributed throughout the production cycle, or in
slave mode to provide a master controller with additional power outputs.
This controller is equipped with a graphical LCD display with white
backlight and four navigation keys for programming LED lighting circuits.
The controller provides two power outputs, configurable in automatic mode
or in manual mode through the use of dedicated bypass switches and an in-
tensity knob.
Equipped with an intelligent processor, the system offers simple and
intuitive navigation. It is possible to easily enter up to 20 lighting periods
that will automatically activate on certain production days. Each lighting
period accomodates up to 12 lighting cycles, with or without a transition
that simulates sunrise and sunset.
A companion slave unit, the LEL-0.2, comes without operator interface and
is intended to control additional power outputs commanded from a master
controller. It offers the same performance features as the master units with
two independent bypass switches and an intensity adjustment knob in
manual mode.

2.2 SAFETY
All technical staff performing operations on a controller must have read and
understood this manual and accepted the recommendations herein.
Before controller commissioning, all connections must be
checked. All electrical wiring and connections should be
inspected for possible defects. The controller should not be
operated if any of its components (whichever it is) appears
defective. Repair or replacement of a defective component
must only be carried out by technical personnel trained for
this purpose. The competence of the technical personnel
must first be confirmed and accepted by your distributor.
2.3 USAGE AND A LICATION
The LCL-0.2-120V and LCL-0.2-240V controllers are designed to control
dimmable lighting systems used in agricultural farm buildings. Any other
use of these controllers can compromise the safety of the users as well as the
integrity of the system itself. Therefore, such usage is prohibited.
Placing manual switches in the "OFF" position does NOT
disconnect the controller from its electrical network. It is
important to install a main disconnect mechanism to cut
power to the controller completely. Using this main discon-
nect, ensure to cut all power to the system before servicing
the unit or any equipment connected to the unit. Another
option is to cut the main power feeding the controller and
all equipment connected to the controller.
Failure to follow instructions may result in the full or partial cancellation of
the warranty.
The LCL-0.2-120V AgriShift®is intended for 120V, single
phase operation only. The LCL-0.2-240V AgriShift®is inten-
ded for 240V, single phase operation only.

6. Relative humidity at the installation site of the controller must lie
between 5% and 90% at all times.
7. Low voltage wiring (control signals, sensors and potentiometers) must
be isolated from high voltage ones.
8. It is absolutely mandatory to connect the ground wire to the space
provided for this purpose. Improper grounding could lead to
malfunction.
9. The installation wall of the controller must be even and able to with-
stand a temperature of 80 º C (180 ° F). The controller should never be
installed directly on a wall made of styrofoam, urethane or other heat-
sensitive materials.
10. The controller must be checked regularly to ensure its proper operation.
In case of failure, identify the fault symptoms and contact the product
supplier.
2.5 OSITIONING
