Control Sun System®1 Etelligent™Ballasts
with the same controller—operating on 2 separate channels.

Thank you for purchasing the Etelligent™ Controller for programming the Sun System® 1
Etelligent Ballasts with signal ports for on/off/dimming functions. This is a dual zone controller
which can control up to 400 lights (up to 200 in each of 2 zones).
1. Sun System One Controller
This low profile Etelligent Controller is designed to
be paired with Sun System 1 Etelligent Electronic
Ballasts. The Etelligent Controller enables a timed
on/off function, accurate temperature readings,
thermal protection shut off and a timed sunrise/
sunset function.
NOTE: Before connecting to controller, please
make sure the knob is rotated to RC position first.

11. Operation example settings
Example: ZONE A control 1000W ballast, output power is
780W, sunrise time 08:35,(60% power), sunset time 9:00
(turn off), Sunrise and sunset duration time is 29min, if
ambient temperature is 30°C ≤temperature ≤40, dimming
down automatically to decrease power and temperature. If
temperature >40°C, turn off and enter into protection status.

14. LED failure indicator on electronic ballast
Note:
1Without controller connected:
Dimming LED indicator will remain on. If failure occurs, the Turbo LED indicator will flash
(one of seven possible issues listed above).
2With controller connected:
The controller LED will remain on and flash. (Controller LED will flash every 2 seconds,
indicating the controller is functioning normally).
If ballast does not receive signal from controller, either signal has been lost or the controller
has failed. This will be a rapid flash on the controller LED indicator on the ballast.
