Tested with major manufacturers of LED drivers, including Inventronics, Meanwell, Artesyn, Powerland, and others. Includes specialized support for signaling to large groups of dimto-off drivers, ensuring lights turn off reliably in critical production environments

SOFTWARE DEFINED ZONING

Never manually program a lighting controller again with Software Defined Zoning. Zones can contain any number of Dimmers and can be reconfigured in minutes within the GrowFlux App.

GROWFLUX MESH

Works together with the GrowFlux Access Point and other GrowFlux Mesh enabled products to propagate a high reliability wireless network locally within your farm. Utilizing 900MHz frequencies for ultimate range and reliability, GrowFlux Mesh is built for critical production environments and is hardened against security threats with AES128 and TLS encryption.

UNLOCK ENERGY SAVINGS

Meet regulatory requirements with both LED and HPS lights with precision scheduling and dimming. The GrowFlux App gives total control over PPFD light density and energy loads.

CONTROL FROM ANY DEVICE

Monitor, schedule, and control your lighting network from anywhere with the GrowFlux App for iOS and Android, or the browser based GrowFlux app at https://panel. growflux.com. GrowFlux Access Point required, sold separately.

GrowFlux Mesh

MESH NETWORK UP TO 200 DEVICES

Up to 200 Universal Dimmers can be connected to each Access Point. Each Universal Dimmer extends GrowFlux Mesh; high reliability wireless mesh network connection is automatically managed.

SCALE WITH MORE ACCESS POINTS

Additional Access points can be added to a single facility for more GrowFlux Mesh devices. Accounts can have multiple access points in different time zones for multi-facility management.

EASY SOFTWARE ZONING

Reconfigure your farm with ease with software defined zones. Schedules and settings are sent to all devices in a zone at once, eliminating repetitive programming tasks.

CONTROL ON ANY DEVICE

Manage your lighting systems from anywhere on any device with the GrowFlux App, available for iOS and Android, as well as the GrowFlux web app for browser and desktop control.

RETROFIT FRIENDLY

Designed to easily install into existing facilities to save energy and comply with evolving regulations. The Universal Dimmer family includes turnkey cabling that installs in seconds and supports the most commonly installed lights in the industry.

IP66 WATERPROOF

UV resistant IP66 construction with IP67 connectors. Internal water resistant PTFE vent for pressure equalization keeps water out through changes in atmospheric pressure. Waterproof power cables are available separately.

Wireless frequency: 902-928MHz (North America Market; ITU Region 2)

Wireless range: 500 feet line of sight (dimmer-to-dimmer or dimmer-to-Access Point / repeater; reduced to 300 feet indoors through most types of walls. Capable of 10km+ (6 mile+) wide networks with meshing

Meshing: Automatically meshes to nearest always-on device, such as a Dimmer, Repeater, or GrowFlux Mesh enabled device from third party manufacturers; Smart range extension & self healing mesh

Wireless channels: 50 channels; automatic channel hopping Radio Power: Up to +12dBm

Radio Power: Up to +12dBm

Antenna: 2.0dB high gain internal antenna

Notes:

1. Some power supplies built into lighting products are biased with a positive voltage on the dimming control terminals, preventing the control interface from reaching 0.00V. Electrical characteristics of some lights may prevent 0-10V line from reaching 10.00v; voltage at dimming control terminals at light is dependent on proper sizing of wiring.

2. The Universal Dimmer contains specialized hardware and firmware for enhanced dimming performance for large networks of lights - up to 50 lights. Actual quantity of lights supported by the Universal Dimmer may vary by lighting manufacturer.

3. Performance measured simulated loads on 0-10v interface; actual performance may vary by lighting manufacturer.

4. The Universal Dimmer will extend network range of nearby devices by automatically meshing to devices at the edge of the network. 10km+ (6+ mile) network range is common for networks incorporating devices spread out over large areas such as farms and cities. The Universal Dimmer will extend battery life of nearby battery powered sensors by automatically relaying messages, allowing sensors to reduce transmit power and stay asleep. Building materials such as metal, concrete, metal stud walls, and metal paneling will affect indoor through-wall range. GrowFlux Mesh typically performs with 100-300 foot range through concrete floors, CMU walls, brick walls, metal stud walls, and low-e coated windows. GrowFlux Mesh Repeaters or any GrowFlux Mesh enabled (non-battery powered) device can be used to extend wireless range for all GrowFlux Mesh enabled devices.
