Dimlux - Digital Temperature Sensor

Brand: Dimlux

Dimlux Digital Temperature Sensor

The Dimlux Digital Temperature Sensor measures ambient air temperature for Dimlux lighting control. Connected to the Dimlux Maxi Controller, it lets the controller dim the lights based on room temperature: when the set value is exceeded the lights dim first, if the temperature keeps rising half of the dimmed lights switch off, and if it still continues to rise all lights switch off for at least 20 minutes.

Together with the Dimlux humidity (RH) sensor and plant temperature camera, the temperature sensor supplies the readings the Maxi Controller needs to calculate and display vapor pressure deficit (VPD). On Dimlux Xtreme LED MKII fixtures the sensor plugs into the fixture's OUT2 port with its attached cable and the reading is shown across all connected fixtures. Hang the sensor out of direct light, roughly halfway between the fixture and the crop.
