OVERVIEW
The CGC-1e can be upgraded and expanded by using our expansion devices including the UPM-1, MLC-4 or the precision
PPM-1c. The Universal Power Modules and Master Light Controllers allow you to run multiple pumps, fans and lights by
controlling remote relays. The PPM-1c allows you to control CO
2
with Part-Per-Million accuracy!
UNIVERSAL POWER MODULE (UPM-1)
The UPM-1 Universal Power Module is a unique device that can allow the user to run
additional HID lights or control multiple fans / air conditioners etc.
The UPM-1’s “plug-box” was designed to be plugged into a standard household outlet.
The 16-foot long “trigger cable” coming from the UPM-1 is then connected to your
control device such as a time clock or thermostat. When the control device turns ON, the
relay inside the UPM-1 box applies power to the twin outlets on the front of the UPM-1
turning ON whatever is plugged into it. This allows you to run additional lights etc.
from a different circuit with one common control device.
The UPM-1 is rated at 15-amps @ 120 volts.
PART-PER-MILLION CO
2
SENSOR (PPM-1c)
To take full advantage of supplemental CO
2
, you must be able to precisely control the
level of CO2. This is made possible by plugging in our “CO
2
Controller”, the
PPM-1c
.
The
PPM-1c
controller is constantly sampling the level of CO
2
in the growing area and
can measure from 0 to 5000 PPM. The
PPM-1c
displays the current CO
2
level in PPM
using large a 4-digit LED display. It then transmits that information to the CGC-1e.
The PPM-1c is powered by a 18-24volt power supply.
MASTER LIGHTING CONTROLLER (MLCs)
The MLC-4 and MLC-4a Master Lighting Controllers are the best devices for
controlling up to (4) HID lights from one time clock or controller. Like the HPR-1,
power must be brought into the “input” side of the control relay. The MLC-4 features (4)
standard 240v outlets, which your ballasts are plugged into. The MLC-4a is designed for
120 volt ballasts however it can also be used to run ballasts wired for 240-volt operation,
which have 120-volt power cords. The MLC-8 Master Lighting Controller is the best
device for controlling up to (8) HID lights from one time clock or controller. Power is
brought into the MLC-8 by hardwiring up to a 40-amp circuit. The MLC-8 features (8)
standard 240v outlets, which your ballasts are plugged into.
The MLCs both feature a 120-volt trigger cable to plug into a standard 24-hour timer or
controller. The MLC-4 & MLC-4a are rated 30-amps @120/240 volt. The MLC-8 is
rated at 40-amps @ 240 volt.
HID LIGHTING CONTROLLER (HLC-2e)
The HLC-2e HID lighting controller was primarily designed to protect your expensive
HID lights from HOT-STARTS.
A “Hot-Start” occurs whenever your lights are turned off… and then back on before the
lamps are allowed to cool off. Hot-starts caused by power outages reduces your lamp’s
life and intensity. It can be plugged into either of the “Lights” outlets.
When the HLC-2e is connected to your lights, it will sense a power interruption, and
start a 15-minute time-delay to keep the lights from trying to re-fire while the cool down.
The HLC-2e can also be used to delay other devices from starting.
The HLC-1e is rated for 15-amps @ 120volts.
