Matrix MC2 Controller for Multi-Channel LED Fixture Management
The Matrix MC2 provides two independent lighting control channels, each capable of managing up to 100 fixtures via RS-485 or 80 fixtures via 0-10V — giving a single controller reach across up to 200 fixtures total in a facility. Each channel controls Far Red, UV, and Full Spectrum outputs independently with separate on/off timing and dimming settings, so growers can run different spectral recipes on different fixture groups without needing a second controller. Dimming steps at 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100% with full off, providing enough granularity to match light intensity to plant stage across veg, bloom, and transition zones from one unit.
Custom Lighting Schedules and Grouped LED Grow Light Control
The MC2 supports grouped fixture control within the same daisy chain, meaning growers can run separate lighting strategies in a single room — one group in veg spectrum while another runs bloom, or stagger EOD far-red timing across zones. Custom presets let operators build, save, and recall specific lighting recipes so spectral settings stay consistent cycle after cycle without manual reprogramming. Connection runs through RJ12 plug-and-play daisy-chain for fast installation — no custom wiring or network configuration required. The controller accepts 100–240V input through its adapter, operates across -4°F to 176°F ambient temps, and monitors humidity from 0–100% for environmental awareness alongside lighting control.
Key Features
- 2 Independent Channels, 200 Fixture Capacity: Each channel handles up to 100 fixtures on RS-485, allowing separate lighting strategies per channel from a single controller.
- Far Red / UV / Full Spectrum Independent Control: Adjusts each spectral channel's dimming and on/off timing separately to build precise light recipes matched to each growth phase.
- Grouped Control Within Daisy Chains: Runs different fixture groups on different schedules within the same wired chain — no extra controllers needed for multi-zone rooms.
- Custom Presets and Programmable Schedules: Save and recall spectral recipes for repeatable lighting programs across production cycles without manual reconfiguration.
- RJ12 Plug-and-Play Daisy Chain: Standard RJ12 connections between fixtures and controller keep installation fast and eliminate the need for custom wiring or network setup.
