TrolMaster LMA-14G Puts 0-10V Lights on Separate Schedule Groups
Rooms with top lights, inner canopy bars and under canopy bars rarely want all three on the same schedule. A standard 0-10V adapter treats every connected fixture as one group. The LMA-14G adds group addressing. It assigns the lights it controls to one of ten groups, numbered 0 through 9. Compatible TrolMaster controllers, the HCS-2 and HCS-3, then run each group on its own schedule. Line 1 and Line 2 settings can also be set independently for more complex layouts. The adapter outputs a 0-10V dimming signal from a 12V supply and draws 0.05A at most. One LMA-14G can control up to 24 LEDs or 40 HID fixtures. An LCD display shows the current group setting. It operates from 32 to 122°F at up to 90% humidity.
Wiring a 0-10V Group Control Adapter
Connect the two dimming wires from the LED driver or ballast to the adapter's terminal block. Plug the adapter into the lighting port of the controller, or into an SPH-1 splitter. Hold the button for three seconds to enter setting mode. Press it again to step through groups 0 to 9. Release it, and the setting saves automatically after two seconds. Build the lighting schedule for each group in the controller. Add more LMA-14G adapters through an SPH-1 when a room has more lights than one adapter can handle. TrolMaster names Gavita, Nanolux, Luxx, Growers Choice, Iluminar and P.L. Light HID systems as compatible. Fluence, NextLight, Photobio and Faven are listed among compatible LED brands. For a single-group setup, the LMA-14 lighting control adapter is the simpler option. The attached tech sheet shows the wiring diagram.
