DATA SIGNAL WIRING

The LLT-1 Smart Light Lifter can operate via its control panel as shown above. To expand the LLT-1 features, such as custom lifting range and synchronized multi-lifter control; the LRC-1 Smart Lifter Remote (sold separately) is required. Follow the diagram below for a recommended “multi-lifter” and “lifter-group” setup.

The LLT-1 communication cables are daisy-chained from one lifter to another. Up to 30 LLT-1 can be interconnected and paired with the LRC-1 remote. Using multiple LLT-1 connected together will provide an easily expandable synchronized light lifter control system.

Multiple LRC-1 remotes can connect to the HCS-2 Hydro Pro to utilize the advanced features. Each LRC-1 is treated as a “lifter-group”, up to 50 LRC-1 can be connected to the HCS-2.

*Note:* A single LRC-1 remote can pair and control a signal chain of up to 30 LLT-1 lifters.
Note:** The HCS-2 maincontroller can pair and control up to 50 LRC-1 remote controls.

LIFTER SYSTEM INITIAL SETUP

An initial setup is needed when two or more lifters are used on the same light fixtures. Follow the recommended setup instructions below to ensure the lifter system is setup correctly.
Ensure you have properly calculated the weight of all components (unistrut, lights, power cables etc.) the lifters will carry, and are within the rated weight limit.

1. Install the light lifters to a secure location overhead. Connect the power cables to the LLT-1.
   
   *Caution: Users are responsible to ensure all components that are connected to the Smart Light Lifter are rated properly and structurally sound.

2. Using the LLT-l’s descend button to individually lower the lifter’s steel cable down to the same level. While manually lowering the cable on each lifter, apply a small amount of force, or attach a small weight to make sure the cable extends smoothly from the LLT-1.*Use a ruler or tape measure to ensure they are all equal distance from the LLT-1 body.
   

3. Connect the support system (e.g. unistrut) to the lifters’ steel cable loop, so that the lifter bears a light weight.
   

4. Ensure the support system (e.g. unistrut) is leveled and all lifters weight distribution is equal. If individual lifters need to be adjusted, use the ascent/descent buttons on the lifter.
   
   *Caution: Users must address potential situations shown below before continuing the setup procedures. If one or more of the lifters are not all level, the lights may be lifted unevenly and/ or some lifters will not be bearing any weight. Manually use the up down buttons on each LLT-1 so that equal weight will be supported by each lifter.
   
   Notice the middle steel cable is lose and not carrying any weight.
   
   Notice the light support structure (unistrut) is not leveled.

5. Daisy chain the lifters that need to be synchronized together by using the ECS-7 data cables.
   

6. Connect the LRC-1 Smart Lifter Remote to the first lifter and ECS-7.
   

7. Address the lifter and pair the remote by pressing the LLT-1’s ascend button once. When the lifter is paired with the remote, the lifter’s LED will turn from blinking green to soi Id green. Whille the LRC-1’s LED will turn from rapid blinking green (0.6s per blink) to slow blinking green (1.2s per blink). (Repeat this step until you pair all lifters in the chain. For more details on LRC-1, see P.16)
   

8. Test the synchronized ascent and descent via the LRC-1 Smart Lifter Remote to verify all lifters are paired and working with the remote.
   Caution: Monitor all lifters’ operation. If any of the lifter(s) stopped working, let go of the ascend/descend button immediately and check and troubleshoot the lifter(s) error status.

9. Install grow light into the support system (e.g. unistrut
   

10. Set the lifters’ upper and lower range limit via LRC-1 by ascend/ descend to the desired height levels, press and hold the Highest/ Lowest Range Setup Button until the LED indicator turns from blinking red to solid. (see P.18 for more details)
    

11. Connect the LRC-1 to the Hydro-X Pro (HCS-2) Main controller’s device line via ECS-9 Data cable.
    

12. Address and pair the remote with HCS-2 by pressing LRC-l’s Highest Range Setup Button once. When the remote is paired with the HCS-2, the remote LED will turn from slow blinking green(1.2s per blink) to solid green. A “Device Added” pop-up message will  appear in HCS-2. (For more details on LRC-1, see P.16
    

13. With multiple LRC-1 remotes, you can create multiple “lifter-group”. Connect the LRC-1 remotes to the HCS-2 via SPH-1 splitter hub for advance features such as “synchronized lifter-group control”. (For more details, see Hydro-X Pro user manual and tutorial video.)
