autopilot APBC1000 Analog to Digital Conversion Module
OVERVIEW
Autopilot has designed an intermediary box that will take the analog 0-10V signal input from commercial environmental controllers and will convert it into the digital RS-485 Phantom brand lighting signal. The APBC1000 signal converter allows Phantom brand lighting products to adjust the light intensity based on what readings the quantum sensor is communicating back to the commercial environmental controller (greenhouse production facility). Alternately, if the grower is relying solely on artificial lighting, the signal converter can operate without the quantum sensor, allowing the grower to manually control lighting intensity (indoor production facility).
