The 12 plug&play pre-programmed modes loaded onto this controller are designed to produce less output than the normal programming loaded onto these touchscreen units, which is in response to the feedback from many Insitu vivarium customers.
These full function controllers come pre-programmed with 3 time cycles (12, 13, 14 hrs) and 4 different intensity profiles (low, med, hi, XX) within each cycle for a total of 12 ready to run plug and play options, giving you the ability to mimic seasonal changes as well as adapting to the growth cycle of your vivarium. Custom programming is free, just call me to discuss your unique requirements.
This touchscreen controller is similar to the TC420, but the screen gives you the ability to tweak the already installed program modes yourself, or create entirely new ones.
Available here as a solo unit without a driver (plug and play compatible with any single light kit using the stock driver).
Channel 5 is always set aside here for controlling a night light strip (or you could modify the installed programs to use Chan5 for controlling other 12v DC devices like fans).
Input is 12v DC, max 20amp.
See my separate store listing for combo units where the NL502 is paired with Mean Well drivers.
There are currently four intensity profiles per time cycle to choose from: "low", "med" , "hi" and "XX", they all feature sunrise and sunset effects with a taper up and down from midday peak intensities.
- Low: Peak midday intensity of 50% for approximately 1 hour.
- Med: Peak intensity of 75% lasting for 1 hour at midday.
- Hi: Peak intensity of 100% lasting for 1 hour at midday.
- XX: Peak intensity of 100% lasting for 2 hours.
For intensity profiles that differ from these, contact me with your custom programming specs at no extra charge, or you can edit the existing programs on the touchscreen, or create your own programs from scratch.
Dimensions: 5" x 3"
