Unboxing

UNBOXING Your Dimlux fixture box will contain the following items:

1x DimLux fixture + bulb
1x Interlink cable (315&600W=2.0m 630&1000W=2.5m)
1x Power cord
2x Eye bolt and nut (M6)
1x Instruction manual

Extra Interlink cables are available in different sizes 0.6 m (24 in.) 1,0 m (40 in.) 1.5 m (60 in.) 2,0 m (80 in.) 2,5 m (100 in.) 3,5 m (140 in.) 5,0 m (200 in.) 10,0 m (400 in.)

4 Digit display

Status and alarms will be displayed on this display. The DimLux Expert Series MKII ballast achieves the highest possible light output due to the overdrive technology (boost) in combination with the 400V control. This makes it possible to get 15% extra growlight form your tubes.

Single push button for setting the power output:
Dimlux Expert 1000W 
in steps of 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100 ,1200W
Dimlux Expert 600W in steps of 320, 390, 460, 530, 600, 645, 720W

Suitable Bulbs

Dimlux Expert 600 watt EL UHF

  • Philips Greenpower 600W EL UHF (400volt)

Dimlux Expert 1000 watt EL UHF

  • Philips 1000W Philips Master Greenpower EL DE
  • Dimlux 1000W PRO
  • Dimlux 1000W MKII Ultra
  • Horturion MH 1000 DE EL 5.5K
  • DimLux HPS1000 PRO DE 2K
  • Dimlux Xtreme Output California Spec HPS 400V 1000/1250W DE

Please ensure that the bulb has been burning for at least 5 minutes before turning off the power. Short ON/OFF cycles can shorten the lifespan of the installed 315W bulb.

Closed & Vertical Ballast

Closed ballast design, for better protection of the electronics.

Unparalleled and highly efficient ballast driver : 97% efficient, 30% less losses, lighter and 30% more compact than the old Dimlux Expert Series

Easy Removable Ultra Optics Reflector

Standard equipped with the Ultra Optics Hybrid 98 reflector. This reflector has the highest reflector efficiency in the market with 98% total efficiency, achieved through Miro 98 (99.99% silver) and the SBCS (Single Bounce Clear Sight) principle.

Easy to replace with the Ultra Optics Wide 98 reflector or Ultra Optics Deep 98 reflector. Both reflectors have a 98% efficiency just like the Ultra Optics Hybrid 98.

How to
Error codes

If there is an error message, it will scroll across the display.

  • LVP error low voltage protection = Input voltage too low
  • HTP error high temperature protection = The ballast is over heated
  • OCP error open contact = Open contact, or lamp is defective
  • SHORT error short circuit = Short circuit in the lamp circuit, or lamp is defective
  • EOL error end of live bulb = Lamp surpassed it’s service life. Maximum power connot be attained anymore.*

If there is a (mains) power failure (but the fixture is connected to other fixtures, “psu fail” will scroll across the display. If there is an internal error in the electronics that drive the lamp, then “hid fail” will scroll across the display.
* When EOL appears, then it’s possible that the lamp will still work fine at lower powers.

DIMLUX PRO SERIES
Getting started
4 Digit display

Display with a dim switch and boost

Status and alarms will be displayed on this display. The Dimlux Pro Series can be remote controlled and controlled with the dim switch and with a 1000W bulb and in boost it can go up to 1150W.

Closed & Vertical Ballast

The Dimlux Pro Series has a closed ballast instead of an open ballast. This to prevent moisture getting into the ballast. The ballast is mounted vertically to decrease the amount of light which is intercepted by the fixture. The Dimlux Pro Series has the least light interception during a full day light cycle.

Smar Ballast

The ballast is software upgradable and ready for the new digital controller platform

GEO MEMBRANE

This to equalize the pressure inside and outside the ballast, this is to prevent moisture getting into the ballast when cooling off.

Easy Removable Ultra Optics Reflector
Because the easier it gets the better and quicker it is especially when the reflector will be changed at high heights for replacement or cleaning. When growing in summer many greenhouse growers want to remove the reflector to prevent the reflector from deterioration and to decrease the amount of shadow on their plants.

Bulb Replacement

The Dimlux 315W CDM bulbs have a bayonet connector. When installing a new bulb, ensure that the two pins, one large and one small, are lined up with the holes in the socket, then push and turn to lock the bulb in place. The 1000W DE bulb has 2 wire clamps. The 600W Dimlux fixtures use 600W bulbs with E40 ‘screw in’ sockets. Simply unscrew the old bulb and screw in the new one, making sure that it is screwed in tight and straight to avoid any performance issues.

How to
Error codes

Each Dimlux fixture has its own self diagnosis system. A display on the side of each unit shows error and status information. 

Status
F-Flash = Soft off  –  The ballast is off because the dim button is on soft-off.
F-on = On-DB  –  The ballast is on, no maxi controller detected.
A-Flash = Off remote  –  The ballast is off by maxi controller. A-on = on remote The ballast is on by maxi controller.
1-strobo = Igniting  –  The ballast is igniting the lamp.

Error
2-On = HVP  – 
Error. The input voltage is too high.
3-On = LVP  –  Error. The input voltage is too low.
4-On = HTP  –  Error. The ballast is too hot.
5-On = Open  –  Error. Open contact or lamp failure.
6-On = Short Error. Short in lamp circuit or lamp failure. 7-On = EOL Error. Replace lamp.
