EC-3 Controller Board

Description

The Growlink EC-3 Controller board is designed for commercial grow rooms and container farms. The base controller includes eight solid state relays with manual override switches for controlling external devices. You can switch any low-voltage equipment or Growlink can provide custom engineered UL listed line voltage interfacing equipment either in separate panels or in a single combined enclosure with the EC-3. Growlink controllers can be expanded with both wired and wireless I/O Modules for all sensor inputs and equipment control outputs. The system is expanded as needed by simply adding additional controllers connected together through wireless IP network. All control programs are executed from the controllers. When you access the Growlink system onsite you you are communicating directly with the controllers. When offsite you can access the controllers from a PC or Growlink iOS and Android apps.

All components are matched to the controlled loads and panels arrive fully pre-wired and tested.
