Pearl Dimmable Light Controller

What is the Pearl Dimmable Light Controller?

The Pearl Dual-Zone Dimmable Light Controller is a precision lighting control unit designed for spaces requiring independent control of two lighting zones, with automatic adjustments based on background light and environmental conditions.

    1. Core Features:

      1. Two 0–10V Analog Outputs:

        Controls two independent dimmable lighting circuits ("banks"), ideal for zone-based lighting automation.

      2. Two 0–10V Analog Inputs:

        Accepts signals from two separate light sensors, enabling responsive dimming based on natural or artificial light levels in different zones.

      3. Integrated Temperature and Humidity Sensor:

        Monitors room conditions in real time. Thresholds can be set to raise alerts or initiate automation responses.

      4. External Triggering Support:

        Can send control signals to external systems (e.g., alarms, HVAC, fans) when environmental thresholds are reached.

        Note: Requires an optional external output module.

    2. Integration Notes:

      1. Outputs and inputs use industry-standard 0–10V control signals.

      2. Sensors should be calibrated to expected brightness levels for proper dimming behavior.

      3. Controller configuration may require software or hardware interface, depending on installation type.
