Hi

Is there any news on getting a dimmable controller for aquarays that controls more than one tile/duo unit??

Or is there a way already??

Many thanks

at the moment we have no plans for developing controllers for 2 lamps

2 LEDControl can be used with a splitter on the 1-10V-side

I'm not sure I understand the question correctly but with the splitters and multiple LED Controller it's possible to control multiple unit, they will just react the same way.

With a P2/P3, you have 4 control lines (P2/P3 EX you have 6), so you could control 4 individual "sets" of multiples tiles.

Hi

I have already taken up a number of my 10v sockets.

I have 4 tiles at present, with maybe another on the way, if you have an option to control them all let me know, I assumed that I would need to purchase 5 controllers and a some new expansion cards, if I am wrong please help.

In my current sockets I have 4 Tunze and a t5 dimming controller, is there a way I can control all 4 Tunze in one socket to open up a spare socket??

thanks for your help

Are the 4 Tunze on 4 individual channel L1-L2, L3-L4? Do you have your T5 on L6?

Hi

That is yes to all your questions

L1+L2 - Tunze - splitter plugged into socket
L3+L4 - as above
L5+L6 - Dimmable card, powering 2 double ballasts

Many thanks

How many controling channel do you need for your aquarays tiles?

If you are talking about the tiles, I think they have 2 channels each so that would be 10.

I dont think I need to control them all though, maybe just three of them so 6 channels

Thanks for your help

Ok well if you add 2x PLM-4L it will give you 8 more channel, or if you want to combine some of control lines of the the tiles you could use just one.

Hi

I was under the impression that I would need this.

What do you mean by combining the control lines??? Do I have to purchase multiple dimming controllers??

I just want to know what I have to purchase and work out whether it is worth the outlay

I dont mind having all the tiles on the same dimming program

Again, many thanks for your help
