APBC1000 - USER MANUAL
OVERVIEW
Autopilot has designed an intermediary box that will take the analog 0-10V signal input from
commercial environmental controllers and will convert into the digital RS-485 Phantom brand lighng
signal. The APBC1000 signal converter allows Phantom brand lighng products to adjust the light
intensity based on what readings the quantum sensor is communicang back to the commercial
environmental controller (greenhouse producon facility). Alternately, if the grow is relying solely on
arcial lighng, the signal converter can operate without the quantum sensor, allowing the grower to
manually control lighng intensity (indoor producon facility).
