Programmable Lighting Controls
Versatile and reliable light control for the poultry industry
Light intensity (brightness) and light duration are important factors in poultry production. Light intensity affects bird aggression, feed consumption, and water consumption. Light duration affects reproductive cycles, egg production cycles, total feed consumption, and growth rates. Studies have shown that a well-designed lighting program can improve the productivity of your poultry operation.
Phason's Programmable Lighting Controls allow you to control light duration and intensity and automatically adjust them during the birds’ life cycle.
Designed primarily for poultry barns, the Programmable Lighting Controls are loaded with powerful and useful features. With multiple outputs and programs, the Programmable Lighting Controls allow you to easily design control programs that work for your operation.
Programmable Lighting Controls have variable AC outputs for dimming incandescent lights, general-purpose relays for turning lights on and off or operating devices such as feed augers, and variable 0 to 10 volt DC outputs for operating DC-controlled fluorescent lights. Programmable Lighting Controls also include an alarm relay for signaling power failures.
The LCD display shows status and setting information and the four-button keypad allows you to easily scroll through the information and program the control.
The real-time clock and power-failure memory retention means you will never lose your settings and program status because of a power failure.
Phason offers two models of Programmable Lighting Controls: the PLC-1 and the PLC-2. All lighting controls, including slave units, are CSA approved and built to our high quality standards.
Optional PLC accessories and slave units
Phason’s Programmable Lighting Controls have optional accessories designed to increase your lighting control options and make it even easier to set up multiple controls.
Slave units
Slave units allow you to increase the lighting capacity of a PLC. Installation is simple and there is no additional configuration required; all slave units follow the programs and settings of the master control.
There are two models of slave units: Single-Phase Slave (PSU-20) and Three-Phase Slave (PLC-2SDC).
PLC Saver
The PLC Saver allows you to keep a backup of your configuration and lighting programs. The PLC Saver stores a complete copy of a PLC's configuration and settings in only seconds. You can also use the PLC Saver to transfer the information to other PLCs. This means you can set up a PLC in seconds!
