HLG lights and Ac Infinity controllers

Indoor Growing
1

Hey,

I recently purchased an Ac Infinity fan that came with 69 pro controller. I have a 200rspec from HLG and I am having issues finding the correct adapter cord to hookup the hlg light to the AC Infinity controller

My only option appears to be running the light to an AC Infinity plug controller and controlling it that way.

On Ac Infinity’s website they market their controllers as being compatible with HLG lights. The adapter their speaking of is a modex or something adapter that appears to be like a computer modem cords.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It depends on which driver you have (Meanwell or Inventronics).

If your driver is currently using a potentiometer for dimming you should be able to use this guide to replace it with a RJ11/12 jack (I used this guide for my meanwell driver).

Does the dimmer box on your light have an RJ-11/12 plug? If not you may not be able to do more than control with the UIS AC outlet. I don’t see any indication on HLG’s website that their power supplies or dimmers are able to be controlled by any third party controllers.

Does it matter that my light is the 200 watt model. This guide to conversion dictates that it’s for the larger models.

Thank you by the way

That I don’t know. If you want to post a picture of your driver and the model # we can see if we can find out.

I’d also reach out to HLG support to confirm.

That PDF is posted here under “How to replace the potentiometer/ dimmer on HLG 550 and 650R”

Honestly it’s almost comical to me that HLG stopped selling their lights in diy kits “to provide better quality” but they now have this diy dimmer replacement in order to connect a third party dimmer.

No.
The dimmer specs are the same for all models of the manufacturer’s LED drivers. To my knowledge, they all copy each other (to be compatible).

There are 3 ways to dim the driver:

  • 0~100K ohm pot (use linear not log)
  • PWM (pulse width modulated)
  • 0~10Vdc (output can be slightly weird close to zero)
