Precision PAR works with all GrowFlux lighting controls, including the Universal Dimmer.

The Universal Dimmer scales to very large greenhouses with GrowFlux Mesh; the Pro Access Point can support up to 500 Universal Dimmers, and each Universal Dimmer can connect to 50 lights, allowing for up to 25,000 lights in a single control zone.

Precision PAR works with any dimmable LED grow light with 0-10V analog dimming and dim-to-off capability. Most LED grow lights currently available on the market have this capability. 

Precision PAR can be used with dimmable HPS lights as well; contact GrowFlux for a custom quotation.

For lights with proprietary digital interfaces, please contact GrowFlux.

Precision PAR can control dimmable HPS lights that use an analog 0-11.5v dimming interface. Contact us if you are interested in HPS control with Precision PAR. 

For standard Precision PAR control, a sensor is required for each group of lights with unique settings. Since Precision PAR places sensors at the plant canopy, each sensor receives both natural and supplemental light. Likewise, each sensor is also providing an accurate PPFD history and daily light integral (DLI) for each group of lights. 

Multiple zones with unique settings can be controlled from one sensor - contact GrowFlux for more information.

Precision PAR works by sensing PAR levels below the lights at the plant canopy level. We understand that this may not be possible for all greenhouses. If you need to mount PAR sensors at the top of your greenhouse, we can provide the necessary customizations to your account and guide you through the setup process. Please contact us for a quotation. 

Additional Precision PAR sensors may be added to your lighting control network if you need more control granularity or more zones of control. This is helpful for precision control requirements where the edges of a greenhouse may have lower PAR levels than the center, or when cultivation requirements change and more granular control is needed. 

Relationships between lighting controls and PAR sensors can be managed easily with Digital Zoning.

The basic Access Point supports up to 50 Precision PAR sensor hubs, and the Pro Access Point supports 100 Precision PAR PAR sensor hubs. 

Each lighting controller configured with Precision PAR has a backup light schedule, so if a lighting controller doesn’t receive data from sensors, the lighting controller defaults to the dimming level set in the schedule. 

Lighting controls can be added or removed from zones running Precision PAR, and those lighting controllers will absorb the same settings as other devices in the same zone in real time. 

Precision PAR is networked with GrowFlux Mesh and is capable of reliable, long range communication. Each PAR sensor hub typically communicates over 500 feet through walls in an indoor environment. Each PAR sensor hub also functions as a GrowFlux Mesh repeater, extending the reach of your GrowFlux Mesh network.

GrowFlux Mesh utilizes sub-GHz frequencies rather than the commonly used 2.4GHz band, allowing GrowFlux Mesh devices to penetrate further and deeper into buildings and concrete structures.

Precision PAR can integrate with external control systems, and GrowFlux offers both hardware and software integration methods. Contact us for a quotation.
