Gavita ECM1 - Control module

Product detailed description

As the EL2F works on a low voltage output, it’s not capable of switching auxiliary equipment. But with the External Contactor Module, the EL2F controller is used to switch on or off auxiliary equipment such as heaters, dehumidifiers and CO2 equipment to match lights on and lights off cycles.

The Gavita Master controller EL2 has two outputs for optional External Contactor Modules (ECMs). These industry grade contactor units can switch a load up to 15 amps of accessories during either lights on or lights off period. As the ECMs are steered by a low voltage signal you can even locate them close to the accessories themselves, enabling easy installation and optimal flexibility. The come with localized male and female plugs so that installing auxiliary equipment is just a matter of plug and play.
