VLC-4
2. FEATURES
The VLC-4 is a light dimmer controller that
is used to regulate the light intensity in live-
stock buildings. It offers great flexibility in
the light intensity adjustment. Many options
are provided to assure the light intensity is
always adapted to the animals' needs as they
are growing.
MAIN FEATURES:
LCD display —
An LCD display provides an
efficient interface for displaying, monitoring
and adjusting parameter values.
Pilot lights & LED display —
pilot lights indi-
cating the state of outputs and a led display
showing the current light intensity allow the
user to monitor the operation of the system
without having to enter the building.
10 Light programs —
the controller can use
up to 10 different light programs based on the
animal age. The light intensity thus always
suits the animals' requirements.
6 Sunrise/ sunset cycles —
up to 6 cycles
can be enabled in each light program to
change the light intensity within the day. The
light intensity can gradually increase at the
beginning of a cycle and gradually decrease
at the end of a cycle to simulate a sunrise
and a sunset.
Light peaks —
short and marked increases in
the light intensity can be added to stimulate
the animals. When enabled, the peaks are
performed regularly according to a user-
defined frequency.
Automatic / manual mode —
the user can eas-
ily switch to a manual mode that permits to
adjust the light intensity to a specific value.
Password protection —
a password feature
is used to restrict access to the controller
setup functions.
Backup battery —
a backup battery allows
the unit to keep time and settings in case of
a power failure.
Overload and overvoltage protection —
re-
settable fuses are provided at low-voltage
inputs and outputs of the controller to pro-
tect its circuitry in the case of an overload
or overvoltage.
Computer control —
the controller can be
connected to a computer, thus making it
possible to centralize the management of
information and diversify control strategies.
