Helios
®
6 –240 Volt / 8 Light Controller
Overview
The Helios
®
6 lighting controller is specifically designed for operation of high intensity discharge
(HID) lighting systems. The controller will run your lights for any sequence over a 24 hour period
by using the dual 120 Volt relay activation cord set and plugging them into a 24 hour wall timer.
This dual trigger timing system allows the grower to run two different timing schedules (i.e. one
12 hour light schedule & one 18 hour light schedule) if desired. It’s like having two separate
four(4) light controllers in one! The system can handle up to a maximum of eight (8) 1000 watt
HID metal halide or high pressure sodium (HPS) grow lights. This lighting controller provides up
to 50 Amps of capacity on a standard 240 volt circuit. The Helios
®
6 is built with only the highest
quality components and will provide the user with years of trouble free service.
Instructions for Operation
• Must be installed by a certified electrician.
• DO NOT install this controller by yourself if you DO NOT fully understand these instructions.
High Voltage is dangerous!
• Securely mount your Helios
®
6, using the mounting hardware included, to the wall near your
grow area and away from any spray/water/mist, etc.
• Remove the 7 black screws that attach the front panel of the
Helios
®
6 to the chassis. Detach front cover and carefully set to
the side. (See Figure A)
• Connect your incoming 240 Volt power to the terminal block and
torque lug screw to 120 IN LBS, using a 3/16” allen wrench.
Improper torquing may result in loose connections and will void
your warranty. Verify that all wiring connections are tight and
there are no loose connections. (See Figure B)
• Re-attach front panel to the back chassis using the 7 black
screws. Test that the Helios
®
6 is functioning properly upon
installation. Activate power to controller from panel. Using the
left trigger cord, plug into a 120 Volt outlet to engage relay. Take
a volt meter and test the 240 Volt power output and verify that
you’ve got 240 Volt power to each outlet on left side. Unplug
left trigger cord. Using the right trigger cord, plug into a 120 Volt
outlet to engage relay. Take a volt meter and test the 240 Volt
power output and verify that you’ve got 240 Volt power to each
outlet on right side. Unplug right trigger cord. If you’ve got 240
Volt power coming from all outlets, your Helios
®
6 is functioning
properly. If not, have the Electrician give our Technical Support
line a call for assistance.
• Next, plug your 240 Volt ballasts (Maximum 8,000 Watts) into the
outlets on the right and left side of the controller.
• Adjust your 120 Volt appliance timer to the current time of day. Then set your HID lighting
schedule (i.e. 12 hours ON/12 hours OFF). Plug the relay trigger cord sets into the appliance
wall timer. Your Helios
®
6 will now operate your lights at the pre-set timing schedule.
CAUTION
: Lamps are hot and should allow to cool completely before handling.
To maintain warranty you MUST retighten incoming power connections every 90 days.
