At the heart of the LDC unit is an intelligent microprocessor, capable of sensing the various lamp types, determining the most efficient use for each lamp type, and initiating the proper voltage for each.

The LDC unit is built with our newly patented magnetic transformer, controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller). This PLC enables the user to control the lighting levels while maintaining the sine wave, eliminating harmonics and maintaining the proper power factor.

LDC microprocessor-controlled HID Lighting Controllers have the ability to control the wattage range in different industrial lighting applications. This includes Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, High and Low Pressure Sodium and Fluorescent lamps. The energy savings achieved can be significant, reducing energy costs and, at the same time, helping to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses into the environment.

All LDC controllers have the built-in intelligence to operate lighting systems within NEMA guidelines for dimming of HID (High Intensity Discharge) and fluorescent lamps.

LDC controllers can also work directly with motion and lumen sensors or integrate with existing EMS (Energy Management Software) systems to maximize savings and increase control capabilities.

The built-in PLC (Programmable Logic Control) continuously displays the LDC's status, current time, or countdown to the next event. All programmability and scheduling functions are available and easily programmed on the PLC's keypad, located on the front of the LDC's enclosure. The PLC keypad is password protected for security and safety. Event scheduling can be up to one year in advance. Manual control is available from the panel or optionally from a remote pushbutton set, but is under the LDC's strict, intelligent supervision so that lamps are always operated according to NEMA and lamp manufacturer guidelines.
Models are available to suit a wide range of applications and facility size. Standard models include capacity from 2 KVA up to 200 KVA. Lower capacity models have from 2 to 5 energy-saving levels of operation and higher capacity models have up to 16 levels of operation. Models for single phase, 3 phase, or 3-single phase operation are available. Models configured for 3-single phase operation can be programmed to operate three separate zones of lighting from one LDC panel !

LDC controllers are available with a unique, integrated, automatic bypass that assures continued lighting even if there is a system problem.

In addition, there is a low supply voltage protection feature that automatically raises lamp voltage when a low supply voltage situation is sensed.

Also unique is the LDC's ability to accept unbalanced loads, due to the specially designed transformer. And, at all times the power source's sinusoidal waveform is maintained, assuring a "continuously clean" power supply to the lighting system.
