Titan Controls Apollo 5 - 240 Volt Ballast Timer

The Titan Controls Apollo 5 is a 240 Volt timer designed specifically for grow ballasts, not a repurposed household timer. It uses a ballast-grade relay, capable of withstanding the high current surge generated by the lamp upon ignition; this is precisely why common mechanical timers get stuck or burn out after a few months.

Benefits

• Maximum 10 amp capacity at 240 Volt / 60 Hz, up to 1000 watts.
• Relay suitable for ballast inrush current, including digital ones.
• Precise 24-hour clock, German-made, for programming any photoperiod.
• Dust and moisture resistant cabinet and cover, with an IEC 320 cord that connects to any ballast.

How to use it

Plug the Apollo 5 into a 240 Volt outlet and connect the ballast to its output using the IEC 320 cable. Rotate the dial to the current time and lower the segments corresponding to the light period you want. Before powering on, confirm that the total load does not exceed 1000 watts or 10 amps.

Available at Pachamama with shipping throughout Costa Rica.

Instructions for use

• Verify that your installation is 240 V and that the ballast does not exceed 10 A or 1000 W before connecting it.
• Connect the IEC 320 cable to the ballast and plug the timer into the 240 V outlet; do not use it with loads other than lighting.
• Set the current time by rotating the dial to the reference mark.
• Set the trippers to define the ON and OFF times for the cycle.
• Close the plastic cover once programmed and mount it in a dry and ventilated place, away from irrigation and misting.
• Clean the casing with a dry cloth and with the equipment disconnected, and check that the cable and connections are still in good condition.
