Gavita Master Controller Gen 2 – Master Controller for E-Series Ballasts

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Gavita Master Controller Gen 2?

  It is the brain of an E-Series installation: it connects all compatible Gavita ballasts and fixtures over the RJ14 bus and runs them as a single system. By centralising control you avoid adjusting unit by unit and reduce the start-up peak for the whole room.

• Which functions does it control?

  It programmes the light cycle, the output power of each ballast and the ramp-up and ramp-down phases, simulating sunrise and sunset. Everything is managed from a single point for the entire installation.

• What is the difference between the EL2 and EL2F versions?

  The EL2 Gen 2 is the standard version, with 2 outputs for ECM contactor modules. The EL2F Gen 2 uses the same electronics but comes with a built-in contactor and fuse, so it needs no external modules to switch the load.

• Is it complicated to install?

  No, installation is plug & play: it connects to compatible Gavita ballasts and fixtures via the RJ14 E-Series control bus. Once connected, you run the whole installation from the controller.

• Is it available for immediate dispatch?

  The EL2 Gen 2 is supplied to order, so the delivery time cannot be guaranteed. We recommend contacting us before placing your order to confirm availability. Please also bear in mind that the published weights are estimates, as the supplier does not provide the official figure.

• What are the benefits of the sunrise and sunset ramps?

  The ramp-up and ramp-down phases make the light rise and fall gradually instead of switching abruptly. On top of that, staggering the start-up of the units reduces the initial consumption peak of the whole room.
