IQ SERIES UV DRIVERS WITH SCALABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Each product in our iQ Series is a Program Start cULus recognized and CE compliant chassis, powered by a microprocessor-controlled driver. All iQ Series products feature stop/start/dim capabilities and RS485 communication, providing real-time information on ballast and lamp status, lamp current, and voltage per channel, as well as a lamp hours counter. They also offer a variable preheat time between four to twelve seconds for added flexibility.

The iQ Series includes drivers with lamp currents ranging from 425 mA to 2.1 A and is available in both 2-channel and 4-channel versions. These microprocessors can be networked to manage up to 1,020 addressable lamps, demonstrating their scalable control technology. The system operates via firmware on the micro daughter board, communicating with the 'Robertson Exerciser' on a PC through a USB connection. Our published protocol enables easy interface to existing PLC systems.
