Gavita Master Controller EL3

Centralize Commercial Grow Room Control with the Gavita EL3

The Gavita Master Controller EL3 is the hub of a commercial Gavita LED grow light installation -- from a single touchscreen, it can manage up to 512 connected Gavita fixtures across two independently controlled zones, translating dimming schedules and sensor data into automated lighting adjustments throughout every crop cycle. For commercial operations running multiple Gavita LED fixtures, the EL3 turns individual fixtures into a coordinated, data-driven lighting system.

Key Features & Benefits

• Manages Up to 512 Fixtures Across 2 Zones: Issues dimming and scheduling commands to large arrays from one control point, with each zone independently programmable for different growth stages or room configurations.
• Supports Up to 16 Titan Controls Sensors: Connects up to 16 Titan Controls environmental sensors (such as Tali VPD or Triton substrate sensors) via EL3-to-Titan Sensor Adapter Cables, sold separately, feeding real-time conditions into the controller's automated responses.
• Environmental Response Automation: Programs automated dimming and scheduling responses to sensor-detected conditions -- such as temperature-triggered dimming to protect crops during heat events -- reducing the need for constant manual monitoring.
• Scheduling and Light Recipe Programming: Supports programmable light schedules and intensity profiles for each growth stage, enabling consistent, repeatable crop cycles without daily manual fixture adjustments.
• Scalable to Large Commercial Arrays: Built to manage the fixture counts and sensor networks found in professional greenhouse and indoor cultivation facilities.

Who Should Use This

Commercial indoor cultivators and greenhouse operators running multiple Gavita LED fixtures who want centralized, automated control of light intensity, scheduling, and environmental response without fixture-by-fixture adjustments. The EL3 is built for any commercial Gavita installation where consistent, data-driven light management is a priority.

Compatibility

Compatible with the Gavita CT 1930e, E-Series 1700e, RS 2400e, RS 1900e, and other EL3-compatible Gavita LED grow lights (fixtures using legacy EL1/EL2 controllers are not compatible with the EL3). Titan Controls sensor adapter cables are sold separately. Verify compatibility with your specific Gavita fixture models before deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Gavita fixtures can one EL3 controller manage?

A single EL3 can manage up to 512 connected Gavita fixtures, split across two independently controllable zones. This lets one controller handle distinct dimming and scheduling profiles for two separate rooms or canopy sections.

How many Titan Controls sensors can the EL3 support?

The EL3 supports up to 16 Titan Controls sensors, such as Tali VPD or Triton substrate sensors, each connected via its own EL3-to-Titan Sensor Adapter Cable. These feed real-time environmental data into the controller's dimming and scheduling logic.

Can I use the EL3 with older Gavita fixtures?

The EL3 is designed for current EL3-compatible fixtures such as the CT 1930e, E-Series 1700e, and RS series. Fixtures built for the legacy EL1 or EL2 controllers are not compatible with the EL3 -- verify your fixture model's controller generation before purchasing.

When would I need to program separate dimming zones?

Separate zones are useful when running two rooms, two canopy sections, or two crop stages from one controller -- for example, dimming a vegetative zone differently than a flowering zone. Each zone can carry its own schedule and sensor response settings.
