I am trying to figure out a way to control all 3 of my HLG lights from the AC Infinity 69 Pro system. I have one UIS adapter with a 3 way adapter to plug all 3 lights into it but its not working.
How can this be accomplished? HELP!
I tried using a 3 ways adapter and plugged all 3 lights into one UIS controller into port 3 on the 69 pro unit and still no reading.
Whats this stuff about Jh11 and its connections to one light then daisy chaining them? It looks like im going to have to go this route. Does anyone have any experience with this? I just know enough about electronics to get my guitar hooked up and running. This is pretty much the same idea so it doesn’t take much for me to catch on. Im just slow at first. Its how my mind operates. Its like engraving something onto a sheet of steele. It takes awhile to put it there but, once its there, its there to stay.
If you are using the UIS plug, you may be pulling to much power from your lights for that one plug. It should have a rating, may want to check. I’m not completely familiar with watts and amps. I think @dbrn32 could help or atleast maybe tag someone who knows more electrical.
Thats correct. Im pulling 760 watts with all 3 lights combined but the plug is rated at 1800 watts so that cant be why. Im going to have to call HLG customer service and bug them i guess. Im probably going to have to buy 3 of those jh11 adapters and daisy chain them by re wiring them and/or adding these phone jacks looking connectors but i need to get the low down first. Thank you for your help…

Does 1 light work? Maybe try just 1 or 2. Just a thought

No, i tried just one. No go bud… what i am going to have to do is buy a few more adapters to wire them into the lights. Theres nothing easy about this hobby, thats for sure. We invest alot into growing these plants. Every time i think i got all i need and everything is correct. Boom… here comes another dilemma…hahahaha… ill eventually will figure this out. It would be so nice to get my lights on a timer that will regulate them selves. Because i know once i switch to 12/12 ill forget to turn the lights off, im sure of it… I’m growing photos…i seen you taged Dbrn. Thanks.

There’s always the mechanical wall timers. A pair of them is like, $10. I used them for a couple years. They start getting a little noisier clicking after a while, but nothing major. I upgraded to a digital wall timer anyway.

Which ACI adapter are you using. They have 2 different ones on their website for connecting other branded lights to their controllers . Type A and type B.

I had the same issues with my Mars Hydro lights. I had ordered the wrong adapter.

Turning light on and off via plug and dimming are 2 different functions. Getting rj11 plug adapter won’t send power to light, it will just give dimming control.
If you get the uis to turn one light on it should turn all 3 on provided maximum load isn’t exceeded. If you can’t get one light on then you have an issue with setup or a faulty adapter.

Just to be clear, are you plugging your lights directly into power outlets right? With AC Infinity Controller, the only thing connected to it is the UIS lighting adapter.
I’m assuming you’re powering your controller from another device like a fan or control plug?

I hope this helps there’s a lot there. There splitter is “proprietary” and all devices through it get the same program… Not individually controlled… Controlled in a group.
