Dynamic Growcast Daisy Chaining

Dynamic Growcast Daisy Chaining – This guide explains how to synchronise multiple Telos Dynamic fixtures using Growcast, ensuring streamlined control in commercial scale grow operations. The Dynamic range is engineered for efficiency in multi-fixture environments, enabling precision lighting control via the Telos Mesh app on iOS and Android.

A single Growcast unit can control up to 24 Telos Dynamic fixtures by daisy-chaining the output signal. This synchronises PPFD intensity and lighting schedules across all connected fixtures.

Required Equipment:

To daisy-chain multiple Telos Dynamic fixtures, you will need:

Telos Dynamic Grow Lights – up to 24 fixtures
Growcast Lighting Controller not required for Dynamic 930
Smart device with the Telos Mesh app installed
Telos Power Link Kit*
Telos Dimming Link Kit* (not required for Dynamic 930)

*Telos Power Link Kits and Telos Dimming Link Kits sold separately.

Powering Multiple Telos Dynamic Fixtures:

Begin by connecting your Telos Dynamic fixtures using a Telos Power Link Kit. Using a Power Link T-connector, connect the first fixture to the second using a Power Link Cable. The number of fixtures that can be daisy-chained depends on the model and voltage: Once linked, the first fixture will draw power directly to the mains, then power all linked fixtures. The number of fixtures that can be daisy-chained for power, depends on the model and voltage:

	120VAC	220VAC
Telos Dynamic 930	4 units	7 units
Telos Dynamic 1200	3 units	6 units
Telos Dynamic 1960	2 units	4 units
Telos Dynamic 2400	1 unit	3 units

Dimming Multiple Telos Dynamic Fixtures:

Once the power connections are set up, use a Telos Dimming Link Kit to connect the fixtures to a Growcast.

Dimming Link Cables connect the dimming output port of the first fixture to the input port of the second, continuing down the chain. Except for the Telos Dynamic 930, the Dimming Link Kit connects 24 Dynamic fixtures. Telos Dynamic 930 has Growcast’s smart light scheduling technology integrated.

Refer to the official Telos Dynamic installation guide for precise daisy-chaining instructions.

Setting up Growcast:

Install the Growcast Controller into the dimming input port of the first Telos Dynamic fixture. It powers on automatically by drawing energy directly from the fixture. Eliminating the need for additional power cables.

In the Telos app, tap “Add Device” to begin automatic pairing. Select the model of your Dynamic fixture from the app’s library, then configure the number of connected fixtures. This enables accurate light and full system synchronisation.

Large-scale Growing, Seamless Scalability:

For larger installations, simply add additional Growcasts. No Wi-Fi routers or external hubs are needed.

Growcast keeps growers at the cutting edge of horticultural lighting technology. It is built for scalability and long-term performance. Regular firmware updates deliver new features without needing hardware changes.
