Grow Pros Data Bypass Chip/ RJ12 Crystal Head - Under Canopy Light Model 3 & 4

If you are planning on using a simple outlet timer to control your Under Canopy Lights then you will need a Data Bypass Chip to plug into the data side of the power cord. This will make the lights default to 100% ON when they get power from the wall. This chip by-passes the standard commercial setting that defaults the light to 0% OFF until it receives a data signal (from a 0-10V lighting controller) to turn on. This commercial setting prevents lights from turning on in the middle of the night if the data signal or an individual fixture malfunctions. However, without using a Data Bypass Chip or a lighting controller, the fixture will not turn on when it's powered on.

Simply put...

• If you plan on using your Under Canopy Lights with a lighting controller (e.g. Trolmaster or any other 0-10V controller) - you do not need to purchase a Data Bypass Chip.
• If you will not be using a lighting controller - you must purchase a Data Bypass Chip. 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• The Data Bypass M12 utilizes widely-adopted RJ12 connectors, ensuring easy integration with existing setups.
• This feature enables under-canopy lights to operate independently when no external controllers are linked.
• Its plug-and-play design facilitates quick deployment, allowing growers to set up their lighting systems swiftly and effortlessly.
• Specifically designed for under-canopy lights Model 1 4ft/8ft & under-canopy lights Model 2 4ft/8ft, the Data Bypass M12 ensures optimal performance and seamless integration with these models.
• The Data Bypass features gold-plated pins, which enhance conductivity and durability. This superior plating reduces corrosion, ensuring a more reliable and long-lasting connection, thereby maintaining optimal performance over extended periods.

The Data Bypass M12 is engineered to facilitate seamless control and turn on under-canopy lights Model 1 4ft/8ft & under-canopy lights Model 2 4ft/8ft using RJ12 data ports, especially in scenarios where no external controllers are connected. This feature is perfectly suited for both tent-based and hobbyist growing environments, ensuring reliable and efficient lighting management without the need for external data chains or transfers.

Important Notes

• Used when no controller dimming: This data bypass is designed for use when no controller is linked to under canopy lights, which would otherwise remain off. By interconnecting the channels within the lights, the bypass ensures normal operation without a controller, enabling the lights to turn on and function as expected.
• Operational Dependency: Under-canopy lights require either a connected controller or an installed data bypass to function properly. Without one of these in place, the lights will not activate, ensuring the system remains secure and preventing unintended operation. The data bypass interconnects the light channels, allowing the under-canopy lights to operate normally even when a controller is unavailable.
