The MDT-1 combines the function of the DRT-1 with the ability to control the photoperiod of your gardens HID lighting. Control your lights with the 24-hour time clock, and control pumps or other devices that must be activated on a repeating cycle. The MDT-1 features a Hi-Temp shut-down allowing the user to set a maximum temperature. In the event of overheating, the MDT-1 will shut off the lighting and record the maximum temperature and time of occurrence. Hot start prevention monitors the incoming power and will disable the HID lights in the event of a power failure. After a user selectable delay, the HID lamps are permitted to re-start.
