Helios 3 –240 Volt / 4 Light
Controller Overview
The Helios 3 lighting controller is specifi cally designed for operation of high intensity discharge
(HID) lighting systems. The controller will run your lights for any sequence over a 24 hour
period by using either an optional premium German manufactured analog timer or a 120 Volt
relay activation cord set. The controller can handle up to a maximum of four (4) 1000 watt HID
metal halide or high pressure sodium (HPS) grow lights. There is a 120 Volt accessory outlet
located on the front of the controller. This outlet is only active when your lights are 'ON' and
may be used to power devices up to 2 amps, such as an in-line lamp ventilation fan or a pump.
The Helios 3 lighting controller provides up to 30 amps of capacity on a standard 240 volt
circuit. The Helios 3 is built with only the highest quality components and will provide the user
with years of trouble free service.
Instructions for Operation
*Please consult with a licensed electrician prior to installation of the Helios 3.
*DO NOT install this controller yourself if you DO NOT fully understand these instructions. High
voltage is dangerous!
• Connect your incoming 240 Volt power to the 3 screws under the protective back cover.
Black/hot leg ( left screw), neutral (center screw) & red/hot leg(right screw).
* Securely mount your Helios 3, using the hardware included, near your enclosure and away
from any spray/water/mist, etc.
• Hardwire or plug the controller into a confi rmed 240 volt power source.
*Verify that all your wiring connections are tight and that no loose wires are exposed.
* Plug your lights into the outlets on the right and left side of the controller.
* Adjust the analog timer to the current time of day. Set your timing pattern by pushing the
'time trippers' towards the center of the timer OR plug the relay activation cord set into Apollo
Series120 Volt wall timer.
• Make sure that all wires and cables have been properly secured.
• Turn on the power switch to activate your light bank. When the relay is activated you will hear
a "Click" sound.
• Your Helios 3 will now control your lights at the desired settings until the power is defeated.
•To change your lamps, turn 'OFF' the power switch and replace bulb.
Caution: Lamps are hot and should be allowed to cool completely before handling.
