Intuitive and Affordable Light Control

Equipped with flawless touch control and a vivid color display, the Spectral Controller X is effortless light control at the touch of your fingertips. Its straightforward approach to light control programming allows for endless customization options without the confusion. The sleek, modern design ensures a beautiful and cohesive setup that won`t disrupt the look of your aquarium.

Smart K-Link Communication

The new K-Link communication method is an upgrade of the easily plug & play 0-10V, allowing users to network multiple A360X or  APP9X together(up to 32 fixtures per chain) and set individual groups to run their own programs. K-Link is also a two-way communication, meaning the Spectral Controller X can detect the number of lights in the network, the status of the lights, etc.

One Controller, Two Ports - Backward Compatible

Each controller is equipped with one K-Link port and one 0-10V output port. The K-Link port allows users to connect to the new Kessil fixtures (A360X and AP9X), while the 0-10V port is for Kessil’s 0-10V light fixtures.

Program Mode

Features two ways of setting a customized light schedule to match individual tank needs.
Maximum of 12 programs can be created

Quick Set: Create unique dawn and dusk effects by altering light intensity and color throughout eight different time points.

Acclimation Mode: Simplify the introduction of new lights to a tank or new corals to an existing setup with acclimation mode. The acclimation timeline can be customized to suit specific needs.

Manual Mode

Manual Mode: Instantly tune color and intensity for on demand light customization.

Compatibility

The Spectral Controller X is compatible with the A360X, the AP9X, and all the 0-10V Kessil lights*

Product Information

Overview

Equipped with flawless touch control and a vivid color display, the Spectral Controller offers effortless light control at the touch of your fingertips. Its straightforward approach to light control programming allows for endless customization options without the confusion. The sleek, modern design ensures a beautiful and cohesive setup that won`t disrupt the look of your aquarium.

Power to the Kessil Spectral Controller X can be provided in one of two ways. 

  1. Plug the provided K-Link cable male to the K-Link female on the Spectral Controller X. Then plug the other male end of the K-Link cable to the A360X or AP9X K-Link female port. Plug the fixture`s power supply and cable to an AC wall outlet. It is that simple! The K-Link Cable will provide both data and power from the light to the Spectral Controller X.  
  2. If you have an older generation Kessil light (Kessil A80, A160, A360, H160), you can still use the Spectral Controller X with a few adaptations. You will need a Micro USB cable (included), as well as the Kessil 90 Degree Link Cable (sold separately).

Great Controller for K-Link Lights

PROS
Fantastic features for K-Link A360X lights.
CONS
Compatible with Kessil 0-10V lights but very limited, needs better programming instructions.
REVIEW
I have the A360WE (which is 0-10V) and most of the really nice features will not work. You can program your own schedule for color and intensity but that is about it. I would rather have a hard wired controller than a WiFi app, but that is just my preference, and this one is reasonably priced. It ...Read More
