FAVEN CX2 CONTROLLER

What the CX2 Is

The Faven CX2 is the dedicated lighting controller for the Faven Chroma under-canopy LED line. It is the only controller that unlocks the full feature set of the Chroma fixture — without it, Chroma bars power on at factory defaults and the dimming, spectrum, and far-red channels are inaccessible. Plug the CX2 into the chain and every programmable capability the fixture carries becomes available at the panel.

The unit runs two fully independent channels. Channel 1 manages main output intensity and spectrum ratio across the R4–R9 range — dialing the red-to-white balance to match the growth stage or the overhead light source. Channel 2 is dedicated to the Chroma's 15W far-red output, allowing operators to time far-red delivery separately from the main spectrum without affecting overall canopy intensity. The controller operates on standard 100–240VAC and mounts via wall screws or integrated magnets — no tooling required for rack-side installation.

Who It's For

The CX2 is the right controller choice for commercial and craft operators running Faven Chroma under-canopy fixtures who want reliable zone-level lighting control without adding a networked automation platform to the room. It is particularly well-suited to multi-tier vertical grows, rolling bench flower rooms, and any facility where the overhead system already handles top-light scheduling and the under-canopy layer needs its own independent control loop.

Because it is fully offline — no router, no app, no cloud dependency — it suits SOPs that require deterministic, repeatable lighting execution. Settings lock via a long-press confirm function, preventing accidental adjustments during routine canopy work. Operators running separate veg and flower zones can use one CX2 per zone, running different spectrum recipes and schedules without cross-interference. Each channel supports up to 100 fixtures under standard daisy-chain configurations, scaling to 150 in certain layouts.

Key Features

Dual independent channels — one governing main Chroma output (intensity and R4–R9 spectrum ratio), one dedicated exclusively to the far-red channel — allow operators to run sunrise/sunset ramps, timed far-red finishing sequences, and mid-cycle spectrum shifts on a programmable daily schedule. The dimming range runs 40–100%, set manually or through time-based scheduling with programmable on, off, and optional ramp transitions.

The CX2 connects to Faven Chroma fixtures through standard Faven link ports — no additional wiring harness or adapter is required beyond the communication cables used throughout the Chroma daisy-chain. The unit is rated for operation in environments up to 50°C (122°F) and 80% relative humidity, consistent with the conditions found in dense commercial flower rooms. Built-in magnets allow tool-free positioning on steel vertical racks, making repositioning between runs straightforward.

How It Fits a Commercial Build

In a typical commercial Chroma deployment, one CX2 handles an entire room or a defined zone within a larger facility. Operators running multiple rooms or stages — veg, early flower, late flower — deploy one CX2 per zone to maintain independent lighting recipes without any signal bleed between channels. The offline, hand-operated format means the under-canopy layer stays functional even when facility-level automation systems are being serviced or updated.

For facilities already using Faven Chroma under-canopy bars, the CX2 is the purpose-built control interface — no workaround, no generic 0–10V dimmer, no third-party integration required. It is the controller Faven engineered for the Chroma system and the only unit that gives operators access to the full spectrum and far-red feature set those fixtures carry.
