The NCON E3 Smart Power Controller (SPC) is a microprocessor-controlled power management system that is installed at the switchboard and is connected to a lighting circuit or multiple lighting circuits. Each unit, depending on the model used, has the capacity to handle up to 600 x 36 watt fluorescent tubes or the equivalent load of HID (Metal Halide, Mercury Vapour etc) lamps. Installation is a simple exercise that can be handled by any qualified electrical contractor.
The product is designed to automatically manage the voltage level supplied to the lamps, within predefined limits, always "starting" lights at full nominal voltage supply and thereafter maintaining the lighting, without discernible light loss, at a reduced voltage. Should extra banks be switched on, the SPC "sensing" the change in demand, automatically switches to full power mode before subsequently reverting to economy mode.

Microprocessor
NCON has developed a unique concept with their "once only programmable" microprocessor technology. This allows us to interface with most building management systems, provide comprehensive data read outs and program varied and flexible solutions for clients requirements and different lighting types.
Features and Benefits
By lowering the power consumption of the lamps, NCON provides these immediate benefits to end-users:
- Lower power consumption
- Creates large energy savings
- Cooler operation, reducing air conditioning costs
- High reliability
- Easy installation
- Reduction in Greenhouse gas emissions
- Longer fluorescent tube life resulting in lower maintenance costs
- Improved power factor - improves power pricing in some areas
- Simplicity of operation
- High safety and digital reliability
Unit life (MTBR) is estimated to be 10+ years.
