I am not sure, I got a '6 way digital power bar' July of 07. How do I tell if it is a series 1 or 2?


A 'worn' outlet seems plausible - The plug on my MH is already a big thick one and I would also like to use that outlet for other equipment. Is there a way that I could replace / fix that outlet besides using bigger plugs?

I don't think that it is a broken fuse because If I wiggle whatever is plugged into the outlet I can get it to work sometimes. Regardless, how do I check if the fuse needs replacing?

i'm not sure the exact length but i'm using the connection cables that came with the units so whatever the length of each cord times 3

Silly Question. How many Tunze power heads can I control with the profilux??

total of 8

:biggrin:

Ok I am planning on running a total 4 tunze 4055's. 2 on each side of the tank for that awsome wave action. I currently have the tunze line one & the tunze line 2 is there any thing else I will need ??

You will require a further T1 and T2 and YL2-1 splitter

Thanks Michael,

I will call Joel this week and set up an order. On Another topic any idea on the GHL chiller prices??

Yep GHL PTC prices are with dealers there is a promo on right now.

Release date first week of August, only 3 months late :(

Hi Michael,

So I have finaly picked up my tunze's. I have 4 x 4055 and I am planning on running 2 on each side of my tank. So my goal is to set up a simple left then right flow. I currently have 2 of each t1 and t2 lines. Also 2 splitters however I only have 1 free port. I assume I am going to need another splitter yet is this correct???

Hi

You can run these off one port for example L1L2 etc

You will need to first split the port and then split it again thus giving you four outlets.

*&#%...... I thought I had a spare splitter at home,,,, arrrrrg another order from Joel..... The shipping is more then the splitter... Well that was stupid of me...

So my profilux has a L1-2 port, L3-4, and 2 S ports. I am running my 2 power bars taking up my S ports. I am running my 2 controllable ballasts from the L1-2 port and my LED bars on the L3-4 port. My goal is to run 4 Tunze in a wave pattern.

Am I correct to assume I am a port shy?

At this point i would suggest getting the EX upgrade kit, this will expand your capabilities greatly giving you L port 5-6 and also redox and salinity and level control 3 all without touching any of your 3 expansion sockets

Thanks Michael,

Your support of this Thread has been out standing. The biggest problem I seem to face is the set it and forget it. I mess with things about once every 4 months and have to re-learn a bunch of functions. So I am going to yank the LED's for the next month so I can run the Tunzes. I will contact Joel about the EX upgrade next month.

I am going to be adding a 4 pump dosing system within the year. With all the extra features now out for the system is there a risk of running out of ports?

In the long term no you wont :wink: , however if you are looking at running 1001 ph probes tomorrow then you might :lol:

if looking at running the dosing station i may suggest looking into the balling method of mineral and calcium replenishment, this is the method that has revolutionised the way things are done in Europe with huge success

I just purchased a Proflux Plus II With all the toys second hand.
One question I have is:
With my Fish room already 3 years running and the power sources all over the place is it possible to use longer RS232 cables or build your own cable.
Sorry this question could have been addressed already, but I'm a total noob

J

BTW I was able to upgrade the Firmware and PC software and the WAN is working perfectly.

Hi

You can use the ProfiserV5 which is 5 meters long, for downloads and uploads through RS232 you must use a genuine cable due to cross over

Welcome the the ProfiLux club :)

Thanks for the Welcome, Ive been trying to get into this club for awhile :). There are a lot of fans here on Canreef.

Sorry I didn't mean the RS232 but the phone type cable is what I'm looking to extend.

Argh the cable better known as VSL5, yes readily available and should be in stock with Progressive reef, you can extend up to 50'

Oh Crap I just placed an order with Progressive Reef. I guess I'll call them tomorrow to try and add to my order.

BTW I've never had replies so fast. where you waiting for me LOL

J

Nope just part of th service, but now i see you run the ZeoVit system we will have to pressure you endlessly to take up the Fauna marin Ultra Lith system :)

Oh that will be a hard sell. I've been on Zeovit since before it was available in Canada.
But you can try. LOL
I'm sure I'll have many more question in the next couple of days. I actually have nothing hooked up as of yet. I've just managed to ensure the WAN is working and everything is tanking. Tonight I'll find the ultimate spot for it. Then attach the lights and probs.


J

there will be a fauna thread just like this one here in a few days, so look out for it and the free samples. :lol:

Hi jason

I´am now also here for your questions :-)
Many greetings to canada
Claude

There you go one more mark for the Fauna camp, direct access to the boss and the developer - Claude

Good to see you here Claude :)

LOL OK but I'll stick to the Proflux Questions here.

Have another one for you. I have both the digital 4 and 6 power bar. I assumed I could just plug my 3 MH Ballast into 1 of the sockets. A friend told me I should only plug them into the High AMP socket. Is this true?

well no you cant plug 3 ballasts into one socket really you would be stretching the load of any power bar not just GHL

I wouls suggest if you do want to do this then yes opt for the High amp this saves you a socket and also spreads your load better.

Golden rule is knowing how many amps you are drawing on the power bar in total, which should not exceed for safety 13amps.

So if I plug each ballast into a seperate socket and had them turn on 5 minutes apart would that help spread the load of the initial start up? I run 3X Blueline E-ballast that run at 3.15AMPs

J

Sorry but to further my last post
If I plug each ballast into S1, S2, and S5 These sockets are rush protected and can handle upto 6.3AMPs. with my Ballast running at 3.15AMPs I should be fine. right?

Jason.

thats right jason. just make sure they go into the in rush amp sockets. if you have them in the other ones it sometimes causes the relays to stick and you have the light stuck on

Thanks Colin

J

Argh you have series one type power bars then you do need to use High amps on all sockets that are not high in rush protected.

Series 2 have all relays rated at 200amp.

Your new info is important

so if we have series 1 type bars is there warranty to upgrade to series 2?

?? no why would there be a warranty upgrade.

thats like saying i bought a 2006 BMW 3 series but they have brought out a new model with better features so i want my 2006 replaced with a 2008 under warranty.

Sorry maybe I read your question wrong I apologise if i have but if i read correct then no sorry..

whoa cowboy, i was kidding. had to try though

Trust me we get some of the most insane requests :redface:

Hey Michael,

I was wondering if you could find me a copy of the 6 plug digital powerbar instructions. I belive when I got mine it came with a sheet with some operating info on it.

Is there an indecation on the power bar as to what version they are?
