Very interesting looking controller,

Just a quick question because I'm too lazy to sort through 26 pages! Does this have any sort of feature that would stop my sump pump in case of an overflow? For example a sensor that you could place and if it got wet it would cut power to the sump? If it saves my floor that's a huge plus right there

I also noticed that it can dim t-5's... are tek lights by sunlight supply compatible with this? Also which powerheads are supported (and which ones work even though not officially supported) by the whole variable speed thing? Thanks

Hi Slick,

I purchased the TEK T5 Ready Fit kits also and from what I understand, they are not dimmable.

The controller comes with a float sensor, that I will use to verify the level of water in my overflow and cut the return pump if it get's to high !

I think this should work.

Regards,
Ginzo

3.10.1 Operational mode
There is a choice of four different operational modes:
• 1 adjustment cycle Only one level-sensor input is evaluated. As soon as sensor 1 registers too low a level the switchable socket outlet with the function Water 1 is switched on. When the nominal level is attained the socket outlet is switched off again.
• 2 independent adjustment cycles The two sensors can be used independently of one another. As soon as sensor 1 registers too low a level the switchable socket outlet with the function Water 1 is switched on, and the same applies to sensor 2 and Water 2. In both cases switch-off occurs when the nominal level is attained.
• Min/Max adjustment The two sensors work together to regulate a single water level. Sensor 1 functions as the maximum switch, sensor 2 as the minimum switch. As soon as sensor 2 registers too low a level the switchable socket outlet with the function Water 1 is switched on. Then when the water level reaches the setting for sensor 1 the switchable socket outlet is switched off again. The switchable socket outlet Water 2 switches on and off in line with Water 1.
• Water change At pre-set times water is drained off (the switchable socket outlet with the function Water 2 is then switched on) until sensor 2 signals the minimum water level has been reached. Thereafter Water 2 is switched off and the switchable socket outlet Water 1 is switched on until the water reaches the level set for sensor 1. -> Sensor 1 signals that the tank is full again, sensor 2 indicates when sufficient water has been drained off. The switchable socket outlet Water 1 turns on the fresh water supply, Water 2 turns on the outflow. After selecting this operational mode the timer that is to determine the timing of the water change must be selected. Don’t forget to program the chosen timer accordingly in the appropriate menu (set the switching period to Event start there, see 3.13.3 Clock timer). The water change will then be started at the time set there.

Hi Matthias,

I was wondering if you could give us some information on if any dosing pumps will be added to the list of interfaces/parts that the Profilux II can control in a near future ? I would like to get a dosing pump to dose ESV B-Ionic two part or even use the Balling method at some point, instead of using a calcium reactor.

I'm currently looking at the GroTech TecIII NG dosing pumps, but would prefer to go with something that can be controlled by the Profilux II controller instead.

Any information you can share with us ?

Thanks !
Ginzo
