Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[Ginzo]

Just received my Profilux II Controller

Just one question, I'm not quite ready to play with it yet, so it's going to sit in the closet for a couple of weeks. Should I put the pH reference kit (the 2 bottles) in the fridge (in a cool area), or can I put in the closet no problem, at room temperature ?

Thanks,
Ginzo

Room Temprature is fine

Thanks !

Oh, and another noob question: how do I set the controller in English ?

I haven't played much with it yet....

Thanks

@honkey sauce:
"all switchable sockets dont work.sorry but its true"
I am sorry - i can't believe that. We have several thousands of non-digital powerbars in operation, there are no problems. The only known issue is the problem with very high inrush currents with MH or other ballasts, this problem is solved with the new digital powerbars, they include inrush current limiters.
Could you please explain detailled what you mean with "all switchable sockets dont work"? For what purposes do you want to use them (heater, pumps, ...)? Where did you connect the bar? Did you program the functions and powerbar properly? And so on...

@Ginzo:
On the ProfiLux:
Under EXTRAS->Sprache (=Language). ->initial language is German, so you will see "Sprache" and not "Language".
In the PC-software: Page "General"

matthias,

since these units are being sold in north america, can you guys set them up to already be setup as default in english. i cannot count how many times i have had to walk people through how to change the language to english. just a suggestion.

i'm very excited to get a hold of the digital powerbars. i'm waiting to get them so that i can install the new ones and update the unit's firmware at the same time while everything is disconnected. all and all the controller is awesome. once i learned the menus it is extremely easy to use and very reliable.

Hi niloc

nothing heard from you for a longer time! Thank you for the suggestion - you are right, i'll do this for the next shipment!
"once i learned the menus it is extremely easy to use and very reliable." - absolutely my opinion...

I hope you will obtain your dig. powerbar soon, i can't wait much longer for your experiences with the MH...
Another customer told me he connected his MH to the dig. powerbar - and it works without any problems!

Click the button under the alarm light, up arrow gives you Sprache, select English and enter.

The new power bars work great so far!

*edit* Oops, didn't see there was a page 28.

So far all I can see different with the digital power bars is you can daisy chain the control wires, and they retain a memory if they are disconnected. For example if you set the initial state for your return pump socket as "on", if it looses communication with the controller it will revert to "on", and your return will continue to run.

the new digital powerbars is what ive been waiting for
