Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[Todd]

I will look over my wiring again tommorow, if I cannot find a problem with it I will post a photo, perhaps you can see what I am missing. I do have a feeling that there is a problem with one of my bulbs though, maybe I will try with a different one tommorow before I pull it apart to check the wiring.

Anyone else having problems with their non-digital power bar? The socket that my heaters were plugged into stuck on, and needed a tap to get the contacts to open.

I've now been informed via J&L (where I bought it) that Proline won't warranty it One of the reasons I went with Profilux was that even though the product was still in the development stage for the North American market the manufacturer seemed to backing it well.

Speak to matthias, how long have you had the plug bar? The new ones are more robust.

Without getting involved in inter dealer policies, as far as I know we warranty all power bars as long as they are used in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines

Reefer Bob,

i think this is one of the first powerbars and may have the problem with the high currents at 120V. In this case contact Proline directly, i am sure they will help you. We will replace powerbars of the first generation which are making trouble.
Or is this a powerbar with the "inrush current limiters"? If yes - try to switch your heater with one of the protected sockets.

As far as warranty ,all our dealers service their clients @ the store on the spot ,the faulty items are sent to us & they receive a credit ,unlike many other wholesalers they do not need to apply for an RMA# before giving you an answer.So the decision is theirs & we will support them to do so.
I believe they simply were not aware of the old bar situation .
appreciate it if you can email us a copy of your invoice & return the faulty bar back to the shop for a replacement

Hmmm.... J&L is saying this was Jason's call.

The latest version of the digital power bar works fantastic, and what I've been trying to do since my bar stuck on is get my regular bar upgraded to the same standard.

I'm sure you can understand that my system is completely controlled by the Profilux, so sending in one of my power bars and waiting for a replacement would be difficult.

Since adding the Profilux dosing pump (works great by the way) I have freed up enough sockets so each heater is now plugged into it's own socket, so the problem has not yet repeated itself.

Hi All,

new firmware (beta!) & ProfiLuxControl is available.

- descriptions & comments can be assigned (e.g. to a socket or a 1-10V-interface)
- support for upgrade to Plus II eXtended
- Digital powerbars and dosing pump stations can be programmed with ProfiLuxControl
- new dialog for timer settings
- support for all new ProfiLux models

The firmware for ProfiLux is a beta-version at this moment. This means that there could be bugs (until now i couldn't find one).

ProfiLuxControl is a release version.

Here are the links:

Hi

I'm new to the Profilux as they have just made it down to Australia. I was just wondering if it is possible to connect ATI Powermodule T5 light fittings that already have dimmable ballasts to the Profilux and make full use of their dimming functionality via the Profilux ? If so, what other hardware do I require and what work is required to hook it all up ?

Thanks...

Siiri

Replaced the end caps that I was using. Everything seems to be working allright now. It seems that I had a bad jumper cable or something like that.

Now that my lights are working I can get some of the other features figured out!
