Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[Reefer Rob]

I'm dosing sodium carbonate which tends to be hard on plastic an rubber parts. What's the life expectancy on the tubes in the dosing pumps? Are they available separately or do I have to replace the whole peristaltic pumps?

Thanks
Rob

The tubes are of medical grade, as with everything GHL it is of the highest of quality, so you would get better life expectancy than most for sure.

As they are very long life, the unit is modular meaning you would replace single doser at fault

Here it is:

The newest firmware 3.06 (beta) can be downloaded here:
http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...LuxII_V306.zip

ProfiLuxControl II 3.0.6.0 here:
http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...olII_V3060.exe

Warning: These are beta-versions at the moment, it is not impossible that there may be bugs in the software.

Before updating you should save your settings and sensordata, these files can be downloaded to ProfiLux after the update!

What's new?

1. support for the new cards PLM-4L (4x 1-10V-interfaces) and PLM-pH-Redox (combo for pH and redox measurement)

2. Complete new programmed current control! Up to 4 pumps can be controlled (or more if you control some pumps simultaneously). New modes: surge, sequence, random in several variants.
Increase of pump power while thunderstorm; 2 pump groups can be operated independently; all pumps can be programmed individually; monitoring of the pump power in ProfiLuxControl,........
->just download and test it!

3. Some other small improvements

Have fun while testing the new features!

Your feedback is appreciated!

Gday guys (and Ladies)

Im glad I found this forum Ive been trying to findout if the Profilux II Plus can actually control more then 8 T5 tubes and if so how (HELP) I havent bought one yet Im planning my new tanks lighting and in the end it will have about 16 t5s (NO MH's) and 3 skylights.

I have a feeling If I link more then one controller together I will be ok but nothing I can find actually proves this.

Thanks

It can control more than 8 x t5s, The lighting software profilux control allows this.
I just about 10 lights so far on mine,

You can control up to 8 dimmable lights independently. Of course more than 8 lights can be controlled (dimmed) but then some of them have to be controlled simultanously (groups of lights).
For your example: Use 8x double-output ballasts -> then you can control 8x2 tubes.

Thanks guys that is exactly what I was after. I was told that the double dimmable ballast is counted as 2.

Hi there,

One of the High-Inrush outlets on the digital powerbar quit on me. Is there any way to try and troubleshoot/fix this myself? It was controlling a single 250 watt magnetic ballast.

The indicator light comes on and I can hear the switch "click" but there is no power to the outlet itself.

[Matthias Gross]

There are fuses in the powerbars with inrush current protection.
Maybe this fuse is blown - replace it with exactly this type.
For a test you can simply use a fuse from another socket. Please refer to the powerbar manual.

Thanks for the reply Matthias,

Turns out it is the fuse. Any idea where I can get replacements?
