No

series 2 are all 200amp YES two hundred amp high in rush protected that means that every single socket can withstand a split second high in rush current surge of up to 200amps protecting it from damage from ballasts that draw huge ampage on striking.

This does not detract from the fact that the total duration load (not striking load) must not exceed more than 15 amps in total on the whole bar, this is in line with your household ring main.

Does this eliminate the need for the Hi amp power boards?

Depends on what you ahve attached to the main power bar in terms of load.

if you are running a series of high wattage MH lighting or large chillers then you are probably getting close to the maximum ampage certified to run on one socket that the whole power bar is plugged into at the wall. This is where the HIGH AMP comes into play and spreads that load across another wall socket.

This is the part so many people forget, the certified load of your wall socket, we could build power bars that have 100 sockets all able to take 20 amp load, but that does not detract from the fact you are restricted by what one single wall socket on your home ring main can handle.

So simple answer, no you dont need the High amp providing you are not exceeding the total ampage of the power bar OR your wall socket.

OK so today was the day to get it all going.
2 small problems I have encountered.
Temp probe always reads 102F This probe is the Larger Black ones
Also the Redox Calibration required a Null plug. What is this and how can I get one.

Thanks

102F !!

Make sure you have it in the right port.

The Null plug is always supplied with the ProfiLux EX or Redox expansion always.

This was S/H right?

Yes It was second Hand. I will try and get it from the guy I purchased it from.
Could you tell me what it looks like?
Triple checked the port. It's the lower port on the board

Best to email me at sales@aqua-digital.com

it is always hard supporting second hand units and we could be going back and forth for a while on the board.
