Hi Doug,

that was a great vacation and i realized i really needed it - now i am fresh as usual again.
The next shipment, including dig. powerbars, is on 28. Feb.
I am sorry that it was not earlier possible, but obtaining some parts which are needed for production is really difficult. Some producers (eg. powersupplies, microcontrollers, housings) have delivery times of up to 26 weeks.

Hi All!

Good news: Today is shipping!

And for all who are waiting for the digital powerbars - here is the link to the manual:

Don't hesitate to ask me if there are any questions.

Default Questions

That's great news !

Since I ordered yesterday my Profilux II Plus controller !

Just a couple of questions:

1) Can I plug the power bars onto a normal power bar (since I want to place the power bars and controller on my canopy), so I need an extension.

2) Can somebody explain to me what the difference is with the digital power bars and the normal power bars ?

3) Can I have more then 1 float/level sensor on my controller ? I would like to have 2 or 3 level sensors, just for safety.

That's it for now

Ginzo

Jason

I am thinking about getting a Profilux controler. Have you asked Icecap if a 8A current limiter in the circuit would in any way adversely affect their ballasts. I have the same MH lighting setup as niloc16, just want to make extra sure I wouldn't cook my ballasts.
(PS: Any idea when the Aquaconnect bulbs will be in?)

@Ginzo
1.) yes - but: you wrote "since I want to place the power bars and controller on my canopy" - isn't that dangerous? Please make sure that no electric equipment can fall into the water!
2.) difference powerbars - here the short from: digital powerbar has a microprocessor, is bus-capable, is suitable for ballasts- i explained this in detail in our manuals ProfiLux & digital powerbar . You can download it here:
http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari.../download.html
3.) yes, you can have 2 on your controller

@Reefer Bob:
The inrush current limiter won't adversely affect any ballast. I am sure niloc16 will obtain his digital powerbar in some days (i think the plane with the shipment for Proline already arrived in Vancouver) - then he will tell us his experiences with the digital powerbar.

awesome. thanks for the update jason. just to double check, the controller needs the firmware update to use the digital powerbars, correct?
