Default Y-Adapter

The standard Y-Adapter doubles the input L1/L2 to two outputs of each L1/L2. So the channels will behave as parallel wired.

The cross over adapter has one input L1/L2, one output L1/L2 and one L2/L1. If it is not available you can rewiring yourself if you can solder and do not have two left hands.

There are some pictures of it in a german forum but I am not shure if you can understand it, but at least you will see the picture.

Big Blue,

I checked out the site, sadly bablefish's translation was a bit poor. I could understand some of it, but then some just didnt make any sense to me at all. So the YL2-2,5 adapter is which Y adapter? This was talked about in the post but thats where some of the poor translation came into play. I am curious if this is the crossover adapter or if this is just the one that replicates the port giving you two of the same.

I'll try to clarify it:
we have the splitters YL2-1 and YL2-2.5, one is 1m long, the other is 2.5m
They have the same function: Just double the ports, no crossover
The splitters are suitable for lighting and pump control
If you want to connect two controllable pumps on one port (eg L1L2) you need: 1 splitter, 1 cable ProfiLux<->Tunze1 (the pump connected over this cable will react on L1) and 1 cable Profilux<->Tunze2 (reacts on L2)

That explains it perfectly. Thank you. Do you guys sell a Y crossover adapter or is this something that we would have to buy locally at one of our electronic stores? This would be for stuff other than the Tunze's such as two LED lights, or a light and the fans, etc.
