What have I programmed wrong please?

I guess the channels are swapped. You can program the assignment of the channels to the LED groups. Just swap it again, see manual "program LED".
Important hint: Don't try to change the moon-color of -BW or -DB types, there color is not adjustable! If you do so this might cause a channel swap.

All fans are hard-wired, that means: if one is running the other should do so, too.
There are these possibilities for the malfunction:
- the contact of plug and socket (PCB inside the extrusion) is lost - maybe through transport
- PCB is defective
- motors are defective
reason for defective motor and/or PCB: saltwater!
Please read the manual carefully, contact with salty water must be avoided in any case!

If I buy the bluewhite, sunrise and blue LED sticks (55cm) should all of them be centered over the 1.2m aquarium? Will the lighting be spread equally if all of them are centered?

[Aqua-Digital]

You should only need one stick for the size of your tank centered.

the flashes will project themselves through the tank without any trouble, bearing in mind in nature a flash seen from above when under water will have varying degrees of intensity.

If you want a more controlled flash area you may also concider the spot option also

The LED is type Profilux-Simu-DB and I have tried to swap the channels with no luck, thinking back the swap happened when I updated to the latest version. What are the differences of the LED types because I am thinking of buying a second LED.

Hi

the differences are in the colour and effect each produce.

If you have a marine tank and you want to recreate moonrise and moon phase and nothing else then the Simu-DB is just perfect.

Then you have the opposite, the sunrise spot or stick will simulate sunrise and sunset.

Moving on from there you then have what I call the full effect spot and sticks, these will do sunrise/sunset and moonphase and also produce simulated lightening effects, which of course can be fully programmed with duration and intensity.

it all comes down to what effect you are trying to achieve in your own system.

Hope this helps

Hi Michael - Any idea how to change the channel back to blue? The LED lamp you mention is that the Profilux-Simu? Regards Paul

Hi

Sounds like you may have moonphase set up, I am assuming you have a simuDB i.e it ony has a blue colour.

Other than moonphase or the simulation being set to cloudy days you will need to look at your set up graph. As there as so many setting for the simu's it is hard to diagnose by guess work, but if you can send me a copy of your profilux data file I can tehn upload it to mine and see where you are going wrong.

This can be done in file menu, you cn then save you settings to your pc and email them to me at sales@aqua-digital.com

Please give me 72 hours to look at it for you.

Not all the LED lights from profilux are simu's only the ones that flash, if you have a quick glance at my site you will see the difference as to what they do.

Regards
Michael
