Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[Matthias Gross]

Hi All,

new firmware (beta!) & ProfiLuxControl is available.

- descriptions & comments can be assigned (e.g. to a socket or a 1-10V-interface)
- support for upgrade to Plus II eXtended
- Digital powerbars and dosing pump stations can be programmed with ProfiLuxControl
- new dialog for timer settings
- support for all new ProfiLux models

The firmware for ProfiLux is a beta-version at this moment. This means that there could be bugs (until now i couldn't find one).

ProfiLuxControl is a release version.

Here are the links:

Hi

I'm new to the Profilux as they have just made it down to Australia. I was just wondering if it is possible to connect ATI Powermodule T5 light fittings that already have dimmable ballasts to the Profilux and make full use of their dimming functionality via the Profilux ? If so, what other hardware do I require and what work is required to hook it all up ?

Thanks...

Hi

I will find out for you no problems, if it is compatible, then you would only need the external interface card, for 240V (Aussie voltage) there are three types.

1. this is just an interface card and requires you to have the lights on a timer as it does not switch the 1-10V completely off at 0V

2. A very handy interface that plugs into any shuko style socket that incorporates the 0V switching as well as the 1-10V interface

3. the EVG card that does it all and also can control two ballasts at one time, this is a PCB module that will require safe mounting.

Either myself or matthias directly will give you an answer if your lighting is compatible

Coming from the Uk I just have to add SHAME ABOUT THE RUGBY MATE - TWICE IN 4 YEARS!!!!!!

Hi Michael

Any info is greatly appreciated as my Profilux supplier is new to it himself. He is working hard to find out this type of info for me but when I came across this forum I was hoping you guys could help me a little faster.

Question about the dosing pump setup.

The instructions say:

"If more than one dosing pump is used Profilux tries to avoid to avoid that the pumps a activated in parallel"

If I dose sodium carbonate 10 times a day and calcium chloride 5 time a day, will the dosing times be spaced as far apart as possible, or could they happen one after the other, with no interval in between?

Hi,

ProfiLux avoids to dose at the same time but it can't be guaranteed that the intervals between all dosing activities are exactly the same.
But i don't think that this is a major issue.

Thanks for the response Matthias. I'll move the outlets as far apart as possible, just in case they come on too close together.

Hi guys

I'm still wondering which is the best way to connect a ATI Powermodule T5 light fittings that already have dimmable ballasts to the Profilux and make full use of their dimming functionality via the Profilux ?
Micheal already gave me the options but I don't know which is the best option in my case...

Thanks...
