Ghl Profilux Discussion And Support Thread

[Aqua-Digital]

Hi

I will ask Matthias what he thinks. Do you have series 1 or series 2 power bars?

All 15 amp sockets or 8 and 15 amp?

[Matthias Gross]

@niloc:
sound like the transmission to the last powerbar is disturbed.
What is the control cable length between ProfiLux and powerbar (over all, including all connections)?

@Todd:
maybe only a broken fuse - please contact me or Michael directly via email

I am not sure, I got a '6 way digital power bar' July of 07. How do I tell if it is a series 1 or 2?

I would first try and replace your male end with that of a thicker one (Yellow replacement cord end )
the prongs are a bit thicker and may fix the problem of a a worn outlet.

A 'worn' outlet seems plausible - The plug on my MH is already a big thick one and I would also like to use that outlet for other equipment. Is there a way that I could replace / fix that outlet besides using bigger plugs?

I don't think that it is a broken fuse because If I wiggle whatever is plugged into the outlet I can get it to work sometimes. Regardless, how do I check if the fuse needs replacing?

i'm not sure the exact length but i'm using the connection cables that came with the units so whatever the length of each cord times 3

Silly Question. How many Tunze power heads can I control with the profilux??

[Aqua-Digital]

total of 8

[Patrick1]

Ok I am planning on running a total 4 tunze 4055's. 2 on each side of the tank for that awsome wave action. I currently have the tunze line one & the tunze line 2 is there any thing else I will need ??
