Default Completed box

I just placed everything in a PVC box to keep it clean and neat.



So what you see here is the completed box.
The four connections that you see on the sides are:
1-110v power coming in.
2+3-110v power out-to AC/DC adapter
4-cable to profilux

The top of the box has the two plugs from the AC/DC adapters, and the three prong that attaches to the pumps. The harness is just inside the casing.

Default Hooked up

Hooked up and mounted to under side of tank. I chose to run the two adapters externally because of the heat generated by them.

Default Profilux programming

Here is a few screen shots, if your familiar with the profilux, this was actually the easiest set up.
Set up 1-5 volt signal in 1-10v interface


In current pumps, assign pump numbers and program.

Default Waveline pumps

Now that everyone is caught up, let's get started on the waveline.

With the controller open we can again identify the wires.





Again, two wires coming in off the AC/DC adapter, a positive and a negative.
Labeled as M+ and M- on the board.
Also three wires going to the pump,
Labeled 24+, 24-, and VA.

Default Three pin arrangement

We need to identify what the pin arrangement is in the plug to the pump.

Very interesting Bob, I have a question though...did you cut the wires away from the original controler or are they still attach?

On the wp40's, I just cut them away, as I'll never need them,and they're cheap.
I had ordered parts for the waveline harnesses about 10 days ago, so I expect things to arrive this week.
I actually was thinking of starting this next week, but after talking with Steve looks like we're starting it sooner.
I will have a separate harness, so on this project, no the controller will just be set aside.
