Hi Michael,

we booked the hotels for our Macna-trip, i'll send you a mail with further infos...i think one beer is the minimum

And for all: There are some new developments coming - firmware & products! I am sure Macna will be very interesting!

Hey Micheal,

I'd love a copy. I just have it plugged into my digital power bar and only one out of the three fans is currently running. Any idea why the other two might have stopped?

Cheers,
Gord.

I will dig a copy out for you no worries

Are you using it via a breeze speed controller or stand alone?

i cant believe how big this thread is. anyway i finally attempted a firmware update today. was very easy to do. there was a misunderstanding on my part because after the firmware update, all settings are lost. the program reminded of it before it started so i quickly wrote all the info down but after the fact i realized the info i re-entered afterwards was scrambled because my software was not updated. but other then that it was very easy. i can finally setup my digital bars now and clean up my bloody wiring. hopefully next days off the wife will go out with the kids and give me time to do it. the controller has been working awesome for me though. i love it. currently it not controlling anything but when i add my digital bars i will have it control ph, temp, eventually sump water level. its runs all my lighting. the past while the unit has been getting thrashed regarding the WLAN, and i have personally not had luck with getting it to work either but that is only one small part of the entire package. the additions keep getting better and better. i personally seen one of the new dosers at hidden reef and it lasted a whole 3 hours and it was sold. it was awesome. now if only the controller could make my corals grow faster..................

OK, so far my experience has been good, I think the controller has a lot of potential, but I am just getting started setting it up. I have the following questions:

1. According to the manual, there is a "fitment" available for attaching the controller to the wall..."Using our optionally available fitment the unit can also be attached to the wall." Can anyone tell me where to get one of these?

2. I continue to have problems displaying a graph of readings. I have updated both the software and the firmware to 3.03. I don't seem to be able to see any readings on the chart.

3. I have heard about the Redox / Salinity Conductivity Expansion module and would like to get more information how it works and what it does. Do you have a brochure at all with more detailed information?

I am going to go through the manual again and I'm sure I will have more questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Gord.

The length is about 60cm, diameter is 20mm. They have only a small wattage (2.5W) because they are only designed for effect-lighting and not for replacement of the MH or fluorescents.
One bar is usually ok to illuminate a tank of about 1.5m, for longer tanks i recommend to use more of them.
I don't want to tell some pseudo-scientific arguments for this light (as maybe some other manufacturers do for their products). I am not sure if there are confirmable benefits for the fishes or corals, but it just looks really good. Maybe someone will now complain that thunderstroms my drive the fishes crazy - but in nature they have them also.

Dimmable sockets
They can be used to supply dimmable devices (eg some pumps, heater, conventional lamps) with a variable voltage. Coming soon.

Giesemann
I don't know this lamp but they usually don't equip non dimmable lamps with dimmable ballasts. That means: The ballast must be replaced in the case you want dimm the fluorescents.

Matthias a question please this is driving me & the fish mad. I have the LED spot-light attached to the Profilux, when all was first started all was OK, blue led dimming according to the moon phase but now for the last few weeks it is now a the red leds' that are dimming according to the moon phase. What have I programmed wrong please?

If you can send your data files across to either myself or Matthias we can load them up and see what you have set up that is causing this for you

monitors_direct · #**538** 07-16-2007, 12:28 PM

Hi Gordon.

Hope this helps.

I as yet have not come across the wall bracket but can easily find out for you

The data charts are addressed I believe in the next firmware version, matthias should be able to answer this better. just drop him a pm

The combined salinity/redox card is a dual use expansion card. It gives you control and monitoring of salinity readings of your tank and also redox potential or otherwise known as ORP. The beauty of this card is that it only utilises one slot instead of two if your pruchased the two cards seperatly. it is also cheaper doing this way. You will need to purchase the probes as an addition. You do not need to run both though, the card comes with a blanking plug so you can run only one of its functions if required.

If you ant one let me know

Too less information for me. Question:
-> Can you load measurement data out of ProfiLux into a file? Is there any data?

-> there is no special brochure about them because there is not much to say: They measure ORP and conductivity and can control switchable socket outlets. All parameters are freely adjustable. More can be read in the ProfiLux manual under "Redox" and "Conductivity".
