I am just awaiting wireless for use of the software, unless i buy another pc i cannot run the line to my existing one....a week or two at most im hoping.

I was playing with the top off and level sensors and found some other features that are interesting.
You can have multiple back up options for water level control.

Multiple water level sensors can be used, also in combination with optical and/or float valve sensors.

These sensors can be used as minimum and max on a single water level, or to maintain multiple levels for top up.

They can also be set to preform your water change automaticaly, by using min and max sensors.

Failsafes are numerous, cord removal/wear or breakage results as a "max reading" and turns off supply, aswell as using a switched outlet on the powerbar max on times can be set, if exceeded will alarm and turn off supply.

Waves or chaotic water influence are minimal, sensors wait for a stable reading before switching.

Pretty soon ill have this puppy doin my all chores .

Simply CRAZY!!! Performing water change!! Is there a way to do it? I would like to know more about the water change mecanism. How does it work? I have been trying to get more information about this controller up to now and its hard to find except from you. I will for sure be considering one of these or the Elos controller as soon as my tank arrived!

i2ik,

Water Changes are performed at preset times.
Water will be drained off using the switchable socket.
At this time a sensor detecting a minimum water level will be shutting it off .
Then another switchable socket is automatically kicked on until a second water sensor is reading a maximum water level.

There is also a maximum on time for these outlets preset for "water" on 1 and 2, therefore if a sensor fails this outlet will automatically turn off according to what you have preset.

Marc.
