Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[support@proline]

Well
I just got off the phone with Matthias,We have a solution everyone will be extremly happy with.
For all the existing Profilux owners we will exchange one of their bars to the new 6 socket powerbars you will get a full credit for the powerbar you are returning ,The only cost to you will be the price difference of the the 6D & 4D powerbars .
What this will do for you
1- you will have the digital bar that enables you to chain more bars to it
2- ICL in the bar will fix the current issue with the use of MH on curent bars
3- More features
All the new units sold will come with a 4d & a 6d bar instead of 2x 4d bars
Once again thanks to matthias for great service .
Please visit the store you purchased your unit from for details.
I will make a post here as soon as the new shipment lands ,I was told it be in 3 weeks (Hi Matthias )
Also more to come soon ,Leak detector ,Disolved oxygen card ,
Disolved oxygen & Ph combo card ,disolved oxygen Probe
Of course we are working on the Dimmable ballast as we speak ,this will be offered in DIY kits & fixtures very soon.

You are still up colin
hay leave the tank alone ,I know you are fiddling with something in there right now .
That's what happens when you set up a new tank ,hand in water all the time syndrome ,at least for me for the first 6 months of each tank until I can't think of changing anything or a new piece of equipment comes out that I can use.
Good night bud

I received my Profilux Plus II controller last night. Here some pictures:

Here's the calibration solutions.

I received two of the 4 socket power bars, but I'm returning them so I can get two of the 6 socket digital power bars instead. Sorry, no pictures of the power bars. Don't want to break the seals on the packaging.

Is there an optical float switch available?

If I'm connecting two Tunze Stream pumps to the Profilux, do I connect one to L1 L2 and the other to L3 L4? OR do I need to purchase a Y adapter and connect both to L1 L2?

I have to agree with Colin this is great support and will upgrade to a 6D when they are available. Until that point I was going to modify my Dimming Curve to get around the relay sticking. Can anyone see a problem with this setup?

Before: 2 points
1 - 10:30am, 5 minutes, 100%
2 – 6:25pm, 5 minutes, 0%

After: 4 points
1 – 10:30am, 5 minutes, 100%
2 – 6:25pm, 5 minutes, 0%
3 – 6:31pm, 5 minutes, 1%
4 – 6:32pm, 5 minutes, 0%

This causes the socket relay to be quickly turned on and off 1 minute after the light shuts down. This falls within the 5 minute lamp cool-down period for the IceCap ballasts so if the light does go out at 6:30 the power flash at 6:32 doesn’t turn the light back on.

Thanks again

@jrm99:
your dimming curve setting - for what is it good for? Now you have 2 times switching on the lamp - that means 2x stress for the relay. I would recommend to alter it again to the first settings.
Quick solution for the moment until the digital powerbar is vailable: An easy way to reduce the inrush-current is to raise up the electric resistance - eg insert a long extension cord between powerbar and lamp. Should be no problem since the average current (after inrush) is not very high.

@MNSPS + Psyire:
You can connect two tunze cables to one port when you use a Y-adapter. If both pumps should be controlled separately the cables must be different: Tunz1 and Tunze2
Or you connect one cable to one port (L1L2) and the other cable to the other port(L3L4) - then both pumps are contollable separately anyway - doesn't matter if tunze1 or 2. But then both ports are occupied for just 2 pumps.
Any 1-10V-port has 2 channels
Tunze1 means: react on first of both channels of one port (L1 or L3)
Tunze2 means: react on secondof both channels of one port (L2 or L4)

Yes. There is a picture in my thread here: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...383#post230383

I'm wondering this same thing?

Psyire,

Are you using the optical float switch for automatic top off? If yes, what type of pump are you using with it?
