Sorry so late....i2ik,

Unfortunatley i havent much to update, i am awaiting several pieces that would allow me to do just that, this will allow me to automate several other things i would like to see done with the controller, such as water changes, top up, heating and cooling, possibly some dimming with t-5`s in the near future.

I am upgrading to a third power bar, but await the card to insert to make it work.
Aswell my unit didnt come with wireless capability and also awaiting this part/s for this feature...i can then update that in regards to software user-freindlyness and capabilities.

I have been also enthusiastically awaiting the blutooth/lan pieces to set up alarm calling.
That was one thing at the top of the list in the purchase of the controller...so i cant wait for that.

So, needless to say as soon as i get my paws on this stuff, i will gladly update you all with pics and in good detail.

Thanks, Marc.

the wireless lan module, does it allow the controller to wirelessly connect to my computer for updates and what not?

support@proline · #37 12-19-2006, 06:25 AM

Yes colin, it will however you will need a wireless router present ,for it to connect to.
If you have a computer close to the tank I will go for the hard wire one ,It simply costs less (alomost half as much ) & does the same thing.

niloc16 · #38 12-19-2006, 07:06 AM

cool, i dont have one that close so wireless is the way i'm going to go i think.

I've got a few questions about this unit. Can it operate devices on the basis of multiple criteria? For instance, water level is down & pH is lower then preset amount... use kalk for topoff... water level is down & pH is higher then preset amount... use straight RO for topoff. For Lan connectivity, how does it appear on the net? Does it use its own IP address or piggyback off of the LAN IP? Does it connect to a router or a computer to get on the net? Are there plans for a calcium probe in the near future? Or a nitrate probe? Is it Tunze approved? In other words, are you affecting your Tunze warranty by using this unit to control your Tunze products? Does Tunze specifically state anywhere that it approves of this controller controlling their powerheads?

Good stuff colin ,it is great that we have the wireless option.
Hi Dave
Yes to the first question it is capable of doing that ,on the side not we also have optical level sensors for Profilux aswell
Second question ,we just got the LAN modules in yesterday ,I will give you more info on that soon.

As far as calcium probe ,GHL has been playing with the Idea ,the peoblem is only one thing ,unlike other manufactureres their number 1 concern is the quality of each piece of equipment,the price of CA probes that they were comfortable to use & passed the test of time ,quality & did not have to be refiled & recalibrated & was good for continious use was too high for the hobby ,so they are looking for other sources & they will not lower their standards to rebrand a cheap quality probe line like many other companies have done,the programing is already done & rather the easy part.
There are other features & modules in the work I will let you know as soon as we have more info.
As far as if it is approved by Tunze to use them with the pump ,I have to ask the manufacturer & I am not sure .
I know one thing for a fact most german users use Tunze with profilux & I frequent many german forums myself & not one person has reported any problems with this feature .
Keep in mind we are not dimmimg the pump from the 110v powersource ,there is a 12v connection from profilux that connects to the pump driver ,not the power plug ,so this feature does not even take a socket away from you.
