ProfiLux-Eheim-Controller

[Matthias]

At Interzoo we showed our new ProfiLux-Eheim-Controller for the Eheim Professional 3 e external filter.

This is a small device which connects a ProfiLux with an external filter, with this device ProfiLux is able to control the Eheim Professional 3 e.

Overview:
- flow rate controllable through a current pump program of the ProfiLux
- this enable us to produce "ebb/tide" or "waves", of course limited through the capabilities of the pump - an external filter is not a wave maker ...
- feeding pause
- measuring and analyzing of the current filter state -> if wanted output of alarms is possible
- connection to RS232-interface of the ProfiLux, due RS232 is looped through it is possible to connect ProfiLux View, PC or SMS-module at the same time on the RS232 port
- concurrent connection of the Eheim-interface is possible

Prototypes are running already, the controller will be available for retail in approx. 2 months.

This is how they look like:

Nice work guys. This will do alot to help spread controllers into the freshwater world too rather than them just being seen as something for the high end marine market.

Very nice indeed! Delivery will indeed start mid July? I can't wait...

[akatar]

The Eheim Controller is not on the market yet, we have no concrete delivering start date at the moment, i am sorry...

Any reason for this, is there some design/feature changes?

Thanks

I have 1 x Eheim 2076 and 1 x Eheim 2078.
I need 2 Profilux-Eheim Controller...
How to connect to the Profilux computer ?

[GHL Support]

Eheim filters professional 3e models (2074 electronic, 2076 electronic, 2078 electronic) are supported by the EHEIM-Controller.

There is only one Eheim filter possible at the ProfiLux computer at the moment (one filter at the EHEIM-Controller and one EHEIM-Controller at the ProfiLux).
I don't know, if this will change in future.

I hope the management of multi-filter will be supported in the future....

Some threads ago anyone suggests a PAB version of the Eheim controller, maybe GHL could act on that.
I think, daisy-chaining of the serial port is at it´s end now .... (PC, View II, Eheim controller, SMS unit ....)
