Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a measurement and control unit for a marine system at my University. The Profilux series looks like it may do what we need it to do, but I have some queries I'd appreciate answers to:

1) What is the splash/waterproofing specification of the Profilux II (III?) boxes?
The system would need to be based in a humid room with occasional saltwater aerosol. In addition, are the powerbars (UK spec) splashproof?
Alternatively, will the new outdoor system be upgradeable to the profilux III EX equivalent?

2) Which system would be able to deal with the following:
measurement of water temperature, pH and conductivity (i.e. salinity)
auto top-off and water level measurement
LAN/SMS alarm messaging
Redox measurement
Heating and Cooling (TECO TR30 unit) control
Dosing with 2 or more peristaltic pumps

Many thanks in advance
Stuart

ProfiLux and powerbars are not splashproof and a high concentration of saltwater aerosols will damage the printed circuit boards and connectors after a while.

no, the hardware is completely different

a) ProfiLux Plus II eX + LAN-card + SMS-unit + powerbar
b) ProfiLux 3 eX + SMS-unit + powerbar
c) ProfiLux II Outdoor + LAN-card + SMS-unit

Thanks for the very rapid reply!

Are there details on release dates for the outdoor unit yet, and are most UK suppliers likely to be able to get hold of this unit?

Thanks
