EVG-AP2F connection

[Tunzer]

Hi Matthias,

I have some doubts on EVG-AP2 connection, please help;

x105
1)Pin 1 (+12v) input or output?
2)Pin 2 & 4, 1-10v from PII L1?
3)Pin 5 & 6, 1-10v from PII L2?

x104
1)Pin 1 & 2 to dimmable LED driver 1
2)Pin 3 & 4 to dimmable LED driver 2

Thanks.

Normally you can use the delivered cable from L1L2 or L3L4 at profilux to the EVG

Connection is as follows (taken from manual http://www.aquariumcomputer.com/Download/Manual_EVG-AP2_V400.pdf)

x105
Pin 1 (+12v) - power source - normally not needed
Pin 2 Dimimg intensitiy channel 1 - against Pin 3/GND
Pin 3 Signal ground for diming channels and relay power
Pin 4 Switching signal for channel 1 5...10V - against Pin 3/GND
Pin 5 Dimimg intensitiy channel 2 - against Pin 3/GND
Pin 6 Switching signal for channel 2 5...10V - against Pin 3/GND

Is the +12v always on? And what is the Amp like?

I think of using it to run 2x 12v fans if it can be controlled by PII !

Thanks.

Manual say so.


And what is the Amp like?

Very low, I think. As I see it, it´s only for control purposes and - maybe - moonlight/sundown LEDs

You musn´t do so! It may destroy that output - or more! Use PropellerControl -(that´s what it is made for)


if it can be controlled by PII !

Always on means: No control.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Matthias,

Since Tunzer has brought out the current (Amp) of the 12v from the ProfiLux.

I think it's good to know what is the actual current(amp) provided, although many users know that It may be low current.

Hope you can advice.

Thanks.

we mentioned this in our forum many times already
the load of the 1-10V interfaces can only be a few mA (below 30mA)!
no power - only control signal!

Hi Matthias,

Yes I do know that the 1-10V is below 30mA, but how about the +12V pin?

Do you mean that all 6 pins are having the same amp of below 30mA per pin output?

Thanks.
