how to work Profilux Vortech Controller?

[johnfallon135]

i plug one rj45 cable to the profilux from the vortech controller and the other rj45 cable to the pab power bar from the vortech controller as well? my vortech isn't wireless that doesn't matter right?

Hi,

The PAB powerbar should be connected directly to the Profilux. You can then connect the Vortech controller either directly to the other PAB port on the Profilux or an available port on the PAB powerbar.

thanks vinny, how do i connect my vortech powerhead to the controller though? can't just plug the powerhead into the pab powerbar right? do i have to detach my powerhead from its original controller and somehow connect/wire it to the profilux?

Hi,

You do not have to have the pump connected to the Powerbar.

The GHL vortech controller will wirelessly communicate with the Vortech controller.

Here's the instruction manual for the controller:

is 1 pab port good enough for 2 powerheads or is each port on the controller for each powerhead? i noticed there's 2 ports thanks

One is enough. Two cables will not work due you cause a not allowed loop with that. Obviously it´s a good idea to read the PAB System descripton:
