is there a setting on the profilux to check if the rs232 socket is working?
Wondering if I've missed something whilst setting up. this is how i set things up
1) connect psu to split connector
2) connect lightbar to split connector to the nearest socket to communication socket (not that i see this makes a difference but I've done it as shown on GHL site)
3) connect rs232 connector to profilux, then female end to split connector
4) set profilux program to mitras, this is showing under system as com 1 mitras, com 2 standard.
5) switch power on to lightbar
6) load a template and tick lightbar deep actinic 150
what am i missing!? so frustrating as I've got rid of my old light and this ones at 100% and i have a feeling my corals are going to start bleaching now, its too bright all day long.
its either on or off. aagghhh!!
thanks Jon
check again the settings on Profilux directly. Otherwise remains only to back up the data, and reset the Profilux to factory settings.
Do you use the normal splitter, or the Active Splitter?

hi Pit, i tried a factory reset earlier. regarding that, when reset should everything be deleted such as what socket functions i had set? as once done these were still the same.
what settings are there directly on profilux? the only one i can see is under illuminations, mitras bar, cross ticked then saved.
thanks, Jon
these were the items purchased. its an LB splitter, should i have purchased an active splitter too?

this is what i looked at when buying the equipment.
doesn't mention the active splitter
Hi Vinny, I examined the lead, all pins still fine.
As the lead is low cost and nothings working anyway I've taken the rs232 apart to examine it, only 2 screws opens it up.
the cable used is 3 core and only 2 cores are soldered to rs232 socket. I don't suppose you would know if this is correct?
