Purchased Octo Pulse 4 wave pumps which are Apex Ready with 0-10V port, is it possible to control them using Profilux 4?
The standalone controller only allows 30% to 100% power.
Any Reef Octopus users?

Thanks for the quick reply. So this 0-10V cable can be purchased through GHL and it plugs straight into the back of the Profilux 4 or do I need a module similar to the GHL Vortech module?
A suitable cable is not available directly from GHL
There are several ways to connect the pump to the Profilux
1:
You buy a cable with RJ12 plug 6p6c and install the audio plug on one side.
2:
you buy a cable with the audio plug, and connect it with a 6p6c RJ12 plug.
3:
You buy a cable with the audio plug and connect it to a (LBF-AP) (PL-0067) if you can buy another one

Thank you.
So with both pumps connected to the Profilux, I can program them at any % power and to operate in sync or anti-sync (mirror) ?
Yes, with all the features the Profilux offers. You may have to increase Umin at the 1-10V settings. You have to try ~2.4V.

I think this is all you need:
Now you need to find out, which of the 2 rings resp. the tip of the jack belongs to which cable.
Usually the yellow ring is GND and goes to the shield (bare).
Not sure about the other 2, but a DMM will show you if they belong to red or white.

What's a DMM?
When testing the wires with a multimeter I get nothing from the red wire and fluctuating readings from the white wire, so I'm guessing that I just connect the bare ground wire to terminal 3 and the white wire to terminal 2, but I've not done this before or actually used a multimeter before so I'm hoping to get some confirmation?
I guess DMM = Digital MultiMeter...
So the wire that provides a reading would be the wire that I connect to terminal 2.
I'll give it a go and see what happens.
That worked fine. I assumed the bare wire was the ground and then found the wire that gave a reading with the multimeter. That wire was put in terminal 2 and it works fine. Using a multimeter was the key to this and once I got hold of one it was easy to get this working.
Far simpler than I was thinking and the breakout box does make it far easier than fiddling around trying to get two wires into the slots on an RJ12.
