    Default solenoid valves experience ?

    I am planning to use solenoid valves whith Profilux 4 to perform, among others, automatic water changes which implies a sequence of ON/OFF instructions for several solenoid valves and also subject to level sensors status.
    I am thinking about how to achieve this. I guess there are solenoid valves which could be activated / desactivated via Powerbar. But also by controlling them through 0/10V?
    Can you please tell me if any of you use solenoid valves and how did you proceed?/ brand/model of solenoid valves you might be using? any experience here from anyone please?
    Many thanks,
    Fred

    Hi Fred,

    You can achieve this by powering a solenoid via a Powerbar socket. Since you will need 2 solenoid values, you will need 2 Powerbar sockets for this task. One socket will have the AWC drain task and the other the AWC fill task. If you have a way to power 1-10V solenoids, you can use the ProfiLux to send signals to open or close the valve.

    I have used a 12v solenoid on my auto top off for over ten years, just wire it into a 12v plug adapter and plug in to your plugbar
