[joe_dejesus]

I have ghl optical level sensor connected to level1 port on profilux EXii,

how can i tell what state this sensor is in???

Hows does this sensor work is water suppose to cover optical sensor when water level is correct??

for the life of me I cannot make this work and run pump #4 in my ghl dosing pump set a WATER for RODI ATO in my small 28g reef tank.

In Level current state all I see are X's??? controller display shows Level 1X 2X 3X


running latest v4.08 firmware profilux IIex

I too should have my optical sensor here this week so I am going to be watching this thread. There is new software/firmware though I am using version 5.0.0.8 with plus II ex...

Hi

the state of all sensors is displayed on the device itself (X or - under menu diagnostics) or in ProfiLuxControl (checkmarks in the level section)

If the state changes (contact water / no contact) the symbol (X or -) or the checkmark must change.

If it is not changing there are 2 options: Sensor plugged in wrong port, or the worst case: sensor broken - in this case contact us or your retailer

I plugged sensor into profilux plusIIex (top left plug looking from back) level 1-2

can that level 3 plug be used?

do I need to possibly enable the port? why does it show X on display for all levels? even when no sensors are plugged in?

[Matthias]

level 3 can be used like 1 and 2

enabling not necessary, is always enabled

for security reasons: not plugged in is same state as contact to water (X) - is correct
