    Default What I will need to connect 6 Tunze pumps to Prof3ex?

    I am thinking to replace the Tunze controller by connecting my 6 tunze pumps to prof3ex.
    So, I will need 3 GHL ProfiLuxTunze1 wires, 3 GHL ProfiLuxTunze2 wires, 3 splitters and 6 Lines free. Is that correct?

    I was also wondering what will happen if I program the pumps under the illumination menu to set them as a light, lets say: 0% at 07:00, 100% at 12:00, 100% at 19:00 & 0% at 22:00 (with min3V and max 8V).
    Will that work?

    all correct

    if you set the 1-10V-output in question as a "light" the pump will follow the % of the illumination curve over the day

    That's good news!

    So if pump is under L1 as a "light", is there a way to speed up the pump in thunderstorm?

    no, this is only possible if it is a "pump"

    Just connected 2 of the 6 pumps, will connect the others as I like the way I can programm them.

    I order 1 ProfiLuxTunze1 wire , 1 ProfiLuxTunze2 & 1 GHL YL2-1 (1m) (PL-0096).

    The splitter in the YL had white color and as I was trying to find out why only ProfiLuxTunze2 wire was working I found out that from the splitter only L2 was coming out.
    Is this a mulfunction of the splitter or this is the way PL-0096 works?

    I am asking because when I orderd GHL YL2-2,5 (2,5 m) (PL-0097) the splitter had black color & both Ls comes out of the splitter.

    At the end of each splitter cable there has to be L1L2 at one side, L1L2 at the other side (if connected to L1L2).
    ProfiLux Tunze1-cable will react to L1, ProfiLux Tunze2-cable to L2. For all lenghts of this splitter cable it is the same.
    Please try again.

    You have set "no waves" under "Current group 1"/ Waves. If you set it to sinus waves, then the pumps will do the sequence mode,
    otherwise they remain in one state. All other settings seems to be right. I have taken over your pump settings to a ProfiLux and started it.
    As soon as I set the sinus waves, everything is ok. Also when I press the feeding pause-button, the pumps are set to 0% as it should.
