    Default What accessoires do i need with profilux plus II?

    I am thinking of buying a profilux plus II computer. But before ordering anything i want to know exactly what accessoires (partnumbers) i need.

    i want to automate the following, what accessoires do i need to make this work?

    1. dosing pump control (4 pumps)
    2. USB/LAN connection
    3. PH control
    4. auto water change + leakage detection
    5. illumination control 2xT5 in future 4xT5
    6. temp monitoring (not controlling temp, just monitoring).

    - First off will i have enough plugs with a 4 plug powerbar or do i need more?
    - What is needed to upgrade to USB/LAN, what card & cables are needed?
    - Besides a co2 magnet valve and ph probe do i need anything else to control Co2?
    - With the profilux plus II come 2 options to meassure water level, i need a third option for leakage detection what extension do i need?
    - What cables will i need?

    What else could i possibly need? Thanks.

    dosing unit 4fold
    expansion card PLM-USB or PLM-LAN or you choose ProfiLux3 instead which has built-in LAN and USB
    pH control - input is present, you need a probe + calibration fluid
    water change + leak - you need level sensors + a powerbar for switching devices like solenoids, pumps, etc.
    illum. control - depends on dimmable or standard - what lamps? our lamps are ProfiLux-ready (with interface)
    the eX models have 3 level inputs (the other versions only 2)
    cables - most cables are included, maybe you need special cables for conenction the lamp - depends on the lamp

    please see our comparison chart of the ProfiLux models

    Thanks. In response to your answers i have a few more questions.

    dosing unit 4fold
    this will need only one out of the four plugs right? Regardless of the unit -integrated computer or not?

    expansion card PLM-USB or PLM-LAN or you choose ProfiLux3 instead which has built-in LAN and USB
    What difference in functionality is there between LAN/USB?

    pH control - input is present, you need a probe + calibration fluid
    I have a Dennerle CO2 solenoid valve Comfort is it compatible with profilux?

    water change + leak - you need level sensors + a powerbar for switching devices like solenoids, pumps, etc.
    how many plugs of the powerbar do 2 water sensors take up?


    llum. control - depends on dimmable or standard - what lamps? our lamps are ProfiLux-ready (with interface)
    I am going to use it on A Giesemann Linea II aquarium with dimmable lights of Giesemann, i assume this is compatible?

    Am i right that none of the probes PH, Redox etc require a powerplug since they are non switchable devices?

    Lastly, what is the expected lifetime of a redox probe and that of a conductivity probe; is it the same as that of a pH probe?

    thanks, Ray

    The dosing unit is connected to the ProfiLux directly through the control cable at a S-socket. The power cable can be plugged into a normal
    wall socket. You need a dosing unit without integrated controller, so without "SA".

    If the valve shall only be switched on/off under certain conditions, then you can use it in a socket on the powerbar.

    For water change and leakage detection you will need 3 sensors and two sockets on the powerbar.

    You will probably need an adapter to connect the Giesemann lights to the ProfiLux, e.g. LBF-AP (two channels, without internal shut-off) or LF-ABOX (one channel, with internal shut-off).

    They are only connected to the ProfiLux and don't need a powerplug.
