Octo (Reef Octopus) wave and return pumps control

[Griff500]

I have an audio splitter cable - 3.5mm that goes from a female connection into two audio plugs.

Inside there are four cables and they are very thin and appear to be red, blue, sort of yellow and green.

Does anyone have any idea about how those would fit into a RJ12 to provide control over two Reef Octopus pumps?

You can use the new S-Port & L-Port Breakout Box (S-L-Port-BoB)

Thanks Pit, I am aware of that. I still wouldn't know what wire goes where so what's the difference between attaching an RJ12 or using that box?

If you or someone else could help me with the question then that would be great.

The breakout box basically fills the incompatibility gap between the communication cable and the ProfiLux. If there is no dedicated GHL communication cable, users will still be able to control their 1-10V devices by connecting which ever communication cable to this breakout box. The other-end of this com cable is then connected to the port on the 1-10V device itself.

Thanks Vinny, I understand how the breakout box works. I still wouldn't know how to use this cable whether connecting it to the breakout box or an RJ12 as I have no idea which wires are which. If I knew that then I could use a breakout box or an RJ12.

The cable colors are not standardized, so we can't know which cable fits which pin.

I had a feeling that would be the case. So the only way is by seeing how the wire is connected to the aux pin and hoping it's the same at the other end...

For all who are also looking for a well documented solution. After some trails and errors finaly this works for me to connect my octo pulse to the profilux.

Für alle die noch nach der Lösung suchen, wie die Steckerbelegung für die Octo Pulse Strömungspumpen auf der Break Out Box funktioniert (für mich war die Doku hier sowie die bei der Box beigelegte nicht ausreichend) anbei das Bild.
