Octo (Reef Octopus) wave and return pumps control

[boshkg]

Purchased Octo Pulse 4 wave pumps which are Apex Ready with 0-10V port, is it possible to control them using Profilux 4?

The standalone controller only allows 30% to 100% power.

Any Reef Octopus users?

Thanks for the quick reply. So this 0-10V cable can be purchased through GHL and it plugs straight into the back of the Profilux 4 or do I need a module similar to the GHL Vortech module?

[PIWAWT]

A suitable cable is not available directly from GHL
There are several ways to connect the pump to the Profilux
1:
You buy a cable with RJ12 plug 6p6c and install the audio plug on one side.
2:
you buy a cable with the audio plug, and connect it with a 6p6c RJ12 plug.
3:
You buy a cable with the audio plug and connect it to a (LBF-AP) (PL-0067) if you can buy another one

Thank you.
So with both pumps connected to the Profilux, I can program them at any % power and to operate in sync or anti-sync (mirror) ?

[PIWAWT]

Yes, with all the features the Profilux offers. You may have to increase Umin at the 1-10V settings. You have to try ~2.4V.

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?

[PIWAWT]

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.
