HERE ARE SOME SCREENSHOTS OF THE PROFILUX INTERFACE
This first shot shows your opening screen, here you can enter your
global position which will become useful later if you choose to use
the moon phase to full effect. But more importantly look to the left
and you will see the menus where you can view and change parameters.
Here you have the pH screen. From here you can control all your pH
requirements whether you want to control a calcium reactor or manage
your aquariums parameters or both. As you can see it is controllable
to 0.01 point and you can also have nocturnal differences set.
The screen shot shows the ProfiLux in its raw form, but by adding
further expansions, other parameter controls become available to you
such as ORP (Redox) and Salinity measured in Specific gravity. You
can also expand to Oxygen and humidity also. Furthermore you are not
restricted to lets say one pH paremeter, by adding further expansion
you can have 2 pH controls totally independant, one for the tank and
one for your calcium reactor. Same goes for temperature control and
other paremeters. This is just a snap shot example of the
expandability
Just as with the pH you can control the temperature anyway you like,
you can have a fan or chiller and your heater plugged into the plug
bar and then from this screen set how you want the controller to
control your temperature to an accuracy you really won't find
anywhere else, so no more light heating spikes or over heating
thermostats, etc.
The next screen down shows the pump circulation control,
specifically Tunze pump control, in the latest software this mode
has been greatly expanded, the screen shot is of previous releases.
Now the profilux can control up to 4 Tunze pumps in groups and also
mix with waveboxes! This simple screen replaces the Tunze controller
and gives you far greater control of your pumps, being able to
program true tidal flow. You can also use this screen to program
other pumps to come on and off as you so please. The ProfiLux is
also designed to control all variable flow Tunze's including Nano's
and Waveboxes.
This is where the ProfiLux gets a bit more unique. the screen below
shows you how you can program various illumination cycles, above is
showing a cycle that we use for demo that is turning on and off on a
dimming cycle one of the effect lamps. So here you would program
your main light, when it would come on and if you had dimmable
lighting you can also program how long you want the light to take to
come to full power or select the intensity you so choose on a 0% to
100% scale.
This is probably the most asked about area, how do you tell the
ProfiLux what to turn on and how do you control your pumps heaters
etc? Well looking at above this is where you program the power bars
to what you want each socket to do. So as you can see in the screen
shot I have socket number 1 programmed to control pH upwards so here
I would have maybe my kalk stirrer plugged into socket 1. Each
socket can be programmed to anything the ProfiLux will allow you to
do. when a socket is in the ON mode, a red dot appears to the left
of the socket function as shown in socket 1
