Installation
2.1
Positioning the expansion box
Position the device at a water-protected place.
In principle each mounting position is allowed, but you should pay attention to the accessibility of the
connections.
Consider also the maximum cable lengths of the PAB connection cables, sensors, light bars and powerbars
when you select the position.
2.2
Connection of the expansion box
The temperature sensor is connected to Temp (2).
Level sensors for the determination of the water level are connected with the level connections (3). If two
level sensors shall be connected, a Y-cable (
PL-LY
) is necessary.
The sensors for pH, conductivity and redox are – as far as they are present – connected accordingly to (9),
(10) and (11).
Please pay attention to the hints for sensors in the ProfiLux manual and of the sensor manufacturer.
Hint
In case of the conductivity sensor the sensor type (salt or fresh water) must be
selected with the selection switch (6), in order that the conductivity is measured
correctly.
The control cables of dimmable lamps (light bars, hanging lamps, moonlight etc.) or controllable current
pumps are plugged into the Western sockets L1L2 (4) or L3L4 (5).
Plug the DC-plug of the wall power supply into the socket labeled 12VDC (1). Do not use in any case
another power supply, since a false polarity or voltage can destroy the device!
2.3
Connection of the PAB
Devices with
ProfiLux Aquatic Bus
– in short PAB – are connected to the corresponding RJ45 sockets.
Several PAB devices are so to say daisy-chained. This means that the first PAB device is connected via a
PAB connection cable with one of the PAB ports of the
ProfiLux 3
. The next PAB device is either connected
to the free PAB port at the
ProfiLux 3
or at the free PAB port of the preceding PAB device. A further PAB
device is then connected to free PAB port of the preceding PAB device and so on. Also several ProfiLux
computers can be connected to this bus. The last PAB devices therefore have always one free PAB port.
Trough this, the PAB-bus represents a line connection via the single participants from one end to the
other.
