TO DO:
Setup skimmer control
With the ProfiLux 4, you can control your skimmer in various ways. For example, you can set
the skimmer to turn OFF if the sump water level gets too high, skimmer cup gets full, or OFF
during a feed pause and/or maintenance mode. You can also set the skimmer to stay always
ON or even control it via 1-10V interface. Simply pick the sub-section that applies to you.
React to a Feed Pause
How to setup feed pause functions
Plug in skimmer to the assigned Powerbar outlet.
Turn ON skimmer during certain times of the day (TIMER)
TO DO: Setup normal ON/OFF timers
Plug in skimmer to the assigned Powerbar outlet
Shut down skimmer if sump water level gets too high or cup is full
In order to turn OFF the skimmer to prevent it from overflowing, you will need a GHL float or
optical sensor. This sensor is what will trigger the pump to turn OFF.
How to setup leakage detection
Plug in skimmer to the assigned Powerbar outlet.
React to a maintenance mode
The maintenance mode is a feature that temporarily turns OFF or ON specific Powerbar outlets.
This feature can also be used to ramp down a 1-10v compatible skimmer pump that is
connected to the ProfiLux.
How to setup maintenance modes
Setting a skimmer delay after a Maintenance mode
If you decide to use a Maintenance mode, all the outlets that were once OFF will now turn back
ON. For in-sump skimmers, this can be detrimental because the water level in the sump will be
too high the moment the skimmer turns back ON. As a result, the skimmer cup may overflow.
The solution would be to set a delay for the skimmer once a Maintenance mode has ended.
This gives the sump water level enough time to go back to normal level before the skimmer
turns back ON.
