Controller Details & Compatibility
Multi-channel Lighting Control
Control up to 32 independent channels of dimmable and non-dimmable lamps
Freely programmable
True calendar moon phase: Simulates the lunar rhythm in harmony with nature and promotes species-typical behavior.
Sunrise and sunset simulation
Seasonal lighting: ProfiLux Aquarium Controllers (beginning with version 3) are capable of simulating the seasonal cycle of sunshine duration and sun intensity.
Thunderstorm simulation: Simulate lighting-effects in conjunction with dimmable GHL lights. Programmable storm parameters allow you to change the frequency, intensity, and duration of a thunderstorm.
Rainy day simulation
Cloud simulation: Programmable random generators allow you to define the beginning, intensity, duration, and speed of a cloud – soeach time new clouds are created.
Temperature-dependent light reduction: for short-term temperature peaks on hot summer days.
Tropical twilight
Gentle lighting transition from summer-time to winter-time laid out across several days.
PWM interface for LEDs
Lab Grade Measurement and Controllability
Water temperature monitoring/control: Program heaters, ground heaters, and cooling devices for maintaining temperature; Nightly cooling can also be programmed. Intelligent summer-circuit for optional ground heating.
pH monitoring/control: Program up and down pH regulation via CO2-addition (pH-decrease) or via Alkalisation (pH-increase); Nightly decrease can also be programmed.
Redox monitoring/control
Conductivity (Salinity) monitoring/control
Oxygen monitoring/control
Humidity monitoring/control
Air temperature monitoring/control
Measurement of KH or Alkalinity (Coming soon)
Universally switchable inputs: For pH and ORP; inputs are already compatible for future ion-selective electrodes (e.g., Ca)
Galvanically isolated sensor inputs: For high measurement sensitivity
Sensor life monitor: Automatically records total operation hours for all sensors; can be reset as needed.
Menu-guided calibration for all sensors and probes.
Sick fish therapy program:
Some fish diseases require a temporary water temperature adjustment. ProfiLux can be programmed to slowly lower the temperature for a set-time. Normal temperature is automatically set after an adjustable time.
Universal analog and digital inputs
Level functions: For level sensors, leakage-sensors, automatic water change functions, etc.
Flow (stream) pump control
Versatile Pump Control
Independently control up to 16 stream pumps
Wide selection of flow modes: High/low tide, Surge, Random, and much more
Variable wave duration: Program wave times from 0.4s…60s in 10 ms steps
Programmable random-wave length and intensity
Various wave mode options: Sine wave, right-angled wave, short right-angled wave
Nocturnal flow: Programmable flow decrease within a desired time range
Thunderstorm mode
Feed pause adjustable: Programmable pump behavior during feed pauses
3rd party pump compatibility (Tunze®, Hydor Koralia®, Abbyzz®, Royal Exclusiv®, EcoTech®, as well as all pumps with a 1-10V interface)
Unparalleled Security
Continuous monitoring and control of all water values
Acoustic and visual alarm
