NICE!!! This looks like exactly what I was looking at. thanks for posting this. that is a good and expensive list lol. good luck to you.
 
Nice list ;)

I would suggest a few changes:
  • Swap the Level sensor fastener for another Level Sensor Fastener, angled. Since you'd be getting 2x Optical sensors, you would need 2x angled brackets. The level sensor fastener is for float sensors.
  • Add 1 more Splitter cable for Level Sensors. Your current list will require 4 level inputs (2x optical sensors, 1x flow sensor, 1x leak interface). The Flow sensor and Leak interface can be connected to the Level 1/2 port and your 2x optical sensors to the Level 3/4 port, each using a splitter cable.

A few things to add:
  • YL2-1 splitter: This will allow you to connect both Tunze cables to a single 1-10V port. It'll save you from having to take up 2 separate ports. We have these available in 3 different lengths 1m, 2.5m, 5m.
  • PAB-cable 1m: This will physically connect the Slave doser to the ProfiLux 4. This cable connects to the PAB-port on the P4 and Doser. If you need a different length cable, they are offering in sizes ranging from 0.5m - 50m. (1.5ft - 150ft)

Suggested items:
  • PLM-PWC expansion card: If you're planning to wirelessly control the Mitras LX7 off of the ProfiLux 4, you will need this expansion card to do so. Otherwise, the LX7 would be controlled as a standalone device.
 
Another tip:
Depending on how much ATO water your system needs, you will be better off with a GHL Doser Maxi if that amount is greater than approx. 1.5 gal/day.

How are you using the 2 opticals?
If you're using it in a failsafe setup, 1 operating, one high, I would recommend:
Use an optical for operating, and change the second one to a manual/floater for the high level failsafe.
 
vinny and marco thank you so much for the help. I did plan to use one sensor as a back up or fail safe. So i will switch that out. I plan to use two flow sensors so it looks like i will need an expansion card for that? Also what is the diffrence between controlling the mitras with in the profilux vs stand alone? Also thanks for the heads up on the doser. i dont know what my evaporation rate is yet as the tank is not set up.
 
Im following for future reference. Thanks for starting post.
