Open GCC to the left probe/sensor Control/ level
Do not put in the mini DIN Contact yet
Step 1
Look at setting and state level settings. If you only have the p4 (no extension box) it will look like this
Step 2
On the backside you have two mini DIN Contacts for level indicators. The lower one serve sensor 1 and 2 (if you do not have a split for two sensors – it serve as sensor 1) Put in the din contact of the sensor in the lower female contact. Let the floating body of the sensor hang down.
State (direct) and State (delayed) at sensor 1 shows a minus sign. If you move the floating body up and down slowly - it will alternate between X and - You have found your level sensor
Step 3
I normaly change the reaction tim to 5 s instead of 1. Just dubbel click in the window for delay and edit the number to 5 (or whatever)
Step 4
Now we will configure a level function. Dubbel click at the row Control Circuit 1 or which you want.
Edit the function. I chose Leckage detection because it will give an alarm if its filled up, maximum on-time 0:00:00 (it means that you disable that function - you do not need it here), I un check the Reset error automatically - it means that I have to reset the alarm manually after fixing the issue (empty skimmer cup). I like it that way but if you do not need that level of control - you can have the option checked.
In this example sensor 1 was the one to use. Which to use - we tested out at step 2
Do not forget to name the function.
Click OK
After this - do not forget to save in the upper left Save Changes - just click it
Step 5
Click progamable logic
Step 6
Dubble click G1
Step 7
Configure this way. Click ok and do not forget to click on Save Changes at upper left
Step 8
To have a socket to behave as you want
Expand the plus before system - click on switch channels and outlets - dubble click the socket of your choise - in my case - socket 1. chose function programable logic 1 and name the function. Click OK and do not forget to click on save Changes at the upper left
The most common mistake is to forget to click at save changes at upper left - see the arrow. After this it should look like below. The bloe sign at S1 indicate an Active outlet
Step 8
Now should you test the function. Before you do that - go back to level and check reset errors automatically - and click OK and do not forget to click at save changes at upper left
. It will make it easier to test - you do not need to reset the alarm at the device. After testing - you can uncheck it again if you want. Have the Swich channel and outlets open. Move the floating body of the sensor uppwards and wait at least 5 sec. Now should the S1 lose its blu colour and indicate that the channel is of. When you move the body downwards - after 5 sec it should turn blue again. If you have your powerbar connected you can see that the indicator light will change.
This is one way of configuring - there is other ways also - but this works for me. When the email option is implemented for P4 – you can use that in order to get information
If you do not wan´t any alarms you can use an other level function like Auto top off -
For my Aquarium I have done a my set up whitch stop my return pump, my heater and my dosing pumps if my top off pump is working more tha 10 minutes and create an alarm (normal fill up time - around 6 minutes) These things will also stop at other alarms.
Hope this will help you to understand the logics of ProfiLux - this is one solution - there will probaly exist more ways to solve this problem
