HELP!!! Profilux setup!

I mean to say page 1 on my thread is the step by step how to calibrate a probe.

On page 2 I show how to install a pab device and configure it.

I meant should I be using a computer to find page one? Because the app only Scrolls down so much.

 

[Ditto]

To add the pab bar should be done from the computer via usb.

To do the probes you use the display on the P4 to calibrate them.

 

[Gonzo74]

Calibration probes now. Will try to figure out PAB after that.

Thank you very much. I will keep everyone posted.

What is Redux and what should my level be?

 

[Gonzo74]

Also, my refractometer reads my salinity at 1.024 and my Profilux at 1.0223.
What am I doing wrong?

 

[Ditto]

Redox differs tank to tank. It takes a 7-10 days once it inside your tank. You should see it rise and fall opposite of your PH. There is no master level of it, mine is
Approx 310. If I see a large dip in my
ORP then I have it alert me to see what going on (possible dead fish for example)

As for salinity I have found mine dead on with my refractometer. Have you calibrated your refrctometer lately?

 

[Gonzo74]

Just calibrated refractometer and trying to calibrate salinity on Profilux.

My redux reads -1000

 

[Gonzo74]

What does it mean when it says, inert null plug for redox?

 

[Ditto]

You should have a null plug that came with your kit it is a BNC plug that is capped or null.

Looks something like this:

[Gonzo74]

Does it matter which one of the clear pugs I use? I can’t remember which came with the redux plug?

 

[Ditto]

As long as it looks like the picture above no.

 

[Gonzo74]

Oh, that was already plugged in.

I thought the null plug was the clear plastic thingy that the tip of the redux probe came in.

So the probe does not have to be in a solution when I plug the null plug into the back?

 

[WWIII]

Does it matter which one of the clear pugs I use? I can’t remember which came with the redux plug?

Not the clear plugs. It's a metal piece you insert in the bnc connection on the p4, before you connect the probe.

Nope, the probe isn't connected to the p4 yet.

 

[Ditto]

No it the metal plug like the picture shown above.

 

[Ditto]

The null plug goes in first to 0 out the port, then it will ask you to remove the null plug and plug back in the orp probe for calibration.

 

[Ditto]

Not the clear plugs. It's a metal piece you insert in the bnc connection on the p4, before you connect the probe.

Thanks

 

[Gonzo74]

Found the null plug. Doing it now. Thanks!

I feel like an idiot!

My Salinity is still off. How did you measure the temp of your salinity solution?

 

[Ditto]

I had a digital thermometer like this one:

You can also float the solution in your tank for 15-20 minutes and then use your tank tempture also.

 

[Gonzo74]

Great idea
