Switching Controllers from Apex to GHL

Ditto · Jun 25, 2019

The 7204 and the new breeze are shipping from Germany very soon. They showed a picture on there Facebook page of pallets loaded with new gear heading to the new NC warehouse. I am thinking sometime in July we will be able to order them and they will begin to ship them in the US.

An additional comment for the Power Bar comparison:

GHL PAB 5.1 and 6E have surge protection built into them. Neptune Energy Bars do not.

Ghl power bar has 160A in rush current...this is insane

@Ditto

Can the GHL Profilux 4 be wall mounted instead of shelf mounted?
Can somebody snap a picture of the underside of the unit?

I do not see any keyhole mounts in the bottom. It is not particularly heavy so you could probably mount it with some industrial Velcro but shelf mounting seems the safer option here.

@vangvace - thank you for this info I will add it to the power bar comparison list and repost this weekend.

@Ohashimz - thank you, I will add that also to the list also.

@shoggoth43 - your correct it does not have any type of keyhole mounts to mount on a wall. Great 3d project for someone to come up with a mounting plate!!

Well I can officially enter my hat into the GHL ring. Pulling the trigger this evening. Thanks to @Vinny@GHLUSA and Darren @ BigShowFrags up in Canadaland, and the guys here that have been a big help, @Ditto especially.

Going to be Christmas in July!

Same here, ordered at RAP NY, just sent another order for some accessories I couldn't remember/think of during the expo.

I didn't get to meet @Ditto but Vinny really took time to go over capabilities - he's great; thank you!

Unlike the folks at the orange and silver stand, things were just relaxed and calm - not exactly the vibe I got from Terrance every time I had questions.

Ditto · Jun 27, 2019

Sorry that we did not meet up, always next year!! We need a GHL user meeting at RAP!!

@Kyl - welcome to the GHL family

was great helping you!!

@BZOFIQ - welcome to the GHL family, sorry we did not meet up. I was there until Sunday about 12:00 but had to leave due to a work issue.

Crimsonvice · Jun 27, 2019

I'll just put this here...

If it makes it to you, I might have to hijack the truck

Most assuredly this package isn't being left on the steps. One of the perks of working in inventory, you control the shipping / receiving dock.

I plan on buying the 4e this weekend. Was curious on what exactly I'm losing with the s port. What is it really used for

shoggoth43 · Jun 27, 2019

I snagged a P4 set on the way out of RAP NY. I might have a minor problem but I'm sure Vinnie will handle it. Overall I'm happy with the P4 so far. Just going to take a while to do a 1:1 changeover as I figure out how GHL does things but I've had to do some crazy workarounds in Apex land. Then a I have a lot of wiring cleanup that I've needed to do for quite some time now anyway.

Ditto · Jun 27, 2019

@DJF- The P4 does not have at this time Alexa command services.

@ajhudson15 - I placed a 4e on my frag tank

The S port is the legacy 12v port

@shoggoth43 - welcome to the GHL family!!

Here is what I experienced. While yes there is a learning curve to learn the new system. Its much more intuitive and easier if I compared it to when I first got my apex..
You will have fun.
