Vertex Libra dosing............a big pain in the........

[Diesel]

I know we have a bunch ppl here on R2R that dose with the Vertex libra.
As we all know Vertex has problems with the firmware for the dosers.
Even after having a new firmware installed, they still can't have it right.
Can everybody chime in who has one and if it's working correctly.

With more members maybe we can set this straight.

My dosing doesn't do what I program it for.
If set for 5ml per hr it spit out one hr 4ml and the next 8ml, even it tells me that it dosed 5ml as programmed.

what is the version of the firmware?

what is the version of the firmware?

Not sure, as I have used 3 versions as recommended by Vertex even the latest.
Have to look for them and will post them.

I'm on the fence between one of these and just getting the BRS pumps to use with my (very near future) Apex.......sounds like I may need to go with the tried and true BRS/Apex solution

I've had issues with BRS pumps. I use them for ato. First one was extremely noisy, replacement one failed 6 months later. Used ghl profilux for dosing and have not had a problem with it

can you tell me anything about the profilux controller?

nevermind, just saw the price of their controllers. YEEOUCH! I'll probably have to stick to the apex, it's bad enough $$$
