ProfiLux® 4  – Designed to Perform…Reliably

Multi-channel Lighting Control

• Control up to 32 independent channels of dimmable and non-dimmable lamps
• Freely programmable
• True calendar moon phase: Simulates the lunar rhythm in harmony with nature and promotes species-typical behavior.
• Sunrise and sunset simulation
• Seasonal lighting: ProfiLux Aquarium Controllers (beginning with version 3) are capable of simulating the seasonal cycle of sunshine duration and sun intensity
• Thunderstorm simulation: Simulate lighting-effects in conjunction with dimmable GHL lights. Programmable storm parameters allow you to change the frequency, intensity, and duration of a thunderstorm.
• Rainy day simulation
• Cloud simulation: Programmable random generators allow you to define the beginning, intensity, duration, and speed of a cloud – so each time new clouds are created.
• Temperature-dependent light reduction: for short-term temperature peaks on hot summer days.
• Tropical twilight
• Gentle lighting transition from summer-time to winter-time laid out across several days.
• PWM interface for LEDs

Lab Grade Measurement and Controllability

• Water temperature monitoring/control: Program heaters, ground heaters, and cooling devices for maintaining temperature; Nightly cooling can also be programmed. Intelligent summer-circuit for optional ground heating.
• pH monitoring/control: Program up and down pH regulation via CO2-addition (pH-decrease) or via Alkalisation (pH-increase); Nightly decrease can also be programmed.
• Redox monitoring/control
• Conductivity (Salinity) monitoring/control
• Oxygen monitoring/control
• Humidity monitoring/control
• Air temperature monitoring/control
• Measurement of KH or Alkalinity (Coming soon)
• Universally switchable inputs: For pH and ORP; inputs are already compatible for future ion-selective electrodes (e.g., Ca)
• Galvanically isolated sensor inputs: For high measurement sensitivity
• Sensor life monitor: Automatically records total operation hours for all sensors; can be reset as needed.
• Menu-guided calibration for all sensors and probes.
• Sick fish therapy program:
  Some fish diseases require a temporary water temperature adjustment. ProfiLux can be programmed to slowly lower the temperature for a set-time. Normal temperature is automatically set after an adjustable time.
• Universal analog and digital inputs
• Level functions: For level sensors, leakage-sensors, automatic water change functions, etc.
• Flow (stream) pump control
• Programmable data logging

Versatile Pump Control

• Independently control up to 16 stream pumps

ProfiLux 4e -  The “e” in ProfiLux 4e stands for essential

The ProfiLux 4e features the same high degree of quality and reliability as the flagship ProfiLux 4.

With ProfiLux 4e, users who do not – or not immediately – need all the features of ProfiLux 4 are offered a more affordable alternative to ProfiLux 4 without sacrificing the essential.

In comparison to ProfiLux 4, ProfiLux 4e has in the basic configuration one switchable pH/ORP input instead of two and no conductivity input, and in addition the less required S ports (digital outputs / connection for classicpowerbars) have been removed. Otherwise ProfiLux 4e is identical to ProfiLux 4.

An upgrade to the full range of functions of the ProfiLux 4 is possible at any time later, either by inserting expansion cards or by connecting an expansion box.
