ProfiLux 4 Programming Guide

4 independent groups can be programmed. A group consists of up to 4 (or up to 16) pumps
which can be independently controlled.
4.5.1 Nocturnal Change
For the current simulation, a Nocturnal change of the pump power can be adjusted. If the
Nocturnal change is activated, the start and end times must also be entered. Within these
times, the pumps are operated with the power set for the night. The night change affects all
pumps in all groups.
4.5.2 Group Settings
The following parameters can be set for each group:
4.5.2.1 Operational Mode
Here you can set the operating mode for a group. The individual groups may have different
operating modes.
Off – The pumps of this group are permanently off.
Permanent – The pumps are permanently active and run synchronously.
Permanent alternating – The pumps are permanently active and operate alternating, i.e. if
pump 1 runs at maximum speed, pump 2 runs at minimum speed and vice versa.
Sequence 1 – Here, always exactly one current pump of this group is switched on alternating.
The duration for the change from one pump to the next one can be set, see below. When the
last pump of this group was active, the cycle starts again with the first pump of this group. If
this group consists of 2 pumps, then the ebb-tide-simulation is generated. If only one pump
belongs to this group, it is switched on and off alternating.
"Pump active" means that the pump is running continuously between min.
and max. current speed and thus generates waves.
A socket assigned to the flow pump is then switched on.
"Pump inactive" does not necessarily mean that the pump is off, but that it
runs at its minimum power.
A socket assigned to the flow pump is then switched off.
The group settings determine when and for how long which pump is active
in this group, the pump settings determine the behavior of the pump during
activity and inactivity.
