Alternatives to Digital Aquatics Probes and Parts.

thanks!

this is what code my modules are running:
RKL: 2.06
PC4: 2.04
ACL: 2.08

So I would like to set up the new light which has controller inputs (0-10V, one for whites, other for blues) and use the ACL module to ramp lights up and down. in the RKL manual, not seeing a clear way to do this. When selecting "Advanced lights" there's no place to set the on/off time, just ramp and delay?

If I remember correctly the timers are setup separately and you choose the timer you want to use on the output settings. It has been a few years since I did anything on a RKE or RKL. I can send you the firmware I have if you want. I don't think it will change anything for lighting though.

I still have some lights on my Archon which is the Digital Aquatics head unit after the RKE. It is a little different but the timers are separate on it. Below is screenshots of the timer and output settings. The Archon has a built in web server but used the same modules as the RKE or RKL with a few exceptions.

ok, so the RKE directions are MUCH better than the RKL, got the lights figured out.

thanks n2585722!

Do you know if it will fix the "time" drift issue on the head unit? I just reset the clock yesterday. In another couple months it will be an hour behind. If not, then will leave alone for now.

As far as I know the only difference is the ramp limit is different on the RKL from the RKE. The Archon does not have a limit for the ramp. I don't remember if ramp down at the end is included in the timer for the RKE or RKL. On the Archon the ramp down is not a part of the timer. As far as the time that is determined by a separate clock chip. If I remember correctly there is a battery for it that does need to be changed after a few years of use.

Does anyone have the pinout for the APC to Tunze powerhead cable ?

I see the sticky for My Reef is gone now. I am still using a RKL and it's still working perfect. It will be replaced with a V2 Apex setup here very soon though.
