Need help setting up your ProfiLux 4? *** PC edition ***

[Steve2020]

Did you take off the cover to see if the connector was loose?

Connector was not loose and pins are good both male and female.

@Ditto
Thanks but i have already added 2 pumps to Stream Group 1 (Port L1/2)so do i add my next 2 pumps to Stream Group 2 (Port L3/4) and programme ?

i feel lost

Hey Ditto, Quick Question. Is there a way to setup a mixing station pump on/off schedule without scheduling multiple timer settings? Example would be running a mixing station pump for 10 minutes every 2 hrs every day.

Use the cyclic command for the timer do it all the time. It allows you to set how long to stay on and then the pause between the next time it logs on. Saves time settin

Here is mine

Thank you Ditto. I was playing around with the P4 yesterday and that's exactly what what i did. I was just a little confused on the min and max time but eventually figured it out. My mixing station is up and running but with just RODI water cycling. My tank is not due to arrive until mid October so i have had plenty of time to get familiar with the P4. Seems like a rock solid controller as long as you can maintain WiFi connection which i took care of with Xfinity Pods. I am sure i will have a few more questions once I get everything installed and running in a few months. Again, thanks allot.

@FLSharkvictim - what problem are you having on the hook up of the unit? I have assisted quite a few people

Here is a good thread with @Be102 showing the steps to get the unit up and running.

It not the same as a Apex, but also not to hard, make sure you update to the latest wireless firmware and P4 code.

I sold off all my GHL controllers and dosers and switched back o all Neptune due to the fact that Neptune controllers are lot easier to set up and they are MAC compatible.

Can someone help me? I am following the guide from page one to setup my new Proflux 4. I get the connection added but when I try to open the connection GCC just closes down. I have deleted the connection, set it up again several times but always with the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[Ditto]

Sorry your having issues,

When you say you get the connection added, can you explain which connection. Are you doing the one in the GHL Connect App when attempting to connect to the HotSpot or the GHL Desktop Application via USB cable.

Is it a TCP/IP setup?

If it is - set up it again the way you should. Close down your GCC totally - do not try to connect - just close the GCC. Open it up again and now you will find your set up to the right. Dubbel click and it will probably open the right way.

I have noted before that everytime you change the TCP/IP setting - you have to close GCC and start it again before you try too open the new connection.

I´m not adware that this is valid for USB connections too. I always shout down the GCC after a change of administration issues - and restart the program before I try to connect.

You will see the new connection (here it is test) but DO NOT start now. Just shout the whole program down (the x in the red circle.

Restart GCC

Press ok

Dubble click the new icon (test in my case)

@Vinny@GHLUSA This is probably a bug - it have been in this way for a long time. I do not know if it is fixed now because I always do this way.

Yes we know that now - can you please stop to destroy every GHL thread with this comment.

The desktop application with the USB cable.

The desktop application with the USB cable.

I got it. I guess I did not have the current software installed as i uninstalled it and installed 1.31and i can see it now.
