GHL Doser 2 - new features and prices

[AQD_ottawa]

yes and no

Always fit non return valves if below but I would always recommend above as nothing is as sure as a leak in life!

Not sure if this has been asked but does the unit have a ato level sensor out of the box or does it have to be purchased separately?

Thanks

 

[AQD_ottawa]

This is a separate purchase as GHL off two types, this gives the client the option to choose if they want float or optical.

Thanks for the quick relpy.

I imagined that would be the case. But i can't find such an accessory for purchase here in the states. Any recommendations?

Up until recently GHL was more of a store front product but this has now changed with both Aqua Cave and premium aquatics and also online with reefbytes

premium are still populating as are aqua cave but here is a link and you can contact any of these listed to order for you

Great Feedback from one of our new dealers we just got this in

Hello, thanks again took 20 minutes to program dosing unit with parameters I wanted. So much nicer then Pacific Sun unit I have else where. Smoother interface. Data upload is instant. Pumps are whisper quiet and it's not as bulky. Truly a better buy.

Fantastic! Always great to hear GHL are hitting the market and running with it.

Can't wait to see the slave version. ETA is Jan. 2015?

Did the magnetic stirrer accessory/option question get answered?

If not, is there a magnetic stirrer available that plugs in?

There is no current ETA, GHL do not give ETA's that often due to fear of everyone jumping on them if that is not met.

Yes there will be but I do not have a date or any idea of its design as yet.

I don't see a temp sensor listed, though there is an extension cable for it. I also don't see the optical sensor for ATO.

Availability ?

None of the actual temp sensors(BNC Connection -Bayonet Neill–Concelman) and temp accessories for the GHL Doser 2 are currently listed on Premium Aquatics, nor Aqua Cave, though. You can contact either dealer to order GHL accessories for you.

GHL's new Doser 2 utilizes a BNC plug connection instead of Mini-Din, product # PL-1115

Well that's a step in the right direction. Mini-Din is pretty dated and BNC is pretty standard and less problematic.

But what I'm looking for is price info and availability.

As the software has not been expanded as yet for the features (yes this is coming soon, GHL are doing a stepped roll out) the pricing is not launched.

The level sensors are the same as the ProfiLux so pricing will be the same. The temp sensors will be here as of the 29th December and we will release pricing with the 2015 catalogue to dealers.

New software and firmware!

With the current version the LAN/ W-LAN settings of the GHL Doser 2 were improved
and an assistant for static IP addresses and a wireless search were added.

It is now possible to search for wireless networks, the appropriate settings are entered automatically.
With the assistent for static IP address it is now easier to change the static IP address of the GHL Doser 2.

Following changes since Version 1.0.5.9 have been made:
Wireless network search added
Assitant for static IP address added
GHL Doser 2 firmware version 1.02 added
Several optimizations


To use the new functions the GHL Doser 2 needs a firmware update to version 1.02, the firmware is included with the GHL Control Center.

You can download the new version with the following link:

Hi. I won't be buying a Doser 2 until the ATO/level sensor functionality is included in the firmware.

Any rough ETA would be greatly appreciated!

[AQD_ottawa]

I will ask for you.

 

[pepedopolous]

Thanks!

 

[Matthias Gross]

the ATO / AWC functions will be released in Jan/Feb 2015

Doesn't the GHL 2 doser compete with the P3N? Can it be connected to a PAB device like expansion box or powerbar?
