problem with programming L ports via splitter.

[conny737]

Have some problems regarding programming of the L ports on my Profilux eX.

When I connect two units to one L port on the box via a splitter, for exampel one T5 and a GHL fan on L1/L2, both units turn on as soon as I make L1 active. Making L2 active gives no reaction.

If I connect two T5´s and program them as lightning 3 and 4, they both turn on according to lightning 3 scheme and disregards lightning 4.

What am I doing wrong? The problem was showing in last firm/software. Now I upgraded to latest firm/software, but problem persists.

Found out in another thread that I can change jumper setting in the propeller breeze control box, that solved the problem partly.

Maybe it is a jumper issue regarding the lightning also? The guy who mounted the dimmable ballast might have set them on same channel (odd/even)? Where can I find a manual to the GHL dimmable ballast?

what have you assigned in 1-10V interface

send me your data file

In each of the L-ports are 2 channels present.

The wiring and/or jumper setting decide which one of the both channels is used.
How are the ballasts connected? With our EVG-AP? LBF-AP? LF-ABOX? Directly?
I need more information to give a sensemaking answer.
A photo of the complete wiring and installation would be the best.

Hi!
Thanks both of you for answering! Sorry to bother you for a small thing as this.

I think the L port programming is correct, I can also hear a click in the T5´s when they are supposed to turn on accordning to my programming.

As the fan (connected to L6) now works fine (after changing jumper setting in the prop breeze control box ) together with one of the T5´s (connected to L5) I suppose the problem is in the ballast wiring.

I will contact the firm that installed the dimmable ballasts to get more info regarding which model they are. As I recall it was a GHL product, but do not now more than that.

As for now I have one T5 on L5, the other one on L7 (have an expansion card S4L2). It works as it is supposed to, so maybe it´s no point to make a fuss about it? It just confirms the theory that the ballast wiring connects both T5´s to the same channel (odd).

The only negative thing I can see is that logically both lights should be on the same L port (L5/L6). But this has no practical impact.

Finally I just want to give you credit for the programmable logic. I think it is a very useful function which really extend the possibilities of an already very competent product.
