Vertex Illumina Light Studio Programming Thread

Need Help! Master/slave setting !

Need Help! Master/slave setting !

Hey everyone,
I really hope someone can help me out on this one! I've tried and tried and searched and searched but cannot find the answer!

I need to figure out how to set the master/slave function for my 2 12" Illumina 260 units. So I have two 12" units over my 40gal breeder. I lucked out the other day and had one of the units set to master and the other to slave and was able to test it out by testing the lightning effect controlling the master unit in the vertex desktop program. Both units were synced and linked and would both do the lightning effect.

I had to unplug the master unit to aquascape and now I cannot get this done again.

I've tried setting the desired slave unit to "slave" by clicking through setting on the unit itself then set the desired master unit to "master" but I just can't get it figured out.

Anyone know how to do this? Please please! lol

I have never been able to use my V controller with my Mac, only with a PC. Anyone having luck with the latest 1970 desktop on Mac OS 10.9? How close to the tank do you have to be?

Did you ever figure this out mperl? I have an old macbook (2007 i think) and have the latest Vertex desktop and all v sticks working with light units. I run OS 10.7.5 .
 
Help with Getting unit to turn on

Help with Getting unit to turn on

For the past few days I have not been able to get my SR360 1500 to turn on.
I had unplugged everything and started over but that did virtually nothing. I would get a small flash from one of the LED's when plugging in one of the Mean Well Drivers. All the lights on the Mean Well Drivers and splitter box are on. The display on the end of the unit shows nothing and does not respond when pressing the buttons.

I tried again to connect with V-Link which does connect to the light but will not read or right any programs.

However when I tried hitting the light studio button the light came on, expect for the first pad. As soon as I hit OK everything then shuts down again

I saw a video on-line on how to reset the LED's and will try that on the first pad tomorrow, and if not it looks like replacement pads are available.

My concern is if the issue is also in the module that controls the display and v-link, and if a similar procedure or replacement pad is available for that.

Anybody had any similar experiences or thoughts on things to try and fix this?

My first thought was to suggest resetting the pads as you monitored. Other than that it seems like a slurry of things. Contacting Jen may be the best bet. I have yet to figure out my minor issue and have my lights currently separately programmed but I may have to contact Jen as well at some point.

Thanks

After opening the light up looks like something got fried. There is a brown spot on the plexiglass cover, and you could smell a burning smell on it.

Its still under warranty so will try giving Jen a call

Bummer"¦. well at least you know what the problem is and you can deal with it now! I wonder how something like that happens? How long have you had that fixture?
 
I have two 12" vertex illuminat over my 72 gallon bowfront. I plan on having a mixed reef. Can someone shoot me over some settings for a sunrise, sunset, moon rise and moon set. I tried playing around with the programming but I suck at it. Having two units instead of one does help either. Anything will help at this point.
 
Preset Color Temperatures

Preset Color Temperatures

Hello,

So AI and Ecotech include presets for setting their LED fixtures at certain temperatures but I have seen nothing from vertex.

Would it be as simple as obtaining the graphs from those fixtures and transposing the intensities to the vertex LED to match?

Does anyone already have a setting for specific temperatures?

I have 2 1ft 260's on a 65g, both with the multicolor module. Specifically looking for solid SPS growth and coloration.

Many thanks,

Tried demo mode and one panel doesn't work!

Can't seem to find anywhere online a new full panel.
