which one should i plug into thlevel 1&2 /Optical or float sensor

[janey]

I have the P3 and i see only 1 input for the level 1 & 2 ..
As I researched and i guess i need to get the PLM-4Level card..?? right

but mean time, which can i use till i get the PLM-4Level ...

Also i will be using a Tunze Osmolator pump.. but how do i connect that ? it has a brown and blue wire ?




thanks janey

You require the port splitter

You can not connect the Tunze osomolator there is no requirement for this when using GHL level control.

Sorry ,Michael dont understand ?
So how do i use a ATO ?? with the level sensors ?

do i plug it into a socket and program it ?

If you are just running an osmolator pump, without the osmolator sensors, you could connect it directly to a power supply (3-12V) and then plug the power supply into a switched outlet off the P3. The switched outlet could then be controlled from the sensors you have.

If you are using a complete osmolator you will not need to use the Profilux sensors or the P3 for ATO - but you could use them for backup in case the osmolator failed.

YES just the an osmolator pump, without the osmolator sensors, I'll be using the sensors from the level 1&2 input.

simplest option

plug small pump into a switchable socket and set to water fill 1 and set the ATO sensor in level set up to ATO water 1

No need for third party equipment just sell it
