Basically operates like a standard optical sensor, in the fact that it can read WET or DRY. It reads wet when the bottom 2 sensors are covered. It reads dry if all 3 sensors are dry. The input will also read OVERFLOW if all 3 sensors are wet. Overflow is only used to generate an alert for the...
Typically you can not directly adapt optical sensors to the sense port on hydros. Typically off the shelf optical sensors require an external resistor bias network to work correctly.
Yes as Thomas said, you can run it off a drive port but not at full speed. Use something similar to what I used here for a speed control: Variable Speed Hydros Doser
I just tried myself and didnt have an issue, but that doesnt mean you might not have a specific case thats causing an issue. In that case, I would suggest reaching out to support@coralvue.com and let them look into your specific use case.
Pulling this off onto its own thread since its an easier way to interface eTape sensors with Hydros.
I have a full tutorial here: Hydros LLS Sensor Tutorial
But in short, you CAN use Neptunes LLS sensors with Hydro's 0-10V input channels/port. They are super handy for monitoring levels or...
I found another sensor that works very well with Hydros that provides both humidity and temp. In addition this new sensor is pretty rugged and can be used for high humidity situations like reptile enclosures where other solutions previously would've suffered in these environments. This sensor...
technically you can run a single battery on a fill WE, and 2 WE LE is effectively the same thing as a full WE with maybe alittle more overhead because of 2 processors vs 1 but I don’t think that’s an issue. I’d have to check what my full WE power supply’s current handling is, but if you run a...
They really don't supply any details on the implementation of this module, I would suspect you could adapt it to a sense port or even 0-10V input port but without more details I can't say for sure.
If you have it set to 75-82, and power cycle your system with the outlet set to AUTO, the output will come up as default OFF and wont turn back on until temp drops below 75.
Ah, yeah check the keying then between the adapter cable and the pump plug. Also make sure the pump model is set to varios 4. If you still have issues reach out to support@coralvue.com
