yes always power everything down when connecting or disconnecting command bus connections.The only power supply that does not have the isolation is the one that connects directly to the command bus. If it connects to a separate power cable then the isolation is in the controller between the...
You set the active when for the modes but it just means it can be on in that mode as long as all the other thing in the settings will allow it to be on. So basically you tell which outputs cannot come on for a particular mode and not which one need to be on. Since you have a schedule set it...
The X4 does not have it's own power input and gets it power from the command bus. Both the Start and the XP8 are power givers so there is some redundancy for power there. Yes you will need the terminators. The have resistors in them that allows communications between the controllers over the...
This is my cooling fans. The are cooler guys fans and are also IP67 rated. The bracket goes over the sump above the bubble trap. I have 2 other fans for ventilation of the stand and canopy. The second photo is the sump outside the stand with everything in place including the fan. It was taken...
The command bus dropping to 12vis what triggers the low power mode. If you could use 24v battery it would not go into low power mode then. They use a 12-24v to 24v DC to DC converter between the force port and the device. So either 12 or 24v from the Force port will get you 24v to your device...
Since I have both fans connected to the same drive port they both come on and off at the same time. It is either on or off. Below are my settings for the output.
0-10v is just a control signal and there has to be a 0-10v input for it on the pump controller. Also only the WEv2 has a 0-10v output port. On the WELE the 0-10v port is input only.
If you are like me you would eventually need more controllers anyway once you find other uses for them. I have 15 controllers in my largest collective. It is about half at the tank and half in the garage at my RODI unit and mixing station. My first one was the X4 starter kit just after they were...
I thought Inkbirds were heater controllers. If it is you can set it up to be the heating control. You can use an AC outlet on one of the contollers that have AC outlets and setup the output as a backup off for the Inkbird.
There is a thread on the forum where you can make suggestions like that. Someone my have already made that suggestion but then the more that do the more likely that it will happen as long as it can be done.
Did you set it up using one button to turn either on or off and press again to do the opposite? Have a mixing pump in my mix tank and it uses the level sensor to turn on and off. It set to be on if over 60% full otherwise it is off.
If you have a spare drive port or AC outlet you can always try setting that as the output devices for the reagent pump and see if it will then do the pH salinity testing only without scheduling a alkalinity test. I have not tried this since I do both alkalinity testing and pH salinity only...
You can only use an output port in one output setup. I don't use a heater controller but my heaters also have thermostats on them so I have their thermostats set for 3 degrees above the turn off setting in Hydros. So my Hydros is main control and the heater thermostats are the backup. So they do...
