to supply all power-supplied devices which are operated in the aquarium or next to it with supply voltage via
a fault current protection switch!
ProfiLux Touch is not waterproof. This means that all parts have to be protected from humidity (also

1.5 Mounting
Using the attached mounting set you can install the display, alternatively the keyholes on the rear can be used to
suspend the display from 2 screws. Please note that the screws must not protrude more than 8 mm into the
enclosure, otherwise the display may get damaged!
The interface can be screwed on, therefore it has 2 screw holes.
1.6 Connection
Connect the display through the provided connection cable with the interface.
In the rear side of the ProfiLux Touch display you will find a hole, here you have to plug in the cable. The hole has been
designed in a way that it is possible to route the cable downwards or to the back side (e.g. through a wall).
Afterwards connect the power supply and PAB.

3.2 Colors
If you don’t like to use the colors that are already predefined in the theme, you can use own colors.
3.3 Measurement value memory
ProfiLux Touch stores up to 4 million measurement values in the integrated memory, the storing is made
independently from the measurement value storing in ProfiLux. You can set the measuring interval (period between
storing two measurement values) in the range from 60 s to 3600 s. Please be aware that the shorter the measuring
interval is selected, the longer the display of the measured values will take. If necessary you can also delete all
measured values stored up to now.
The measured values of all connected sensors are stored automatically, a selection of the sensors is not possible (the
selection of the sensors for the measurement value storing in ProfiLux has no influence on the storing in ProfiLux
Touch).
3.4 Display illumination
The brightness of the background illumination of the ProfiLux Touch display can be set. It is possible to reduce the
brightness at a certain time of day (e.g. at night). When pressing the Touch, the background illumination becomes
automatically brighter for a short time.
Like for all white LEDs the live time of the LED background illumination depends on the brightness, therefore you
should adjust the display illumination only as bright as necessary, at night the brightness should be reduced.
A moderate illumination saves energy –the display needs at full brightness approximately twice of energy compared
with darkness.
3.5 Beeper
You can set if the Beeper shall be activated when touching the Touch and/or in case of an alarm.
