Second PH

[roya320]

How can i see the value of my second PH probe connected to the calcium reactor. I don't find the way to add it tho the display.... it is calibrated since the a few month. i updated my apex. Now... have i to calibrate it again or is there a way to add it and see the value???

By default all new outlets and probes go in the unused tiles bin. In Fusion, click on the padlock icon then scroll up top left/right.

Also make sure the probe is enabled. From the Display Setup - pH Setup then select your probe using the arrows

thanks for you're help- how can i see which of them is the ph probe??? i find two...

[aquamanic]

Your first pH probe will be called that. The second pH2.

[roya320]

yes...but

i don't can get any value from ph2.... it is at zero.... neither i can see the diagram to the left on my dashboard on apex fushion...

how can i see this image??

[aquamanic]

Make sure pH2 is enabled. See post #2.

Make sure you've dragged the probe tile to your Dashboard. See post #2 again.

If you've done both of those things, it takes a while for probe data to get downloaded initially to Fusion.

You can check if it's working by using the Display which is real-time. You can configure it from either the Display or if you have the native interface working, the Display web page. From the Display module, navigate to System - Display Setup - Home Display - Page 1. There you can select which probes to display. Remember you have 4 pages of display so if you don't see Page 1, use the left/right arrows to switch display pages.

Al. Thanks again.i did the first 1 steps.
now jam in front of the display. the 4 pages says the same:

Clock : Enable
Probes line 1: if i enter there it says: LINE: Enable Left:temp right:ph

on the second page it says:
Line:enable
left:CAL (this is the name i created for the ph Calclium reactor)
right: Amp2_

so i didnt see any values...

Liam very sorry but i don't really understand why it is not in a diagram on my fushion or sa a value anywhere.....

hope you can help

kind regards

om the display i see the CAL but it says ZERO....

it can't be at zero....

Probes line 1: if i enter there it says: LINE: Enable Left:temp right:ph

That's good. You have 2 probe lines and each line has a left side and a right side. So on your display you've selected the temp probe and your pH probe. Make sure you select OK to save. You won't see any values in the setup menu.

Now if you exit out of the menus and look at your display you should see those probes display their values.

yes i se the CAL on my display. but it reads zero.... on my dashboard same thing... maybe have i to re calibrate it?
it was calibrated but without use for about 6 weeks due to a tank upgrade... my concern is that it reads zero.... should it? or is there any other reason for that?

[aquamanic]

And you're 100% positive that the probe named 'CAL' is enabled? Calibration isn't the problem - it might read incorrectly but it would read something.

If the 2nd pH probe is connected to the pH2/ORP port on the Apex, make sure that ORP is disabled

[roya320]

thanks again for the reply. you are right. jam very sorry! Liam very new with the apex.

Orp disabled.. NO... i dont see the control to that on the apex fushion page.

CAL enabled... the ph2 is enabled... the CAL isn't... i don't see it on the apex fushion page...

now... i neither see the TEMP,or the PH1 control... how can i get to this control??

[roya320]

ok. iam now on the classes dashboard. right now i disabled the CAL/ORP probe... the ph2 probe is enabled....

[roya320]

on my display i see now AL zero???? oh lord. i didn't understand

[roya320]

ok.. with the classic dashboard i get now the Ph2 to read the ph in the calcium reactor.... its on 8.75.... how can i know thats correct???

By calibrating it with the 10 and 7 pH calibration solutions.

[roya320]

thanks luthier... will do it.

however...my probe was dry for about 3 months... any recommendation for that case?

From what I've read here you shouldn't let it dry out. There's a water permeable bulb there that when dried will no longer function. If it will calibrate, it may work for a while.

[roya320]

thanks. its correct. i calibrated and now its working great
