This set consists of an ION Director and a GHL Standalone Doser 2.1, with 4 pumps, stepper motors, and power supply. With MUI sensor, reference fluids A+B 500 ml each, Flex PVC tube 8 m, USB cable, and PAB-cable 0.5 m. The ION Director® is connected to the GHL Doser 2.1 Stand Alone via the ProfiLux Aquatic Bus (PAB). With this option, the GHL Doser 2.1 Stand Alone has full control over the measuring process and behavior of the ION Director. The GHL Doser will control both its dosing pumps and the valves in the ION Director. This will allow the controller to evaluate the measurement results and calculate the values.

Available on backorder. This item ships directly from the manufacturer/supplier.

About

The ION Director is a measurement device for the automated monitoring and control of Ca, Mg, K and NO3.

The ION Director® (IOND for short) uses state-of-the-art ion-selective technology to automatically and accurately measure essential water parameters – calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and nitrate – with maximum comfort and affordable operating costs.

The precise and durable multi-ion sensor, specially developed by GHL for seawater analysis, requires no reagents, cost-effective calibration liquids are used for the automatic calibration. Inaccurate, time-consuming and costly measuring methods, such as test kits, are a thing of the past.

In addition to measurement, the ION Director® System offers many other functions:

Combine the ION Director® with the KH Director® and measure and control the KH value in addition to Ca, Mg, K, Na and NO3

How does the ION Director® work?

The IOND was designed as an accessory device and requires either a GHL Doser 2 Standalone or a ProfiLux aquarium controller (3 or 4) with GHL Doser 2 Slave to operate, see configurations below.

3 pump heads are required to perform the measurement.

To achieve the highest possible measurement accuracy, each test is performed with a freshly calibrated sensor. Two pump heads are used to convey the reference fluids required for this. After automatic calibration, a sample of the aquarium water is pumped into the ION Director®.

After the measurement has been completed, the sample water is pumped out again and collected in a separate container for later disposal.

How can the measured parameters be controlled?

Thanks to the innovative technology of the ION Director®, each parameter can be accurately measured and automatically regulated. If a parameter is too low or too high, the IOND can automatically calculate the amount by which dosages need to be changed to maintain stable values. It is therefore also suitable for different systems such as Balling® (Light) or Triton® .

Choose the optimal control mode for your aquarium and adjust it individually.

After a measurement, the deviation of the real value from the desired value (setpoint) is known. The following control modes operate on the basis of this deviation.

Add-On Control Mode

The set dosing quantities of certain dosing pumps are readjusted depending on the deviation determined, the user sets the quantity (in ml) by which the dosing quantity should change in the event of a certain deviation.

Adaptive control mode

Works similar to the Add-On control mode, but here the user determines the percentage change of the set dosing quantity for a certain deviation.

Configuration options

The ION Director® can be operated in two ways:

1.

The ION Director® is connected to the GHL Doser 2 (2.1) Standalone via the ProfiLux Aquatic Bus (PAB).

In this configuration, the GHL Doser has control over the measuring process: It controls the dosing pumps and evaluates the measuring results.

2.

The ION Director® is connected to the ProfiLux (3 or 4) and a GHL Doser 2 (2.1) Slave via the ProfiLux Aquatic Bus (PAB).

In this configuration the ProfiLux has control over the measuring process: It controls the dosing pumps in the Doser and evaluates the measuring results.

Choose the combination that suits your needs best

Whether you prefer the GHL Doser 2.1 or the P4-Slave Doser combination: thanks to the ingenious design, all devices will fit perfectly with each other no matter if stacked or positioned side-by-side. We also offer attractive sets for the ION Director® and GHL Doser combinations.

Technical specifications

The ION Director® is designed to work in conjunction with a GHL Doser 2 (2.1) Standalone or a ProfiLux® Aquarium Controller 3 or 4 with a Doser 2 (2.1) Slave for operation.
