The GHL Doser Maxi includes the following connection ports:
Stand Alone:
Instruction Manual GHL Doser Maxi
EN 2017-12-11 10
Slave:
3.2.1 Level Sensor Connection (Stand Alone only)
Level sensors (D2.1 SA-only) are used for monitoring and maintaining set water levels. These
sensors can be connected to the on-board Level port (Green Mini DIN socket). A single Level
port can either accept a single sensor or two separate sensors. With a PL-LY splitter cable
(not included), two level sensors can be connected to a single Level sensor port and be
independently controlled.
3.2.2 Temperature Sensor Input (Stand Alone only)
The white BNC socket is where a Digital Temperature sensor can be connected.
TIP
•Place the sensors in an area where water can constantly circulate
around them.
•To prevent algae growth, it is best to place the sensors in a dark
spot. For mounting, an open external filter would be a good place.
