Power Control Expansion question

Marco · Post by **Marco** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 1:03 pm

I was wondering if the Power Control Expansion would be capable of powering the Salinity Expansion? Or would that be too much of a continuous drain?
Just trying to cut down on my DC bricks.

While looking for some information on how many amps the power control expansion puts out I found this from Roberto in another thread (http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.ph ... ion#p27933).

"The ORP/pH/Salinity CANNOT be plugged to the power module. They will loosed the galvanic isolation if you do so and they will start reading erroneously."

That pretty much answers your question.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

No Problem. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the way it is.
Are you just trying to get rid of power bricks or power brick plugged into the RA, because the Salinity module does not need to be plugged into the RA Relays.

Just the bricks in general.
