What do I need to control tunze pump ?

Hi, I've ordered the RA+ analog version +wifi +salinity and waiting for them right now.

I'm planning to buy some tunze pump, I'm looking for the 6095 model right now. I'd like to know if I can plug them right away in the controler or relay box, or if I need to buy the tunze controler and plug the tunze controler in the RA ?

Also, can I control 2 pump to alternate ?

Thanks!
Antho

I don't have any Tunze pumps, but according to the product page...

Tunze Cable Attachment

This cable is all you need to start controlling your controllable Tunze pumps.

Tunze controllable pumps require analog dimming signal. Use any available analog dimming port to take full control of your pump.

You should be able to control 2 pumps with the 2 dimming ports on the RA+ and you can set them to anti-sync in the code.

Thank you for the reply.
Does anyone know if that cable is plugged into the pump itself or into a tunze controler ?

Again. I don't have a Tunze, but I would think the it plugs into the pump itself. The idea is to get rid of the Tunze controller and let the RA+ control the pump.

I think the tunze comes with the connection already:

The junction box is where you would have a DIN5 connector where you would plug the cable to control it with RA.
