Hi all,

I've just set up my first reef tank and want to add some controls. Specifically, I would like to be able to control my Kessil 360 and my Jebao RW8. I know that the Kessil requires the analog dimmer version. Can the base RA+ unit control BOTH the Kessil and the single Jebao RW8 or do I need to purchase an additional dimmer unit? Also, I'm considering replacing the single RW8 with two RW4's...if I do this, would it change the need for an additional dimmer expansion?

Many thanks,
Brandon

You can control both with the stock RA. The stock RA has 2 0-10V dimming ports that can be used. It also has 2 IO ports that can also be set to 0-5V pwm which can control the jaebo's with a modified jaebo cable. So technically you could control two rw-4 and two kessils. Since you'd only need one IO port you could still use the RA for an ATO or float switch level alarm with the remaining IO port.
