How to setup Maintenance modes with ProfiLux

About Maintenance modes

Maintenance modes allow you to temporarily turn ON / OFF Powerbar sockets, 1-10V devices and Mitras Lightbar. This feature is especially useful when you want to do maintenance on your aquarium and want to turn OFF certain equipment (pumps, skimmer, etc.) for a certain period of time. When a maintenance mode is activated, the assigned sockets and 1-10V channels will react based on the time limit you set. After that time limit expires, the assigned sockets and channels will go back to the original functions they were assigned to.

For example, if you want to clean your skimmer cup, you can use a maintenance mode to turn OFF the skimmer for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes are up, the skimmer outlet will automatically turn back ON.
