The “e” in ProfiLux 4e stands for essential.
The ProfiLux 4e features the same high degree of quality and reliability as the flagship ProfiLux 4.
With ProfiLux 4e, users who do not – or not immediately – need all the features of ProfiLux 4 are offered a more affordable alternative to ProfiLux 4 without sacrificing the essential.
In comparison to ProfiLux 4, ProfiLux 4e has in the basic configuration one switchable pH/ORP input instead of two and no conductivity input, and in addition the less required S ports (digital outputs / connection for classicpowerbars) have been removed. Otherwise ProfiLux 4e is identical to ProfiLux 4.
An upgrade to the full functionality of ProfiLux 4 is possible at any time later, either by inserting expansion cards or connecting an expansion box.
The ProfiLux® aquarium controller offers everything the ambitious aquarist needs to achieve success.
From form to function, the ProfiLux 4/4e is well-equipped to manage important tasks such as lighting control, water parameter measurement/control, level control, flow measurement, pump control, and much more. Fitted with the most on-board connections available, the ProfiLux 4/4e also includes integrated modules for measuring Conductance (adjustable: fresh or saltwater), Temperature, pH, and Redox. Connections for level sensors, flow sensores, leakage sensors, and 1-10V interfaces are also included.
Built-in WiFi and USB connections ensure optimal connectivity to keep you well informed about the status of your aquarium via web interface, app, e-mail, and myGHL cloud service.
The ProfiLux® aquarium controller is globally recognized for its outstanding accuracy and reliability.

ProfiLux OS – Maximum Safety and Stability
ProfiLux aquarium controllers run with GHL’s very own unique operating system, ProfiLuxOS. This operating system has been specially developed to conduct control tasks for aquariums.
Most operating systems have been designed and optimized for specific applications which, in our opinion, cannot provide the level of safety and performance required to control your valuable aquarium, pond, or terrarium.
ProfiLux OS was built from the ground up for the sole purpose of maintaining maximum safety FOR aquariums. Our custom OS is robust, flexible, and future-proof, offering maximum operational security and optimal efficiency.
Seamless Communication – Through PAB
Our communication interface features an integrated CAN-BUS system, ProfiLux Aquatic Bus PAB which provides seamless communication between PAB-devices. As such, a complete secure network can be built up. Devices connected in this way can communicate with each other in a particularly safe and interference-free manner – even over long distances (100 m or 300 ft).
