If you didn't post I could edit my spelling. Thanks a lot. :mad:

Heheh :)

Well technically the S ports are gone as well, which I have never used anyways, but that limits the user to the 5.1 powerbar. For now at least. The 5.1 powerbar is expensive, because it's expensive to make. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to make a more affordable powerbar, with more or less outlets at some point. I personally like the high quality 5.1 as I don't really want to worry about it.

Bottom line is the 4e gives customers more options. In my opinion always a good thing! Thanks for the announcement Vinny and GHL!

What exactly are the s ports for

What exactly are the s ports for

I know they were used for the old silver 4 outlet and 2 outlet powerbars. They can be used for some other stuff, but I honestly don't know what. @Ditto do you use these ports?

What exactly are the s ports for

Older style analog devices; Doser(original; grey housing), or analog 4 & 6 port power bars.

The 2's you're thinking of are probably the expansion sockets, made for high current draw items such as chillers or MH ballasts, commercial heaters etc. They have 2 power wires, a grounded and a 2 prong. 2 prong is signal only, connects to your programmed outlet. 3 prong grounded goes to supply/wall.

I'm just trying to decide between the 4 and 4e set and IDC about the salinity or the other probe. But I wasn't sure what the s port was for

For all intensive purpose, it's a legacy port. If Conductivity isn't a must for you, save some money.

@wiszmaster has you covered. I think it was more to keep the p4 backward compatible, before the pab.

So is there really anything you need the s port for that's in your opinion needed or helpful

I haven't used an S port in years... highly doubt I ever will again. Well now that you mention it, I may just due to some legacy equipment a friend recently dropped at my doorstep :P

 

[Ditto]

@WWIII I believe The S port is the legacy 12v port on the P4, I believe also they are switch relay ports.

I sent support an email to confirm :)

 

[wiszmaster]

This is from the manual for the L/S Port breakout box...

Bottom line, you won't need the s ports to run the ion director. haha! GHL also won't make us buy a new profilux either. ;)

Well this made my decision. Going with the 4e. Ordering tonight
