This Ph probe was actually in my tank since I originally set my p4 up. It seemed to always be consistent until I decided to redo my whole p4 thing and try to connect. at that point I just had two probes working well the temp and the ph. I never set the red0x up until recently (which I will reset now) because I lost the null plug that came in my box. I luckily have been acclimating the 50ms liquid to setup my salinity probe since last night. I will do that next after Redox. I just switched the ph probe to the port you mentioned. i had it in the other one which was redox/Ph.The PH should not be flipping out, confirm you have it plugged into which port on the back of the P4, and that it is securely plugged in. Also if you place it in the solution does it read right and only starts fluctuating when in the tank? Mine is plugged into the one above the Aux Port on my P4.
When you pulled the caps off the PH probe was there still water within them?
I do have the null plug currently and will attempt to do that one next. I feel this time going through the PH it will be more successful. I am unsure if it is taking longer or what but it seems to be doing something differently. Lets hope this will fix my ph probe-lemDo you have the null plug to do the redox now? It is needed to do it and will not calibrate correctly.
Also if you plugged the PH into the other port like mine make sure you calibrate or again
The countdown freaked me out the first time even on the null plug I figure it running something in the background to make sure it knows what null is hehe.
Wohoo! my ph is actually accurate now. It is still finalizing where it wants to be but it is not fluctuating like before. I guess the port I had it in was the problem. I also copied your settings pretty closely.. dont mind meDo you have the null plug to do the redox now? It is needed to do it and will not calibrate correctly.

So I am confused here. I start off with the probe not attached correct? I connect the null plug at first then when it beeps and says to put the probe in the liquid, is the probe connected to the profilux now? or is it still unconnected and then i connect it after it beeps? Sorry just is not making sense to me that I do not connect the probe....Then Lets Calibrate the Redox
From the P4
- Press Any key on the P4, and use the arrow down button and highlight Sensor Setting and press the check mark
- Using the Arrow Key on the P4 highlight the Probe you wish to Calibrate and press the check mark mine was Redox 1
- Using the arrow keys scroll down the list and highlight Calibration and press the check mark
- The display updates on the P4 and is now asking you for to set the calibration Tolerance make sure it is <1> mine was one to begin with and press the check mark
- The display updates on the P4 and is now asking you for the first Tolerance level, I set mine to 220.00 using and press the check mark (it defaulted to this)(To adjust the value use the arrow keys to move left and right and up and down to change the value)
- Insert Null Plug
- Beep Sound
- This display updates on the P4 and is now asking you for the asking you to put the probe now in the 220.00 solution and press the check mark
- Beep Sound
- This display updates on the P4 and is now asking you Save now press the left arrow key to highlight Yes (Box will show around it) and press the check mark.
Below is a sample of mine when I did the config initially.
I feel so silly holding a salinity probe in the air. Just thought you’d laughWhooohoo you now have orp
On the forums here are some great topics about redox/orp.
Also a great write up a bit long but explains it well

Wait is kg/l the same salinity thing on my refractometer? Or do I have to convert from there as well. The link you posted makes a lot of sense and I will save it for sure. I am currently sitting at around 1.014 and thats pretty far from what I expected. perhaps it will level itself out.. I also just topped off with ro/di so that could be playing a factor. I will continue to monitor it. I also went back to your post and made sure to turn on measurement recording every 15 minutes on my probes.Is the reading going up? When you first put it in it will read low and and adjust to the tank mine took about a day.
The conversion chart

Mine reads between 52-53. Do not forget you can change the way it is displayed by clicking on the display drop down value lower value on the right hand column and choose kg/l
with the steps.
This is what I see.. nothing else happens it either stops loading goes blank. Is this cause access point is off?Client access is to allow the device to connect to wireless network for a client to connect with. The unit while in client mode acts just like your phone
Accesspoint is you are going to connect to the device which is it own wireless network or host. I never use this, but for people who do not have wireless in there homes or want the ability to connect to the device itself without using a exiting wireless network. The device itself is now a wireless mode like a hotspot. I would leave it off
The gcc app allows you to monitor and config the device from your phone or tablet. I use the app when off network to monitor my tank.
Are you saying when you connect to the P4 at 192.168.1.98 you get a blank screen?
