Eheim 1250 and Criticool PowerPlant PCI card

ntrsfrml · 07-23-2004, 02:14 PM

hi all, for my first WCing project i have decided to go with Eheim 1250 and Critcool PowerPlant relay, rev 2.0 for the pump setup.. while reading here and there i found out that you have to mod the Eheim 1250's power cable to make it work with the Criticool powerplant PCI relay card.. can somebody explain OR show me review/article where this has been nicely explained or discussed over?

another question.. what are the alternative's to this situation/mod?

many thanks

Cutting a small hole in your case is the easiest alternative...

WTF are you talking about that would be far too logical and convenient.

cut female end of extension cord
buy pump relay/outlet in a box assembled from me (doesn't take up a PCI slot)
buy 12v pump (though it sounds like you already have a 1250)

There you can see my criticool relay, don't worry about the temp monitor.. this pic was taken upon a tec install.

For the us folks looking at the card as you are in that picture above. It's black/green/white. You just need to strip the cord and then the wires and then plug them all in to the appropriate spaces.

For international ones I believe it's Brown/Green-Yellow Stripe/Blue
