Rkl lite help

Great buy, you won't regret it as long as you're willing to take the time to learn them. Does the display say that? I've never had to update the firmware or hook either up to my computer and they work perfectly well. I have one older model and one brand new model. They changed the interface slightly about 2 years ago.
Here's what I do with my RKL (let me know if you want instructions on how to set it up):
-monitor temperature with the temperature probe and have an alarm set if the temperature goes below 72 and above 80F
-Turn off the heater if the temperature goes above 80F
-Control my 3 part dosing (Mg, Ca, KH); program them as if they were "lights"
-Monitor pH and have an alarm set below 7.8 and above 8.6

Manuals are on line for each module and the control head. BRS has a pretty good video about adding an RKL and they go over several options, settings, alarms, and controls. The basic stuff is easy and can be programmed from the control head. I set one up for simple heater, lights, and pump control. However, it is nice to sit back and do it from your laptop.
PH is monitored by the SL1 module which has a BNC for both PH and ORP.
I also don't think there is anything that says you need to update the firmware on each item unless you are having a problem or if you know of some featuer that is part of a new firmware. As i recall, they recommend that you connect each module to the SID one at a time to complete each update seperately.
