PORT GROUPING

The four output ports can either be used individually under separate control or grouped 
in either pairs, or grouped all as one control block. The grouping status is determined by 
switches 1 and 2 of the smaller switch block (see page 11).  
Aqua Drum HO fixtures require two ports in order to feed all of their emitters, in which case 
ports will need to be grouped whenever HO fixtures are used. 

Note: The various operation mode settings (configured using the small switch block) affect only 
the logical control elements within the Aqua Driver 150 - the electrical output characteristics of 
each port remain the same regardless of which mode is chosen. Therefore, it will not cause any 
damage to an Aqua Drum if an incorrect setting is chosen; for example, using an RGBW setting 
when a 3000K White Aqua Drum is attached.
