Getting Around
The ReefKeeper system and head unit have been designed to be as intuitive and easy to use as
possible. Navigation through the head unit can be accomplished by using the
[UP] and [DOWN]
arrow keys. The [UP] key is indicated by a triangle pointing upward and the [DOWN] key is
indicated by a triangle pointing downward. Menus can be entered and exited using the [ENTER]
and [BACK] keys receptively.
Home Screen
The home screen gives you quick and easy access to the most important information in your
system.
Example Home Screen
Date and Time
The Date and Time are displayed in the top half of the display. The date is formatted as the cur-
rent day of week followed the current day of the month. The time is formatted based on a 12
hour clock using the A (AM) and P (PM) designators.
ƒ
Please see page 12 on how to change the current date and time.
Quick Data
Quick Data can display any port (input/output) attached to the system. This allows for quick ac-
cess to all of your systems parameters without having to navigate through the menus.
A port that has been removed from the system will show up as “error”
The quick data will always say “None” when powered up as it does not store the sensor
that it was previously set to.
