‘Start Overall Intensity’ and ‘End Overall Intensity’ are used to ramp your fixture up or down at
the beginning of the day to simulate sunrise or at the end to simulate sunset. Again, watch
your corals for signs of bleaching or browning and adjust intensities accordingly.

‘Ramp Time’ is the duration of the ramp in minutes. For example, begin/end intensities of 30
and 100 with a ramp time of 60 will take your fixture from 30% to 100% over a 60 minute
period.

‘Update’ to save.
Once you’ve created all your profiles, you can begin to reference them in an outlet program. Remember, profile
(and outlet) names are case-sensitive.
Basic Lighting Program:
Enter this against your ‘Hydra’ outlet created when you paired your AWM module with your light. You can
rename the outlet as you wish. Select ‘Advanced’ for the Control Type.
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 08:00 to 10:00 Then RampUp
If Time 10:00 to 16:00 Then Day
If Time 16:00 to 18:00 Then RampDn
The above program assumes you’ve created three profiles named ‘RampUp’, ‘Day’ and ‘RampDn’. Both of the
ramp profiles have a Ramp Time of 120 minutes. RampUp starts at 20% and ends at 100%, RampDn just the
opposite. The profile Day has a start and end intensity of 100 and a Ramp Time of 1 since there really isn’t any
ramp.
ADVANCED PROGRAM EXAMPLES
The following examples show you how you can apply more controller features to your lighting strategy.
Weekend Override:
In this example, we want to use the basic profiles above but we want the lights to come on 1 hour earlier on
the weekend. To do this, we’re going to use the Day of Week (DoW) command. In addition we want to turn
OFF our lights if the tank gets too hot, we want to turn them ON if the tank gets too cold (get heat any way we
can) and finally, to avoid them turning ON/OFF quickly in a power failure, put a minimum amount of time to
keep them off so they don’t get damaged:
Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Time 07:00 to 09:00 Then RampUp
If DoW -MTWTF- Then OFF
If Time 08:00 to 09:00 Then RampUP
If Time 09:00 to 16:00 Then Day
If Time 16:00 to 18:00 Then RampDn
If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF
If Temp < 76.0 Then ON
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
