Page 5
1. Overview
1.1. All ProMinent DCM2 controllers have an integral web server with an RJ-45 Ethernet connection,
ready to communicate with any internet ready computer, regardless of operating system. This
makes the ProMinent DCM2 one of the easiest aquatic controllers to remotely monitor and
control your pool or spa.
1.2. DCM2 controllers are optimized for aquatic water disinfection control applications. These
controllers use sensors to measure water quality and then control chemical feeders, UV systems,
recirculation pumps, heaters and more to maintain a safe and comfortable aquatic environment.
1.3. AC powered pumps and solenoids for ON-OFF, Time Modulated, and PID control may also be
used with pulse frequency controlled pumps.
