Field “Storm mode settings”
(1):
Here, you can select a de-sedimentation of the reef structure
in the aquarium. The storm-like current flow is not constantly
in operation, but can be programmed for several times a day
or week (3 hours to 5 days). The “Storm mode” is based on
a fixed and precise pump cycle, which controls all four pump
outputs for five minutes according to the following program:
Pump 1 -> 20 seconds
Pump 2 -> 20 seconds
Pump 3 -> 20 seconds
Pump 4 -> 20 seconds
Pumps 1+2 → 20 seconds.
Pumps 3+4 → 20 seconds.
Pump 1 -> 20 seconds
Pumps 1+2 → 20 seconds
Pumps 1+2+3 → 20 seconds
Pumps 1+2+3+4 → 20 seconds
Position the pumps in the aquarium in such a manner, that the
“Storm mode” is not able to cause any water damages!
Field “Night mode”
(2):
In the night mode, a night mode of the pump output can
be selected using a regulator (3). If the regulator has been
pushed upwards, a time window for the night mode will also
be adjustable (4). The internal real time clock will interrupt the
pulse operation of the connected pumps during this time. The
pumps will then continue to run with minimal performance. In
the morning, after the time has expired, the selected pulse
operation of the pump will start again in the “Pulse mode” (see
page 16).
Effect of Interval mode in the aquarium:
The interval operation between low tide (
channels
1
and
2
)
and high tide (
channels
3
and
4
) enables the creation of
two annular flows in the aquarium. The reef rock is regularly
flooded from both sides, the sediments are washed away and
the invertebrates exposed to current from all directions.
Result:
The pumps at the outputs 1 and 2 will operate for 6 hours, and
vary their output between 20% and 80%.
After 6 hours the pumps 1 and 2 will be switched off, and
the pumps 3 and 4 will continue to operate and vary their
performance between 40% and 100%.
After 6 further hours, the pumps 1 and 2 will switch on again,
etc.
If the night mode function “night mode” is enabled, this will
interrupt the pulse operation for the programmed time interval,
for example, from 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., during which all
pumps will remain in the minimal performance setting, but
the high and low tide simulation “Interval mode” will continue
to function. In the morning after 9 a.m., the selected pulse
operation of the pump will start.
Example:
Channels
1
and
2
to 20% and 80%.
Channels
3
and
4
to 40% and 100%.
Interval time to about 6 hours.
Pulse frequency to 1.5 sec.
Connect a pump to each socket of the
SmartController 7000 outputs.
