ReefKeeper Lite NET:  Connection Example

There is no required order when connecting a ReefKeeper Lite system.

General Mounting

It is important that electronic equipment never be mounted on the ground or the bottom of a 
cabinet.  All Digital Aquatics modules should be mounted as high as conditions will allow.  Also, 
all bus cables, probe wires, and power cords should use proper drip loops.  

Correct Installation w/ Drip Loop

Incorrect Installation w/o Drop Loop

Water damage is not covered by product warranties and is the leading cause of device failure.  It 
is the responsibility of the user to insure safe installation practices are followed.

Mounting the RKL Head unit

Mount the head unit in a location where it can be easily accessed for daily operation.  While the 
face of the head unit is splash resistant, proper ventilation is important.

Getting Started

Mounting the PC4

Mount the PC4 in a well ventilated location. Also, make sure it can be accessed in the event main-
tenance must be done, such as a fi rmware upgrade.  

PC4s should never be mounted on the fl oor or any other surface where water can pool.  

Mounting the SL1 

(Included with the RKL PLUS and RKL NET package)

Mount the SL1 in a well ventilated location; close enough to the tank or sump so that all probe 
wires can reach their mounting locations. Also, make sure it can be accessed in the event mainte-
nance must be done, such as a fi rmware upgrade.

Mounting the NET 

(Included with the RKL NET package)

Mount the NET in a well ventilated location.  Please be aware that the module must be within 
wiring distance of a network connection.  Also, make sure it can be accessed in the event mainte-
nance must be done, such as a fi rmware upgrade.

Bus Cable Routing

It is important to make sure bus cables are routed in a way that will keep them safe. Make sure 
they cannot get pinched or crimped. Damaging a bus cable can cause system wide failure.

It is also important to keep bus cables clear of lighting ballasts and wiring. Bus cables can pick up 
electronic noise and in extreme cases this noise can cause interference to the system.
