The “AQUARIUM CONTROLLER” iselectronicandeasytouse,allowingyoutomanageallof
the electrical appliances in an aquarium. It can be used for both soft water and salt water aquari-
ums.
The main components of the system are: an electronic control unit for setting and viewing all
parametersandapowerunittowhichthevariousappliancesareconnected.
Otheraccessoriesarealsoavailableforincreasingthesystem’sperformance(e.g.readingofchemi-
calvalues,electrodes,levelsensors,modules,etc.).
Foracompleteoverviewofavailableaccessories,visitwww.aquatronica.com.
The “AQUARIUM CONTROLLER EVOLUTION”hasthefollowingmainfunctions:
•Visuallydisplaysdataonthebluegraphicscreen.
•The “password” menuallowsyoutoenableaPINsecuritycodetopreventunauthorisedpersons

programrepeatablereminders.Thesenoticesaredisplayedatthedesiredmoment,accompanied
byanacousticsignal.
•The“data readings”functionmeasuresanddisplaysthedatareadbythesensorssothevarious
devicesconnectedtothesystemcanconsequentlybeadjusted.
•The“tide effect”alternatelyactivatestwomovementpumpswithxedcyclesof6hours
15minuteseach(tidetime).
•The“wave effect”functionallowsthealternateactivationoftwoorthreemovementpumpswith
cyclesthatcanbechosenbytheuser,fromaminimumof1secondtoamaximumofabout
5minutes.
•The“summer”functionactivatestheheatingcableunderneaththegravelforxedintervalsof
5minutes/houreveninthesummerwhenitisnormallynotused.
•The“power cut”function,inthecaseinwhichpowersupplyislacking,displaysthedurationof
the interruption. If the interruption continues for more than an hour, the outputs selected in the
menu remain disabled when the power returns.

•Thankstothe“dimming”modules,itispossibletocheckandprogramanydimmingdevices
connectedtothesystem,suchasthe0-10Vmodulesforlightsanddimmingmodulesformovement
pumps.Throughtherstone,theon-offperiodsandneonlampintensitycanbeadjustedsoasto
reproducedawnandduskeffects.Thesecondoneinsteadmakesitpossibletocontrolmovement

•Thankstothe“connectivity”modules,thesystemcanbemonitoredremotely.TheEthernet
moduleallowsthedatareadtobemonitoredonawebpageandbereportedbye-mailifthere
arealarms.TheSMSmoduleinsteadqueriesthecontrolunitregardingthedataread,andsends
