IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
B) DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance
to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) CAUTION: If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and the retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. (Non-
immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank or the
fountain to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water
from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip-loop” shown in the
Figure A should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip-loop” is the part of the
cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in
contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reectors, lamp bulbs and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
F) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices of the appliance.
J) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts
than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over,
pulled, or placed where the appliance plug and extension cord plug will be exposed to water.
K) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than other). As a safety feature, this plug will t in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do no attempt to defeat this safety
feature. EXCEPTION: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment
plug.

Power Supply & Connecting Units
The sentia™dose Primary Control Unit includes a Power Adaptor and Plugs Set. The Plugs Set includes plugs
matching electrical outlets for North American, EU, UK and Australia/New Zealand locales or setups. To prepare
the Power Adapter for use, slide the appropriate Plug onto the Plug Adaptor rmly - the Plug should lock into place
securely. The Power Adapter supplies power to the the Primary Control Unit and any Secondary Units attached to
the Primary Control Unit.
Always make certain the Power Adapter is unplugged before connecting or disconnecting any Primary
Control Unit or Secondary Units in sequence.
To connect any unit in sequence simply remove the corresponding side plates of the units being connected (Figure
1.A) and slide the unit being connected to the right down onto the unit on the left (Figure 1.B). Replace all side
covers to any exposed sides once connections are complete.
Primary Control Units and Secondary Units can be connnected in any sequence or order. The connected units
sequence will always appear in the app list from left to right in a top-to-bottom arrangement with the left unit being
at the top of the list.
Once all units being used are connected in sequence and side covers are in place, the Power Adpator can be
plugged into any unit in the sequence. All units should have lights illuminate just above the Pump Head(s). A white
colored circle should be lit to the right above the Pump Head(s). A white WiFi emblem should show to the left above
the Pump Head on Primary Control Units. A white Link emblem should blink to the left on any Secondary Units - the
light(s) will blink in succession for any sequence of Secondary Units.
Figure 1.A Figure 1.B

Using the Included Mounting Bracket
Each sentia™dose Primary Control Unit and/or Secondary Unit includes a mounting bracket for optionally securing
the Unit(s) as desired. The included Mounting Plate can be secured with the included Screws or the included
Adhesive Strips. The Mounting Plates for any number of Units in sequence interlock to neighboring Units. Mounting
Plates should be secured in sequence to the mounting location. Once secured, the entire group of Units can be
attached to the line of Mounting Plates.
Setting Up Doser Pump Heads and Tubing
Placement of the sentia™dose Primary Control Unit and/or connected Secondary Unit(s) is unique to each user’s
circumstance. In general, the system should be set up for ease of access to any supplements being dosed while
being within a comfortable proximity to the aquarium or sump being dosed. Any length of tubing distance is
generally feasible given proper calibration of the solution being dosed.
Additionally, the Pump Head can be adjusted to 8 different positions by turning the Pump Head gently clockwise
to unlock its position. The Pump Head can then be turned to the various other positions and then locked back
into place by lowering it into the chosen position and turning it counter clockwise. This allows the Unit(s) to be
positioned horizontally, vertically, diagonally, etc. to facilitate the best position for each user’s application. All
sentia™dose Primary Control Units and Secondary Units come with the Pump Head already assembled.
Connect a Tubing Connector to each end of the Pump Head tubing. When facing the Pump Head directly the ow
through the doser is in through the Right Tube and out through the Left Tube. Approximately 1 meter of Tubing is
included with each Primary Control Unit and Secondary Unit. Install the appropriate length of tubing required from
the supplement reservoir or bottle to the inow side (Right Tube when facing Unit) of a unit making certain that
the length of tubing extends all the way to the bottom of the resevoir easily. Install the appropriate length of tubing
required from the Primary Control Unit and/or connected Secondary Unit outow side (Left Tube when facing Unit)
to the aquarium or sump being dosed. Make certain the line is secure and that the output end of the line is above
the water line. Additional tubing is available in 3 meter segments as an accessory from your dealer.
Colored Rings for Pump Heads are intended to coordinate with the Colored Clip for each tube run to avoid confusion
when using multiple dosers. The Pump Head Colored Ring can be removed by lightly pulling up at the indention
where the Colored Ring meets the Pump Head. Simply replace the Colored Ring as desired and press down on the
Colored Ring to secure it to the Pump Head. A corresponding Colored Clip can then be installed on the end of the
output line at the aquarium or sump being dosed.

The sentia™App
To get the most out of sentia™devices, download the sentia™app for your smart phone. The sentia™app is quite
intuitive, simple to use, and is an integral component of the sentia™system. Once the app is downloaded and
opened the user is guided through the easy process of “Registration”. Registration sets up usernames, passwords,
communication preferences, etc. for future log in into the app. You will also be guided to set up a “Prole” in the app
where you will also set time zone and language preferences. Once a prole is built you will be ready to setup “My
Aquariums”.
If you haven’t done so, you can download the app using the appropriate QR code
Setting Up Aquariums in the App
Touch the “+” icon to add an aquarium. Any number of aquariums can be setup to manage various devices.
Fill in appropriate information about the aquarium or system upon which the device(s) will be operating. A “Photo”
of the aquarium can be added easily.
Make sure to specify the proper unit of volume being used; Liters or [US or Imperial] Gallons. This is critical to the
proper function of the system and to avoid improper dosing.
It is essential to dene not only the “Aquarium Size” (listed volume) but most importantly the “Aquarium Volume”
(actual amount of water in the system). The app calculates dosing based on the volume of water it is dosing - not
the aquarium size. For example, a 20 US gallon reef style aquarium may have a volume of only 15 US gallons
once displacement of rock, décor, etc is taken into consideration. For this reason, it is important to estimate the
actual volume of water being dosed as closely as possible. Adjustments can always be made later to either dosing
regimen or “Aquarium Volume” as necessary.
Once the “Save” is touched the aquarium is setup. To return to the aquarium settings window simply touch the
aquarium under “My Aquariums” and touch the “•••” menu icon at the top right of the screen. Select “Aquarium
Settings”. You will see the ability to delete any aquarium(s) in this same pop up. To delete an aquarium, all
associated devices must rst be deleted from the selected aquarium.
Android iOS

Adding sentia™ Devices to the App
Once an aquarium is setup under “My Aquariums”, any number of devices can be added to the aquarium. Simply tap
on the aquarium in the “My Aquariums” list and a screen specic to that aquarium will open. Now tap the “+” icon
to add doser(s). Simply follow the “Setup” instructions. Once WiFi is connected the app will bring you back to the
specic aquarium screen and will show all connected devices. Click on any device to begin setup of that device.
Device Setup
Device setup is easily accomplished by following the prompts from the app.
Supplement
You will rst dene the supplement to be run in the doser as either a Seachem/aquavitro product or not. If “Yes”
you can scan the barcode from the product label to enter that supplement. If your camera has diculty scanning
the barcode, the barcode can be typed in manually. If your supplement is not a compatible Seachem or aquavittro
product, then you can simply enter the supplement name for reference.
Ring Color
Choose a Ring Color to correspond to the dosing head or any color of your choosing. Once the Ring Color is chosen,
the Ring Light on the doser itself will change to that color. In the event that no color is desired, choose black and the
light on the doser will remain off.
Reservoir Levels
If you used a barcode to enter the supplement, the original container volume will be automatically entered as the
reservoir volume. However, any container of your choosing can be used as the reservoir simply by entering the
volume in mL. A conversion chart is supplied to help with this calculation. Notications for “Empty Reservoir Alerts”
or “Low Reservoir Alerts” can be turned on or remain off. Minimum level of the Reservoir Alert can be assigned.
Water Test Reminders
It is important to test water parameters regularly to keep any aquarium environment and dosing regimen at peak
performance. A testing schedule can be customized as desired and push notication can be provided.
Speed and Calibration
Speed refers to the rate at which the pump doses or spins. There are 3 speeds to choose from: Slow, Medium and
Fast. It is important to note that any change to speed requires recalibration to ensure accuracy in dosing.
Follow the prompts to calibrate the dosing for the specic supplement being used to account for density, viscosity,
length of tubing, etc.

Do not calibrate with a liquid other than the supplement to be used to ensure proper calibration.
The tubing must rst be completely lled from the reservior all the way the point of output using the desired
supplement before calibration.
1. Select “Start” under “Tap Start to ll the line” when asked “Is the line full?”. Tap “Start” as many times as is
needed to completely ll the line. To avoid unintentional dosing, it is recommended that the line empty into a
separate container, not the aquarium system, when lling the line.
2. Once the line is lled, take the included calibration tube (cap off) and hold it at the end of the line to capture
all of the supplement as it comes out of the line.
3. Tap the “Calibrate” button and the pump will run for a specic amount of time.
4. Once completed, enter the amount of the supplement in the calibration tube.
Schedule
For Seachem/aquavitro Supplements:
Touching on the menu bars on the right side of the space under “Total Daily Dose for Selected Days” brings up
options for Suggested Dose and Calculated Dose.
Suggested Dose follows the labeling directions for the given Aquarium Volume entered previously. This is a great
starting point for any dosing regimen as it is simply following the supplement directions. Adjustments can be made
as necessary as time goes on.
Calculated Dose allows the entry of Measured Level from testing and compares it to the Desired Level to provide
a dose that will bring the level in the aquarium up to the Desired Level. If the Measured Level is higher than the
Desired Level it will ask you to retest in 48 hours to allow levels to drop off in the aquarium.
To build a custom dosing schedule, enter the desired amount, in mL, in the box under “Total Daily Dose for Selected
Days”. Specify the number of doses per day desired in “Doses per Day”. The amount of “Unit Dose” will update
based on “Total Daily Dose” and “Doses per Day” - this is the amount that will be added for each dose individual
dose. If the supplement should be dosed in a specic time of day or night, enter the time frame for the dosing to
occur. If the supplement should be dosed in a specic day interval, enter the day interval desired for the dosing to
occur. If the supplement should be dosed in on specic days of the week, enter the days of the week desired for the
dosing to occur.
For non-Seachem/aquavitro Supplements:
To build a custom dosing schedule, enter the desired amount, in mL, in the box under “Total Daily Dose for Selected
Days”. Specify the number of doses per day desired in “Doses per Day”.
The amount of “Unit Dose” will update based on “Total Daily Dose” and “Doses per Day”; this is the amount that will
be added for each dose individual dose.

If the supplement should be dosed in a specic time of day or night, enter the time frame for the dosing to occur. If
the supplement should be dosed in a specic day interval, enter the day interval desired for the dosing to occur. If
the supplement should be dosed in on specic days of the week, enter the days of the week desired for the dosing
to occur.
For Any Supplements:
Once a dosing schedule of any type is saved, returning to the schedule from the dashboard allows the user two
more options for adjusting the dosing regimen; “Quick Adjust” and “Adaptive Dose”. “
Quick Adjust” simply allows for quick addition or subtraction to the dosing schedule by percentage. For example a
dosing total can be reduced quickly and easily by 10% if required and conversly increased as necessary. Because it
is prudent to adjust parameters slowly, the maximum adjustment in either direction is limited to +/-15% as a safety.
“Adaptive Dose” offers an unparalleled means of ne tuning a dosing regimen over time. It is highly advisable to
run a dosing schedule for a week at minimum for best results in using “Adaptive Dose”. Once a schedule is run
with a supplement for at least a week, perform a test for the parameter for which the supplement is being dosed.
For example, test calcium levels for a supplment that primarily doses calcium. Under “Adaptive Dose” enter the
“Measured Level” from the test. Use the default already entered or enter your own “Desired Level” and touch the
“Calculate” button.
The app will ask you to move through 3 important steps.
1. If the “Measured Level” is below the “Desired Level”, a dose will be recommended over 48 hours to move
the level up to the desired level safely. If the “Measured Level” is above the “Desired Level”, it will be
recommended to suspend dosing over 48 hours to allow the level to drop toward the “Desired Level” safely
2. A recommendation will be made for a new schedule based on the difference in the “Measured Level” and the
“Desired Level” and the previous dosing schedule success/failure.
3. A recommendation will be made to setup a testing reminder to provide results to input back into the
“Adaptive Dose” in a week.
Each of these steps allows for opting out of “Adaptive Dose”.
Utilizing all 3 steps provides for the ultimate in continued renement of a dosing regimen of any supplement to
achieve the best results with a doser on an aquarium. As you repeat the “Adaptive Dose” the doser hones in on the
best regimen for that specic supplement for your specic aquarium.
After entering a schedule of any type you are brought to the doser’s dashboard.

Notes on Dosing Schedules
1. As a general rule, supplement dosing should be done in small amounts more often rather than larger
amounts infrequently.This maintains an overall more stable environement chemically in aquariums.
2. Some supplements will preload with time scheduling suited for that particular element.For instance, some
elements for planted aquariums are better suited to be dosed at night while others are better dosed in the
daylight phase to support photosynthesis.
3. If a single dose at a specied time is desired, set the start and end time at least 1 minute apart. For example,
to dose at 9:00 AM set Start Time to 9:00 AM and End Time to 9:01 AM.
The Dashboard
The dashoard provides a clear overview of any one doser’s overall settings. The supplement being dosed by the
doser is displayed in the heading. “Upcoming Activity” lists the basics of the schedule currently being run. Reservoir
levels are displayed and the amount of remaining days based on the current schedule being run is calculated and
displayed. Calibration Volume is displayed. Pump Speed is displayed. All programmed schedules are displayed
as “My Schedules”. Schedules can easily be added by touching the “+” icon and saving the newly programmed
schedule. Any schedule can be turned on or off, edited, or deleted in the dashboard. Any active Alerts are displayed
at the bottom of the dashboard.
In upper right corner a menu icon bring up a menu that allows for editing Device Settings, ID-ing the device,
performing a simple accruate instant dose, Resetting the Device and Deleting the Device. Device Settings allows
one to edit all of the settings entered when the device was originally setup. Additionally, there is an option to move
the device from one aquarium to another provided there is another aquarium set up with an established Aquarium
Volume (with the caveat that the tubing is run to the other aquarium as well). This is a unique feature that allows a
single sequence of Primary and Secondary Units to separately dose many different aquariums from within the same
app.
Resetting the WiFi Conguration on the Primary Doser
In the event of a WiFi change or failure, all sentia dosers will merely follow the last programing.
In order to reset the WiFi conguration,
1. Disconnect the power adapter.
