The volume can be calculated by multiplying the width and length of your
tank and the distance between the pyramids of the two sensors. *
For example, a tank is 18 inches in length and 17 inches in width. If the
distance between the two sensors is 3 inches, the water change volume is
approximately 4 gallons.

18”(L) X 17” (W) X 3”(H) = 918 cubic inches (around 4 gallons)**
* The water volume might be inuenced by factors such as the speed of return pump.
Slower relling speed could reduce the variation. Please refer to the 3rd part of
Programming section.
**231 cubic inch = 1 US gallon
Length : 18”
Width : 17”
Water Change Volume Height : 3”
Calculating the Water Change Volume
1. Old water in the tank/sump is pumped out until the water
level reaches S2.
2. There is a 3-minute pause before relling new water.*
3. New water is relled into the tank/sump until the water level
reaches S1.
*Users can skip the pause by touching .

Smart AWC touch uses QST for real-time protection against any failure situation.*
QST can detect the malfunction of the sensor the controller, and the empty
reservoir to avoid the pump running dry. The controller will give an audible and
visual alert when any one of the following situations occurs.
For ATO: Any relling time is 3 times longer than the rst relling time.
For example, if the rst relling time is 10 sec, the controller will give an alert
when any relling time is over 30 sec.
For AWC: Any draining time or relling time is 3 times longer than the rst one.
For example, if the rst draining or relling time is 20 sec, the controller will give
an alert when any draining or relling time is over 60 sec.
*1. No security time control for the rst relling and draining.
2. The minimum security time for ATO relling is 10 sec, while the minimum security time for
AWC draining or relling is 20 sec.
Reset : Holding for at least 8 sec is the only way
to clear the QST memory (the rst draining time and
the rst relling time).
After reset, please unplug and replug the power cable.

1. AWC MANUAL Mode (One-time AWC)
In this mode, users have to manually start the AWC process.
1) Touch to choose AWC MANUAL mode.
2) Touch to set the relling speed if needed.
* Please refer to Relling Speed Setting.
3) Touch to start water change process.*
*When water change is done, ashes for 3 minutes with 5 beeps at last.
* Since the timer is not running during a power outage, the next water change process will be delayed.
For example, if a water change process is set to be started at 3 p.m., however, a power outage occurs
during the countdown and lasts for one hour, the next water change process will be started at 4 p.m.
1. ATO will be turned o automatically (ATO ashing ) after restoration of
power as if its previous status is on. It will be turned back on after 15 minutes
automatically. Users could also turn it back on manually.
2. When the power outage occurs during the draining or relling process, the
process will be delayed for 15 minutes after restoration of power and then resume.
3. When the power outage occurs during the countdown to water change (the
timer will pause during power outage*), the timer will retain the record and
resume after power outage.

2. AWC AUTO Mode (Periodic AWC)
Water change in AUTO mode will perform in two dierent ways when ATO is o
and on.
When ATO is o, it performs periodic AWC. Users set the timer to decide the water
change interval. * The minimum water change interval is one hour while the
maximum one is 99 days and 23 hours. Water change process will be started after
the completion of each countdown.
When ATO is on, AWC does not perform in xed intervals. Users set up timer to
decide how many times AWC is expected to perform in a period. For example, if
users would like to do water change 24 times per day, the timer is set for one hour.
Water change process will be started after the next ATO event. Also, water change
process will be done as many times in a row as it is delayed. For example, if you
have set AWC every 1 hour and the ATO tops up every 3 hours, then after 3 hours
the ATO will top up and directly afterwards the AWC will perform 3 AWC cycles.
1) Touch to choose AWC AUTO mode.
2) Touch to set the relling speed if needed.
*Please refer to Relling Speed Setting.
3) Touch again to enter DAY SETTING of timer.
4) Touch again to enter HOUR SETTING of timer.
5) Touch to start water change cycles.*
*1. It is recommended to do water change in MANUAL mode to estimate the duration of water change
process before doing water change in AUTO mode.
2. The water change interval must be longer than the duration of water change process. If the duration of
water change process is longer than the water change interval, it will trigger 0000 or 1111 alarm, and
the next countdown will not be started. It is recommended for users to extend the interval or shorten the
duration of water change process.
3. When water change is done, ashes for 3 minutes.

3. AWC Relling Speed Setting
The relling speed will select dierent lengths of relling time.The lower the speed,
the longer the relling process.
For example, one relling process takes 25 sec. At Speed 3, the pump will rell 10 sec
and pause 200 sec repeatedly until the completion of the relling.
Speed 5 no pause during the relling process
Speed 4 rell 20 sec and pause 200 sec repeatedly
Speed 3 rell 10 sec and pause 200 sec repeatedly
Speed 2 rell 5 sec and pause 200 sec repeatedly
Speed 1 rell 2 sec and pause 200 sec repeatedly

Specications
Slower relling of AWC water helps minimize temperature and
chemistry changes so as to reduce stress on aquarium
inhabitants. Also, it reduces the variation in water volume to be
changed.
