Current eFlux User manual

IMPORTANT: Please refer to additional safety warnings on last page.
- eFlux wave pumps create a tremendous amount of water flow. Do not install pump where the
strong current can harm corals or animals.
- Do not install pump too close to the sand bed where it will not stir/suck the sand.
- Pumps can also produce powerful waves in both wave and surge mode. Ensur
e your aquarium is
designed for wave pumps and ensure pumps ar
e mounted low enough not to push water out of the
aquarium.
- Magnet mounting assembly is very powerful. Be cautious not to cause injury to fingers.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Never place magnets or pump near sensitive electronics, sharp objects or attractive surfaces.
- Never run wave pump dry or out of water.
- Always place spacer between magnets when not in use.
- Always unplug with dry hands for any maintenance or service.
- eFlux wave pumps are 24VDC. Ensure one 24VDC UL® transformer is used per wave pump.
- Ensure 24VDC UL® transformer is plugged into a GFCI approved outlet with a drip loop.
- Turn controller OFF and disconnect pump from power before performing any service
- Ensure eFlux wave pumps and any accessories all have a drip loop installed before plugging into
the wave pump manifold HUB as shown below.

Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Before installation, read ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
eFlux Wave Pump Kit
Step 1. Ensure all components are unpacked, unwrap cords and ensure there is no damage.
Step 2. Choose a mounting location inside the aquarium vertical wall for your pump. Clean location
of any dirt, algae or calcium deposits.
Step 3. Install cable wrap wrapping (P) around
wave pump cable. This protects the pump
cable from triggerfish, urchins and other
animals that may damage pump cable. Place
pump prefilter (M) over pump end (optional).
Step 4. Carefully separate magnet (B) from
pump and place pump (A) into position in tank.
Attach pump to tank using magnet. Swivel
and adjust pump as desired.

INSTALLING WAVE PUMP MANIFOLD HUB AND EFLUX LED DISPLAY
Step 5. Choose a location underneath your aquarium cabinet free of excessive moisture and/or
saltwater creep. Note: if you want the eFlux wave pump LED display outside cabinet, ensure the
mounting location is 6”-10” away from where the wave pump manifold HUB will be mounted.
Step 6. Using included wood mounting screws, mount the eFlux wave pump HUB mounting bracket
(E) and eFlux pump LED display bracket (G) to stand. Slide wave pump manifold HUB (D) and pump
LED display (F) into each bracket.
Step 7. Remove silicone caps from Pump #1 DC input and
Pump #1 connection on manifold HUB. Attach caps to HUB
mounting bracket (E). Keep other silicone caps in place if not
in use.
Step 8. Choose a location for the IR Sensor (J) outside stand. The IR sensor is what receives
control and on-demand command signals from the wireless remote. Unwrap cable and attach the
IR sensor clip to your stand, attach IR sensor cable into the sensor clip. Ensure cable can reach wave
pump manifold HUB (D).

Wave/Pulse. Note that Pump 3 is designated as a circulation pump and can only be programmed
in Stream/Steady Flow Mode.

When a pump is in Surge/Gyre mode, the pump will gently ramp up and down
to the maximum flow speed based on the frequency (time) programmed. This
mode mimics back and forth water surges found in the ocean. See GYRE for
using 2 pumps and creating Gyre flow.
When a pump is in Wave/Pulse mode, the pump will turn on/off, creating a
pulsing between the maximum flow and off. This flow simulates waves
commonly found on reef crests.

Programming Guide
Step 5A: Designate pump to program (1, 2, or 3)
Press the pump you pick to program by
pressing the designated pump key on the
wireless remote.
Pump icon will illuminate on LED display.
Step 5B: Designate water flow mode
Press the FLOW mode you wish to run the pump
in by pressing the designated flow key on wireless
remote.
Flow icon will illuminate on the LED display.
Step 5C: Program the maximum FLOW
Press the increase/decrease FLOW keys to adjust
the pumps maximum flow rate until you have reached
the desired flow. FLO will illuminate on the LED display.
The RATE display will show the flow from 0-100% in
10% flow increments on LED display.
Step 5D: Designate FREQUENCY setting
If programming the pump in either SURGE or WAVE
mode, adjust the FREQUENCY setting by pressing
the increase/decrease FREQ keys on wireless remote
until the desired frequency/duration is reach.
The RATE display will show the
FREQUENCY in 10 settings
as follows:
Note: Decreasing FREQUENCY increases the time duration between min/max flow.It will appear
opposite in your aquarium (lowering frequency/duration will increase wave motion).
Your setting will automatically be saved into memory.
No additional keys need to be set to save your settings.

Programming Guide
Primary/Secondary Pump Syncing (GYRE)
A pump group consists of one Primary pump and at least one Secondary pump. The eFlux Wave
Pump manifold HUB automatically designates Pump 1 as a Primary pump. Pump 2 can
be designated as a Primary pump (controlled independently), or as a Secondary pump (runs oppo-
site of Primary pump). Running two pumps in tandem (Primary/Secondary) automatically synchro-
nizes the pumps in opposite flow modes (WAVE or SURGE), providing stronger wave flow and/or
gyre flow in your aquarium. Note: Primary/Secondary mode is not available using Stream Mode.
To sync your pumps as Primary/Secondary (GYRE Flow):
Step 1: Program Pump 1 into desired mode
Press PUMP 1 keyon wireless remote, pump 1 LED will illuminate
on the LED display.
Press WAVE or SURGE mode, mode LED will illuminate
on the LED display.
Adjust both FLOW (Flow) and FRE (Frequency) to the
desired amount using increase/decrease arrow keys.
Step 2: Program Pump 2 as Secondary Pump
Press PUMP 2 key on wireless remote, pump
2 LED will illuminate on LED display.
Press the P/S key on the wireless remote.
P/S will illuminate on the LED display when Pump 2 is
designated as a Secondary pump.
Pumps will now operate in Sync.
Step 3: Program Pump 2 as Primary Pump (Independent)
Press PUMP 2 key on wireless remote, pump 2
LED will illuminate on LED display.
Press the P/S key on the wireless remote.
P/S LED will turn off on LED display when Pump 2 is
designated as a Primary pump.
Pump can now be programmed independently of Pump 1.
NOTE: PUMP 3 is ONLY a Primary Pump (independent) and ONLY in Steady/Stream Mode.

Do not install pumps where strong currents can harm animals. Do
not install close to sand bed where it can suck/stir sand.
Pumps can produce powerful wave action in both wave and surge
modes. Ensure your aquarium is designed for wave pumps and
ensure pumps are mounted low enough not to push water out of
the aquarium tank.
Magnet assembly is VERY powerful. Be cautious not to cause
injury to fingers.
Keep magnets and all accessories out of reach of children.
Never place magnets or pump near sensitive electronics, sharp
objects or other attractive surfaces.
Do not run pumps dry or out of water.
Always place spacer between magnets when not in use.
Always unplug with dry hands for maintenance or servicing.
Turn all controllers OFF and disconnect power supply before
performing any service or maintenance.
This product MUST be powered by a UL or ETL listed power supply.
To avoid possible electric shock, power supply MUST be plugged
into a GFCI wall outlet installed by a certified electrician in
accordance with all local codes. All products must have a drip loop.
