IceCap Gyre User manual

BATTERY BACKUP MODE
When loss of power is detected, the Gyre Interface Module will go into backup mode. In
this mode, the control input is ignored and the module runs the pump at a xed low speed
resulting in a 35-hour run time with a fully charged battery.
The red LED will blink 2-5 times and repeat. The following table shows the relationship
between battery charge and blink pattern:
Battery Voltage Number of blinks
12 Volts or higher 5 blinks
11-12 volts 4 blinks
10-11 volts 3 blinks
9-10 volts 2 blinks
Less than 9 volts 1 blink
Below 8 volts the pump will soon quit working.

INITIAL CONNECTIONS
Unplug your Maxspect Gyre Pump’s power supply. Remove the standard Gyre controller
and re-connect the pump and power supply cable to Gyre Interface Module. Plug one
end of the included module Y cable into the side of the Gyre Interface Module and the
opposite end with the ethernet connection into an available 0-10v port on your existing
system controller.
OPERATIONAL MODE
In operational mode the Status light should always be turned off. If the controller detects
an error, such as a blocked rotor or no pump present, the status light will illuminate red
and the pump will be stopped. The red light will generally remain on for 1-2 seconds, then
it will turn off and the controller will try to restart the pump. If the error condition is gone,
the pump will continue to run. If it detects the error once more, the red light will turn on
again. The result of this is that a persistent error condition (such as a missing pump) re-
sults in a very slowly blinking red light where it is on for about 2 seconds and off for about
2 seconds (depending on the error condition).
*Aquarium system controller not included but required. This interface module is a third-party product intended to
facilitate the connection between a Maxspect GyreTM Pump and a system controller.

When rst connected, the IceCap
Interface Module will run a
calibration cycle for 10 seconds.
During this time, the pump will run at
100% speed. The calibration cycle only
runs the very rst time you connect the
interface module to a pump.
