•Mount the Telereef Controller!
!
Telereef Controller comes together with one pair of Self-Stick
Reclosable Fasteners, you can use it to mount Telereef Controller
somewhere on aquarium cabinet. Clean both surfaces before stick it
on.
!
This reclosable fasteners is very strong, you may consider to cut it
into two small pieces and stick them on two corners on the back of
Telereef Controller for easy removing.
!
•Obtain IP Address and set up system time!
!
Because of simplified no button design, the only way to set up Telereef Controller is
through the Telereef’s Web Interface. First thing to do is find out how to connect to
Telereef Controller through the network connection.
!
1. Connect Telereef’s LAN port to one of the LAN ports on your router. !
(Telereef Controller can be connected wirelessly by using a small Traveller Nano
Router, please refer to Wireless Connection section for details.)
2. Connect Telereef’s DC port to a 12V 2A DC power adapter.
!
3. After connected DC power the LCD backlight will light up, and firmware version will
be displayed, now Telereef Controller is trying to obtains an IP address from the
router, the IP address will be displayed after a few seconds, please write down this
IP address for future use.!
!!
!!
•Understand Web Interface and Setup System Time/Date!
"
There are two main pages on Telereef’s Web Interface, they are Home page and Setup
page. Home page is used to present sensors information, socket status, socket manual
on/off, wireless dosing pump status, manual dosing control, usage statistic, etc.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
4

Telereef Controller - User Manual V.140313!
Push Setup button at the bottom of Home page will move to Setup page. In Setup page
you can set up timers, define socket name, pair wireless dosing pump, set up system
preference, etc.!
!

button and the current date and time will be updated.!
!
•Setup an internal fixed IP address and new password!
"
From the previous step, the IP address obtained from the router is a dynamic IP address,
which means that it may be changed or occupied by other computer from time to time,
there will be a chance you may be unable to connect to Telereef Controller with the same
IP address later, so it is better to use a fixed IP address instead.
!
1. Check the DHCP range of the router, DHCP range means a
range of IP address that the router assigns automatically; for
example 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.50. Usually the DHCP
range can be found inside router’s setup panel. Please refer to
the router user manual for details.
2. Choose an IP address which is outside the DHCP range, for
example 192.168.0.101
3. Go to System Settings page, change the field “IP address”
with the chosen IP Address on step #2, change “Subnet Mask”
if necessary, default is 255.255.255.0, change the “Gateway”
to router’s LAN IP address if it is not correct.
4. Change the “User Name” to the login name you preferred and
change the “Password” to a new password.
5. Push “Save” button to save the settings.
!
If you forgot the password or a wrong IP address has been used then you may not able
to connect to Telereef Controller any more, the only way to fix it is perform a system reset

!
•Relay Module & Socket Panels!
"
Two 4-Channel relay modules can be connected to Telereef
Controller through P1 and P2 port, totally eight relays can
be use to control eight electrical devices. Most 5V 4-
Channel relay modules in the market which is compatible
with Arduino are also compatible with Telereef Controller.
There is 5V output from P1 and P2 port which can supply
relay module without external power supply.!
!
Normally, this kind of relay module is good and safety for
low voltage DC devices, however if you are going to
connect high voltage AC or high power devices should be careful, such as chiller, heater,
etc. You should have enough knowledge, and related qualification to connect relay
module to AC powered device and should be very careful when connecting, good
isolated is also very important; otherwise, serious electrical shock or fire may
occur. Make sure the relay has enough rating to controls the device."
"
You can connect Telereef Controller to Relays/Sockets module with a signal cables. You
can purchase this cable from our reseller, or make it by yourself easily. Most Relay
Modules in the market have a six pins connector which is compatible with KF2510 plug,
just install six pins KF2510 plug on both ends of the cable, one end is plug into P1 or P2
port, the other end is into the relay module. !
!
The color coding of the signal cable is!
!
The signal cable should be keep away from AC line to prevent interference.
!
Some mechanical relays may not go back to off state after turned on for a long
period of time continually, you should beware of this especially if you use it to
control aquarium temperature or dosing device. "
"
Once your socket panel is ready, next step is setup socket name!
!
1. Go to Setup page, scroll down to Socket Name Settings and push Edit button.
2. Input the Name of the device connected, Rating/Usage and Unit.

•Temperature controller for chiller and heater!
"
Each temperature sensor which connected to Telereef Controller can be set up to
controls it's own cooling and heating devices, the way to set up is defining what
temperature to turn on the device and what temperature to turn off the device. !
!
For example, if the target water temperature is 26°C, the fluctuate allowance is +/- 0.2°C,
turn on temperature of cooling device will be 26.2°C, turn off temperature of cooling
device will be 26°C and turn on temperature of heating device will be 25.8°C, turn off
temperature of heating device will be 26°C!
!
If T1 Sensor will be use and Socket 2 is connecting to cooling device and Socket 3 is
connecting to heating device, go to Setup page, scroll down to Temperature Settings,
push Edit button and input the following settings!
!
!
Make sure the temperature ranges of cooling device and heating device are not overlap
each other. In case the on and off is too often, consider to use a bigger fluctuate
allowance (eg. +/- 0.3 or +/- 0.4)
!
You can also use Temperature Setting Wizard to setup all the ranges for you, simply
push “Wizard” button on Temperature Settings page, input the target temperature of each
Temperature Sensor, the system will calculates the Cooling range, Heating range as well
as Alert range according to default +/- 0.2°C fluctuation.!
!
On chiller and heater usually have their own temperature controllers, make sure set the
temperature on them to one or two degree celsius more (or less) than the target
temperature set on Telereef Controller. If target temperature on Telereef Controller is
26°C, set chiller’s own temperature to 28°C and heater’s own temperature to 24°C.
Because this temperature range is larger than the temperature range that Telereef
Controller activates the chiller and heater, so it will not affect the normal operation of
Telereef Controller, it also works as secondary emergency cut off in case the relay
module is out of order or wrong setting is applied on Telereef Controller.
!
•pH controller!
"
The procedure used to setup pH controller is similar as setup temperature controller. For
example, controlling CO2 dosage in a calcium reactor, target internal pH value is 6.5,
fluctuate allowance is +/- 0.2, Socket 4 connected to the CO2 valve, go to Setup page,

scroll down to pH Sensor Settings, push Edit button and input the following settings!
!
We don’t recommend to control aquarium pH by using this function, using pH controller
to add additives to aquarium is high risk since you never know how much amount of
additives will be added to the aquarium. According to the pH value and create a dosing
pump timer schedule for additive is recommended.!
!
•Timers!
"
There are six different kinds of timer can be set up in Telereef Controller!
!
a. Regular Timer : Turn on and turn off specific socket in specific time range, weekly
schedule can also be applied.
b. Dimming Timer: Change dimming channels output percentage at specific time. If
“Stop” field also be defined, a slow dimming effect will be applied. Weekly schedule
can also be applied.!
!
For example, if initial output is 0% and the following is defined!
!
means both dimming channels will started to slow increasing from 0% at 8am and
reached to White Channel 80%, Blue Channel 100% at 9am!
!
Another example, if initial output is 100%!
!
means both dimming channels started to slow decreasing from 100% at 6pm and
reached to White Channel 0% and Blue Channel 10% at 8pm, after 8pm only 10%
Blue light is remained, White light is turned off.!
!
c. Interval Timer : Within a time range, turn on specific socket for specific duration
and turn off specific interval time period. Weekly schedule can also be applied. This
kind of timer is useful for wave making pump or traditional dosing pump.!

!
For example, if you connected a traditional dosing pump (not Telereef WDP) on S5,
the dosing pump has been adjusted a dosing speed at 1ml/s, the target dosage of
additive is 12 ml per day, the setting of this Interval Timer will be like this!
!
!
Start and Stop both empty means the schedule is effective 24 hours, turn on dosing
pump for 1 sec then turn off 1 hour 59 min 59 sec, that means every two hours runs
1 sec, every 24 hours totally runs 12 sec, equal to 12 ml.!
!
d. Recovery Timer : This timer has two functions, restore a manually switched socket
to on or off state after a preset duration. If “Allow On Dur” (ie. Allow turn on duration)
is set, the socket will restore to off state. If “Allow Off Dur” (ie. Allow turn off
duration) is set, the socket will restore to on state.!
For example, if “Allow On Dur” is set to “00:15:00”, the related socket will turn off by
default, if the socket manually turn on by user, it will be turn off automatically after
15 mins. This timer can be use on Cabinet light, night time observation light, etc.!
!
Another example. If “Allow Off Dur” is set to 00:15:00, the related socket will turn on
by default when system started up, if the socket manually turn off by user, it will be
turn on automatically after 15 mins. This timer can be use on skimmer, turn off the
skimmer for cleaning and automatically turn on after finished. This timer also can be
use as a manual Feeding Timer, turn off wave pump manually and turn on
automatically after feeding is done (see below example).!
e. WDP Dosing Timer : This dosing timer specially designed for Telereef Wireless
Dosing Pump. Telereef Controller calculates and separates the whole dosage of
additive into small portions and doses within the time range. If both Start and Stop
are empty, it is a 24 hours schedule.!
!
The above example means dose 200ml Kalkwasser on Pump1 from 8pm at night
until 8am next morning (12 hours).!

•FTP IP Addr - is the IP Address of your FTP Server, if the FTP Server is installed on
same LAN with Telereef Controller, you can input the internal IP Address of that FTP
Server. If the FTP Server is installed on outside network, you need to input the internet
IP Address of that FTP Server.!
•FTP User - Login user name of the FTP Account!
•FTP Password - Login password of the FTP Account!
•FTP Folder - The folder name which will be used to store the log files!
!
After setup FTP Server, Telereef Controller will upload the newest log file every night at
0:00am, if you confirmed the upload is working properly, you may wish to let Telereef
Controller delete the oldest log automatically. There is an option “Keep Logs: xx Days”
that tell Telereef Controller keeps how many days of log files inside it’s Micro SD card.
For example, 10 Days means keep only ten days logs inside the Micro SD card, the
oldest one will be deleted at 0:00am every night.!
!
!
•Log format!
!
The log file records detail information about the aquarium every minute included sensor
values, sockets status and sockets usage, this log file is in simple CSV text format that
can be easily open by any text editor or import to the spreadsheet program and named
with the date format. Upcoming Telereef iOS App also uses the data in log file to draws
graph for each sensor.!

•Aquarium live image (IP Cam)"
!
The web interface of Telereef Controller can put the live
aquarium still image on Home page, so you can see the
change after made an instruction.!
!
To put the still image on Home page, an IP Cam with the
image upload feature and a simple web server is needed.
Most IP Cam in market provides the image upload feature,
please refer to IP Cam manual for details. For web server,
you can register free web hosting service from the web host
provider or build your own web server, or use a NAS with web server feature. After an
image is uploaded to the web server, you can see it on internet browser by inputting the

Telereef Controller - User Manual V.140313!
image URL, if you can see the image that means the configuration is correct, next step is
input this URL into Telereef Controller.!
!
Login to Telereef Web Interface from Smart Phone and go to Setup page, scroll
download to “More” section near the bottom of Setup page push “System” button.!
!
Inside the System Setting page, you will find a setting "Image URL," input the URL, and
save the settings, the live image will be display on Home page.!
!
!
•Trusted IP!
!
When you at home or at somewhere you feel secure
enough, you may want to access Telereef Controller without
password login. Telereef Controller can remember up to ten
trusted IP Addresses which allow no password access to
web interface.!
!
For example, when you are at home, and your Smart Phone
connected to same network as Telereef Controller with an
internal IP 192.168.2.80, you can click into “Trust IP” page
on System Settings to input this internal IP Address into Trusted IP list, so next time
when you visit the web interface, Telereef Controller will bypass the login procedure and
let you go straight into the Home page. !
!
If your IP Address changes from time to time, you can use wildcard character “ * “ to
match a whole range of IP Addresses. For example, 192.168.2.* means all the IP
Addresses from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.255!
!
We don’t recommend to bypass external IP Address unless you confirmed the external IP
you are using is a fixed IP Address, no other person will use it; otherwise, your aquarium
may explore in risky.!
!
!
•Wireless Network Connection!
!
If the aquarium is far away from the home router, you may not
easy to connect Telereef Controller to home router with a long
network cable, in this case WiFi connection may help to
connect to the network more easily.!
!
Fortunately, it is not an expensive way to connect Telereef
Controller and home router through WiFi connection,
expensive WiFi module is not necessary for us, instead a
cheap small traveler router is what we need.!
!
There are two kinds of traveler router, one of them only
provides AP Mode, the other one provide both AP and Client
Mode. The one we want is the Client Mode feature.!
!

Telereef Controller - User Manual V.140313!
A traveler router with the client mode can be connected to other
WiFi router wirelessly and provides network connection on it’s
own LAN port. Once the LAN port of Telereef Controller
connected to the LAN port of traveler router, and the traveler
router setup in client mode and connected to home WiFi router,
the Telereef Controller will be online and ready!!
