Combinations
A switching socket or a valve can also be combined with a
Y-cable. Therefore it is possible to control 3 different devices
through a single socket.
Combinations:
(A) switching socket + Y-cable + pump + LED 8850
(B) switching socket or valve + Y-cable + 2 pumps or
2 LEDs 8850
If a switching socket or valves are connected to a socket
together with pumps or LEDs 8850, make sure that the
switching socketorthe valveisalwaysconnectedrst,and
then the pump or LED 8850 light only connected afterwards to
the supplied connector sockets of the switching socket / valve.
Y-cable
With the Y-cable 7090.300 (10), a further device can be
connected to a socket. Through this, two different devices
can be simultaneously controlled on a single socket (c), for
example, a Turbelle®pump and a TUNZE®LED 8850 (11).
Alternatively, two pumps (12) or two LEDs 8850 (13) can also
be operated on a single socket. With 4 Y-cables it is thus
possible to connect 8 Turbelle®pumps or 8 TUNZE®LEDs
8850 to the SmartController 7000 (5).
Caution! When using a Y-cable it is only possible to connect
identical dimming LED lights with the same voltage, for
example, 2 x 8850.000 with 24 V (13a), or 2x 8810.000 /
8820.000 / 8830.000 with 12 V (13b). A combination of these
two lamps will destroy the 12 V lamp!
Switching socket /
CO2valve
The switching socket (Controlled Power Socket) 7070.120 (1)
and the CO2valve (2) from the CO2valve set 7070.200 each
have a connection (a) for the SmartController 7000 (3) and a
socket (b) for connecting additional TUNZE®LED 8850 (4) or
a Turbelle®pump (5).
Therefore, without an additional cable a switching socket (1)
or a valve (2) can be operated on a single socket / channel (c)
of the SmartController 7000 (3) together with a TUNZE®LED
8850 (4) or together with a Turbelle®pump (5).
It is, however,
NOT possible to connect a switching socket and
a valve to a single socket / channel (c)!
When connecting a CO2bottle (6), ensure that the CO2 valve
(7) and the non-return valve (8) are correctly connected in the
direction of the arrow (9).

Safety instructions
for the magnet holder
of the pH / mV
electrode holder
Very strong magnet! (7)
Keep the magnet holder out of reach of children!
Caution! Risk of injury! (8)
Do not bring the magnet halves together! The magnet halves
cling together with a force of approx. 30 to 200 kg (66 to 441
lbs.), depending on the type of direct contact.
Only touch the magnetic parts on the sides with your hand.
Never place the hand or the ngers between the contact
surfaces (9)!
The magnets attracts metal parts and other magnets which
are less than 10 cm (3.94 in.) away with great force! When
handling the magnet, no metal parts, other magnets, blades
or knives should be within a vicinity of 10 cm (3.94 in.) in order
to avoid injuries.
Beware of magnetically sensitive items such as pacemakers,
data carriers, credit cards and keys. Maintain a minimum
distance of at least 30 cm (10.92 in.)!
When transporting the Magnet Holder, always use the supplied
spacer adapter.
Heating above 50°C (122°F) will lead to the destruction of the
magnet, or loss of the magnetic effect (10).
Safety instructions
Thee connection to third-party devices, for example, to a
different power supply or switch is not allowed (1)!
Only use the SmartController 7000 in aquariums whose
operation is also permitted outdoors (2).
Before putting the power supply into operation, please check
whether the operating voltage of the appliance corresponds
with the mains voltage.
Aquarium water temperature max. +35°C (95°F) (3).
Do not bend the probe cable and also do not use it to attach
the probe (4).
Absolutely observe the chapter “Care and cleaning of the
electrode”.
For the pH/CO2SmartController Set 7070.000: Water is
constantly absorbs CO2and moves it into the hose in the
direction of the valve. Therefore, unscrew the hose from the
metering valve, if the CO2bottle is depleted or the control
system is switched off.
The switching socket 7070.120 may only be opened only by
an electrician (5).
The SmartController 7000 and power supply must be protected
from moisture (6).
Keep the instruction manual in a safe place.

Wall mounting of the
SmartController
The SmartController 7000 can be mounted to smooth walls
with the supplied adhesive strips, or be screwed to the wall.
(Screws not included in the scope of delivery!)
A suitable wall must be dry and protected from splash water
and moisture.
The SmartController 7000 may under no circumstances be
attached above the Aquarium (4)!
Water from a pump connected to the SmartController 7000
could follow the cable and damage the device. To avoid this,
we recommend forming a loop with the cable or placing the
SmartController 7000 higher than the pump.
Observe the cable length of the devices because connecting
cables may not be extended.
Several TUNZE®controllers can be placed densely side by
side, and all cable outlets positioned at the bottom (5).
Route the cables in such a manner that no water can travel
along them and penetrate into the controller!
Safety instructions
for TUNZE®power
supply units

outdoor operation (1).
In order to prevent water damage, the power supply unit should be
placed as far away from the aquarium as possible.
Operation is permitted only with a residual-current-operated
circuit-breakertted,max.30mA.
Before working in the a
quarium, please make sure that all electric
units in use have been di sco nnected from the mains.
Do not repair a damaged mains cable – repla
ce the unit
completely.
The connection to devices, such as electronic switches or
speed controllers, of other
makes is not permissible (2)!
The
SmartController 7000 on the pump cable is susceptible to

Care and cleaning of
the electrode
The accuracy of the pH or mV measurement depends on the
cleaning condition of the electrode. For this reason, it should
be treated with special care.
Never stick the electrode into the sand to test the pH or
mV value in the ground. The sensitive glass sphere could
be destroyed as a result, whereas the damage would be
irreparable and the warranty would become void. (1).
During the operation, the electrode should be half immersed
in water. Cable and screw connections must not come into
contact with water.
The cable of the electrode should not be pinched or
mechanically stressed.
A strong algae growth on the electrode will falsify the measured
value. Please mount in position which is as dark as possible.
A dirty or algae-covered electrode may not be cleaned
mechanically: the delicate glass membrane would be
destroyed (2).
Cleaning in intervals of 1 - 3 months
The electrode should be cleaned to avoid faulty measurements.
Please clean using the TUNZE®cleaning solution 7040.200 in
intervals of 1 to 3 months.
Let the electrode soak in the cleaning solution for about 10
minutes (3).
Then rinse with very clean water (aqua dest.) and dry with very
soft paper (4).
Service life of the electrode
If a clean electrode is properly stored, the self discharge
(consumption) is lower than when it is used in measuring
media. Therefore, the electrode tip should always be kept
moist between the measurements, and preferably stored in a
KCl solution. The electrode has a salt reservoir made of KCl (5)
on the inside. This salt reservoir will be gradually consumed. If
it is exhausted, there could be severe incorrect measurements
and the electrode must be replaced.
If the electrode is exposed to the open for several hours, the
membrane at the tip can dry out, resulting in a defect of the
electrode.
The service life of the electrodes during continuous operation
is approx. one to two years, whereas this time can usually be
extended with good care and occasional measurements. A
storage time of the mV or pH electrode for several months
beforerstuseonlyslightlyshortenstheservicelife,ifthetip
of the electrode remains in the protective cap with KCl solution
andiskeptmoist.Exactspecicationsaretherebynotpossible
here, because the lifetime depends on the respective usage.
The date of manufacture of the electrode is located on the
outer side of the electrode packaging.

IfaconnectiontothespeciednetworkinClientModehasnot
been found through the browser, then the assigned network
should be switched off or SmartController 7000 switched on
outside of this network.
If the SmartController 7000 is unable to successfully
connect with the existing network in the Client Mode
(1c), it will automatically attempt to connect after 60
seconds in the Access Point Mode (1a) with the network
name
#smartcontroller_7000 (2) and the IP address
192.168.2 .1 (3) . A connection to the SmartController 7000
then be possible again as described in the chapter “Integration
into an existing WiFi network in the Access Point Mode (see
page 11).
Note: If your access point is out of operation for a prolonged
time due to maintenance work (max. 24 hours), your
SmartController 7000 will automatically reconnect afterwards.

The rst SmartController 7000remains unplugged from the
mains power grid (1) and only the second is put into operation
by inserting the power plug (2). Now create a connection to
the second SmartController 7000 as described in the chapter
“Integration into an existing WiFi network in the Access Point
Mode (see page 11), meaning a connection of your PC with
the network name #smartcontroller_7000 and with the
password smartcontroller7000 .
In the menu item “Settings” (3) the second device must then
be switched to the Client Mode (4). Thereby, a different IP
address is used, e.g. the IP address
192.168.2.2 can be
used for the second device.
Before you conrm thesetting forthe ClientMode,the rst
SmartController 7000 must now also be switched on (2). It will
then work as master.
For additional SmartControllers which are to be operated
simultaneously in the Access Point Mode, the procedure is
the same as with the second SmartController 7000. The last
number in the IP address is then counted up by one. For the
third device you can also select the IP address
192.168.2.3 .
Connecting multiple

in the Client Mode
The connection of additional devices is carried out exactly
as described in the chapter “Integration into an existing WiFi
network in the Client Mode (see page 12), but other devices
are only recognized if the respective IP address was assigned
in the local area network as described in point 1 and 2.

Access to the
SmartController
via the Internet
(web interface)
In order to reach the SmartController 7000 outside of the in-
house WiFi network, an external access to the router must
be enabled. For example, this can be performed through a
secure VPN connection. This may, however, entail security
risks and thus requires advanced computer skills.
The connection is made possible through the built-in OpenVPN
server (2). To do this, the data of the port or a DynDNS must be
enteredonthepage“Settings”(1).Fromthis,aconguration
lewillbecreatedwhichisthenloadedontothedevice,and

Field “Interval settings” (1):
Here, it is possible to continue the operation of the other non-
controlled pumps with a minimum circulation performance
with the help of the top regulator “Operation of deactivated
pumps with minimal capacity” (2).
With the lower regulator “Interval time” (3) the time can be
selected for the pump alternation from one minute up to 10
hours.
Field “Setting of the four pump channels” (4):
Here, the pump output can be individually adjusted with the
regulator precisely as needed on each channel.
Field “Wave generator settings” (5):
By moving the “Use of channel 3 and 4 as a wave generator”
regulator (6) upwards, the function as wave generators (wave
box principle) is assigned to the pumps or wave boxes on the
channels 3 and 4 .
The
channels 3 and 4 can simultaneously be set to
synchronous or alternating (asynchronously).
If the pumps / waveboxes are adjacent and they should be
switched asynchronously, the function “Channel 4 and 3 in
the inverse operation, if...” will be activated - the regulator is
pushed upwards (7). Otherwise leave the regulator down.
Clicking on the “Auto-adjust start” (8a) button will enable
an automatic search for detecting the optimal resonance
frequency for the pumps / waveboxes in the aquarium. The
pulsing will initially start with a cycle time of 0.3 seconds.
Every 3 seconds it will then increase by a time of 0.01 up to a
max. of 2.5 seconds. During this time, the aquarium should be
closely observed. A water movement can be observed, once
the resonant frequency is reached. Now press the function
“Auto adjust stop” (8b).
The“wavetime”canadditionallybemanuallyneadjustedin
±0,01 second steps with a regulator (9a) or with two buttons

intheaquarium.Thestorm-likecurrentowisnotconstantly
in operation, but can be programmed for several times a day
or week (3 hours to 5 days). The “Storm mode” is based on
axedandprecisepumpcycle,whichcontrolsallfourpump

Position the pumps in the aquarium in such a manner, that the
“Storm mode” is not able to cause any water damages!
Field “Night mode” (2):
In the night mode, a night mode of the pump output can
be selected using a regulator (3). If the regulator has been
pushed upwards, a time window for the night mode will also
be adjustable (4). The internal real time clock will interrupt the
pulse operation of the connected pumps during this time. The
pumps will then continue to run with minimal performance. In
the morning, after the time has expired, the selected pulse
operation of the pump will start again in the “Pulse mode” (see
page 16).
E󰀨ect of Interval mode in the aquarium:
The interval operation between low tide ( channels 1 and 2 )
and high tide ( channels 3 and 4 ) enables the creation of
twoannularowsintheaquarium.Thereefrockisregularly
oodedfrombothsides,thesedimentsarewashedawayand
the invertebrates exposed to current from all directions.
Result:
The pumps at the outputs 1 and 2 will operate for 6 hours, and
vary their output between 20% and 80%.
After 6 hours the pumps 1 and 2 will be switched off, and
the pumps 3 and 4 will continue to operate and vary their
performance between 40% and 100%.
After 6 further hours, the pumps 1 and 2 will switch on again,
etc.
If the night mode function “night mode” is enabled, this will
interrupt the pulse operation for the programmed time interval,
for example, from 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., during which all
pumps will remain in the minimal performance setting, but
the high and low tide simulation “Interval mode” will continue
to function. In the morning after 9 a.m., the selected pulse
operation of the pump will start.
Example:
Channels 1 and 2 to 20% and 80%.
Channels 3 and 4 to 40% and 100%.
Interval time to about 6 hours.
Pulse frequency to 1.5 sec.
