Additional power supply for SmartController 7000 – Safety Connector
Incaseofapowerfailure,theSmartControllernolongercontrolsanyoutput.Ifowpumpsareconnectedto
a safety connector 6105.500 (14), the SmartController 7000 must also be connected to a safety connector
(possibly same battery with 12 V).
The Safety Connector enables a normal operation with the TUNZE®power supply unit (15), but in case
of a power failure it will automatically switch over to a battery (16) or a DC power source. It should always
be ensured that the battery is in an optimal condition, by using a commercially available battery charger.
Indoor use of lead starter batteries for cars is inadmissible!
Never connect the SmartController 7000 directly to a battery or other DC power source or without a fuse!
The maximum DC voltage is 18 volts (switch-off limit) - if exceeded, the electronics will be destroyed!

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

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.
