Vortech MP40w ES User manual

Before You Start
Preparation
Once you have chosen the location where you wish to install your VorTech pump, clean away any algae, using
an aquarium scraper. Use caution when handling an aquarium scraper.
Notes on placement
Take care to place the VorTech in a suitable location where corals are not directly in the line of flow. Place
the pump sufficiently high enough above a fine sand bed so that sand is not blown around by the output or
undertow created by the VorTech.
Protect the pump from water
The VorTech’s motor housing and driver are NOT WATERPROOF. Any water allowed into these components
can damage them enough to require replacement. This kind of damage is NOT covered in the VorTech’s war-
ranty. Protect these components from splashes, drips or other contact with water.
Break-in
The VorTech pump is engineered to adapt to its aqueous environment. During the first week of use, your
pump may run noisey or stall. The noise should quiet dramatically after 24 hours of use and any stall condi-
tions can safely be reset by manually cycling the power to your pump.
• The VorTech utilizes very powerful magnets and can cause severe personal injury.
• NEVER connect the two halves of this device without a proper spacer in-between.
• NEVER place either half of this device near magnetically attractive surfaces or sensitive electronics.
• The motor and driver can become HOT. Be cautious around these surfaces.
• Never run the pump dry as the heat buildup may cause damage to its components.
• Do Not Drop Your VorTech Pump - The VorTech is highly engineered to be as small and powerful as pos-
sible. As a result the VorTech is fragile. All precautions must be taken to avoid dropping the wet-side and
dry-side. After a fall onto the floor, both the wet side and dry side can be permanently damaged. Evidence
of this include cracking of the advanced ceramic axle within the wet side (MP10 versions only), or the dry
side running loudly. The VorTech pump SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FALL to the floor. Damage from
dropping will not be covered under warranty.
Warnings
This quick start guide is designed to get you started using your new VorTech Propeller Pump. This is
not intended to provide adequate information on the advanced features and modes of the pump.
For these features, please refer to our full instruction manual at www.ecotechmarine.com.
Maintenance
Cleaning your VorTech
The VorTech may need thorough cleaning of the components periodically to keep it running optimally. This can
be accomplished by disassembling the wet side of the pump and gently brushing the components with a soft
brush under running water. Soaking these parts in a mild acid solution such as vinegar may be necessary if
there is debris buildup. Do not use strong acids as this may damage the components.

Your VorTech MP40w ES
Adjust the Pin Spacer (MP40w ES Only)
The VorTech pump is designed to operate with a constant gap between
both halves of the device. The pin spacer is used to ensure the proper
spacing for various aquarium wall thicknesses.
• Make sure to measure your aquarium’s glass thickness using a ruler
or contact the aquarium manufacturer in order to determine the exact
thickness.
• To adjust for the proper aquarium thickness, pull the rubber pin spacer
from the motor housing. Then align the VorTech’s power cord emerg-
ing from the motor with your aquarium’s wall thickness to achieve the
proper offset from your aquarium.
Note: 3/4” thick aquariums do not use the pin spacer at all.
To remove the nozzle from the wet-frame, remove the entire wet-
half of the pump from the aquarium and place it on a non-metallic
surface. Gently but firmly press down on the nozzle with your palm
and twist counter-clockwise. The nozzle should become free of the
wet-frame. It may then be cleaned of any obstructions.

IMPORTANT: For glass thicknesses of 1/8” and 3/16” you must use the included
rubber spacer in between the motor and the glass. There is no need to use this
spacer on glass thicknesses of 1/4” or 3/8”. Failure to use the included rubber
spacer on glass thicknesses of 1/8” and 3/16”can damage your pump. Damage
of this sort will not be covered under warranty.
• Turn the VorTech pump to constant speed mode (indicated by a green LED)
by pressing the mode button which is located on the driver, then set to the
maximum speed by using the speed control knob on the driver.
• Plug the power supply into the driver. If vibration or excessive noise is
detected, carefully adjust the propeller housing by moving it VERY slightly
left, right, up or down, until the noise/vibration is eliminated or minimized as
much as possible.
• After alignment has been ensured, adjust to the mode of your choice and
turn the speed control knob to achieve the desired flow rate within your
aquarium.
IMPORTANT: If the VorTech is not properly aligned, a strong vibration will be
heard. If the alignment is not corrected, this can cause increased electrical
consumption, excessive wear on the components, excessive heat and excessive
noise.

Programming Multiple Pumps
NOTE: When using a single VorTech pump, no wireless configuration is necessary
A pump group consists of one master pump and at least one slave pump. There can only be one master pump
per group which can include an unlimited number of slave pumps. In order to set a pump as a master or a slave,
the aquarist must first enter the VorTech Pump’s configuration mode. Within configuration mode one can do
one of three different things:
•Resetthepump’smemorybacktoindependentmode
•Setthepumpasamaster
•Setthepumpasaslave
Masters and slaves must be set as groups and each group must be programmed separately. You must perform
the following steps in the order listed to correctly program your EcoSMART driver. You may setup a maximum of
seven separate groups, each having a unique master pump.

Step 3: Assign the Master
Set the master pump by pressing the mode button. The LED will
then blink blue and green.
Step 5: Reset the Master
Hold the mode button on the master pump after completing ALL the
master/slave assignments.
Step 1: Clear Driver Memory
The internal memory of each unit must be cleared before setting up
a group.
Step 2: Enter Configuration Mode
All pumps in a group must then be set into configuration mode
before the assignment of slave or master status. This configuration
must be performed with the drivers in close proximity to ensure
proper assignment. The drivers will blink red, white and blue in this
mode.
Step 4: Assign the Slaves
Set all the slave pumps by pressing the set button on each driver.
The LED will then blink blue and yellow.
NOTE: If any slave blinks blue and red, it was too far away from the
master driver and could not communicate properly
Step 6: Begin Normal Operation
Use the controls on the Master Pump to operate all pumps in the group. Slave pumps can only be set to sync or
anti-sync modes, or the three options in EcoSMART modes.
Step 7: Program Subsequent Groups
Now that the first group is programmed, repeat steps 1-5 on the next group of pumps, if so desired.

EcoSMART TSM (Tidal Swell Mode)
In this EcoSMART mode water is circulated
to create a harmonic balance in your aquarium reminiscent of the
changing flow conditions that would be found in nature. Over the
course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic with
an emphasis on left to right flow direction to an emphasis on right to
left flow direction, all the while experiencing calm period in between and
followed by a great surge of flow at the very end of the cycle. Adjusting
the dial changes the maximum speed achieved at any time during this
mode. Slave pumps should be positioned opposite the master and on
the back of the tank to take full advantage of the EcoSMART modes.
Random Mode
In random mode you can toggle between
two different modes, Reef-Crest and Lagoonal. When a pump is
in Lagoonal Random Mode, the dial is used to set the maximum
operational speed, and the driver will automatically randomize the
pumps output to simulate either a high (Reef-Crest) or low (Lagoonal)
energy reef environment. If this pump is a master, the associated
slave pumps will replicate the master in sync or anti-sync modes.
Lagoonal
Reef Crest
General Operational Modes
Constant Speed Mode
EcoSMART NTM (Nutrient Transport Mode)
In this EcoSMART mode, water is circulated in
a two phase program consisting of wave motion to stir up detritus and
surging motion to move the detritus into your overflow where it can be
skimmed out. This effect promotes maximum health and nutrient export,
as well as increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS. Adjusting
the dial changes the maximum speed achieved at any time during this
mode. Slave pumps should be positioned opposite the master and on the
back of the tank to take full advantage of the EcoSMART modes.
When a pump is in Constant Speed Mode, the dial is used to set the operational speed. If this pump is a master, the associated slave pumps
will replicate the master whether in sync or anti-sync mode.
Short Pulse Mode
Long Pulse Mode
When a pump is first entered into Pulse Mode, you must set the
maximum pump speed by adjusting the dial. When the desired speed
is achieved, press the Set button to lock this speed. The LED will now
begin to blink. This blinking LED represents the pulsing frequency
between 0.2 seconds and two seconds. Now adjust the dial to make
the pump pulse faster or slower. To save this wave, press and hold Set
until the LED flashes and then breathes blue, indicating that the wave
is saved. This saved wave will also be input into EcoSMART NTM.
When the pump is entered into Long Pulse Mode, the maximum
speed of the pump is set by adjusting the dial. When the desired
speed is achieved, press the Set button to lock this speed. The
LED will now begin to blink, the blinking LED represents the pulsing
frequency between 10 seconds and one minute. Now adjust the
dial to make the frequency increase or decrease. To save this wave,
7 press and hold the Set button until the LED flashes and then
breathes pink, indicating that the wave is saved.

Error Codes
Over Temperature Condition - In the event of a motor overheating, the pump will automatically shut down for
a period to allow for cooling. Once the motor has cooled, the driver will automatically restart and resume
normal operation. You may experience an overheating error from a misalignment.
Stall Condition - In the event of a motor stall, the pump may have stopped for a few possible reasons. You
should first check that there is not something blocking the propeller from spinning.
Wave Motion Warning
The generation of waves within your aquarium places additional stress on the aquarium glass and joints. Not all aquarium tanks are
designed to withstand this stress, and failure of the glass and/or joints could result. You are encouraged, before generating waves,
to consult with your aquarium tank manufacturer to determine if the tank construction is adequate to withstand the additional stress
generated by the wave motion. You are also encouraged to assure that your aquarium stand or furniture is adequately stable to
withstand the additional stress resulting from wave generation.
EcoTech Marine DISCLAIMS AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, damage to aquarium tanks or their surroundings, water damage, or any
other consequential damages resulting from wave generation. MAKE WAVES AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Feed Mode
Battery Backup Mode
To enter Feed Mode,
press and hold the mode
button for three seconds.
The LED will now blink
white indicating that
the pumps are in feed
mode. Regardless of your
system’s master/slave
pump configuration, all
pumps will enter feed
mode when that mode
is selected on any one
pump. The pumps will
spin very slowly for ten
minutes and then resume
their prior operating
conditions.
When a battery backup accessory is added to the VorTech pump, the pump will automatically switch to Battery Backup mode
during a power outage. The pumps will run at the minimum speed to maximize their run time during this critical period.
