Choose carefully where to position your new Smartwave, make sure it is an accessible and safe place, no risk of falling in water (aquarium or sump), out of reach of children and possibly not too humid. Use a screw or very strong Velcro (both not included) to attach the controller to the cabinet or where desired.

• Select “I” with program knob
• Select time exchange between ON-OFF with right-hand knob
• Turn Smartwave on with the ON-OFF switch
• The blue LED will confirm the correct start up of the system and will light up when the pump is working (pushing water).
• From the moment Smartwave is turned on the pump will run on and off following the time set.

Programming with 2 pumps connected
Each channel/connector can tolerate up to 100W Max.

Do NOT exceed 100W per channel.

Manual Feeding Program
If you wish to stop manually the pump/s at any time to feed the aquarium, you can do so by selecting the fish icon with the program knob. To restart the pump/s simply reposition the knob on the previously selected program (I or II). The pump/s can be stopped for as long as necessary, without interfering on the pump exchange settings or on the automatic feeding program (if previously set).

Automatic Feeding Program
When feeding fish and especially invertebrates, it is advisable to stop the pumps. With Smartwave you have the possibility of setting the Feeding program which will stop the pump/s once or twice a day depending on how many times food distributions are planned. The Feeding program must be set before Smartwave is turned on.
• With Smartwave turned OFF, Select the fish icon with program knob
• Select the number of feedings by positioning the right-hand knob on the 1 fish icon or the 2 fish icon (1 or 2 feedings);
• Turn Smartwave on with the ON-OFF switch
• The blue LEDs (1flash=1 feeding; 2 flash= 2 feeding) will confirm the program has been selected correctly and the pump/s will stop for 5 minutes. It is advisable that during these 5 minutes you program also the automatic feeder, so both systems will be perfectly coordinated.
• Proceed with programming the pump/s as explained in the in the Programming paragraphs.

Attention:

  • The first feeding will occur always at the time when the feeding program was activated.
  • 1 feeding a day = the pump/s will stop once a day, every 24hrs, exactly when the program was activated. Ex. If the feeding program was activated at 8.00am, from that moment on the pump/s will stop every 24hrs at 8.00am.
  • 2 feedings a day = the pump/s will stop twice a day, at an 8hrs distance. Ex. If the feeding program was activated at 8.00am the pump/s will stop for the first time, they will then top for the second time at 4.00 pm. The following day the pump/s will stop at the same times (8am and 4pm).
  • To cancel the feeding program, turn OFF Smartwave completely, wait a few minutes until the LEDs have turned off, then Proceed with programming the pump/s as explained in the in the Programming paragraphs.
DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
1. A) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug from the power source
B)Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Inspect power cord insulation to be sure there are no cuts or exposed wire. If so, discard and order a new replacement.
D)To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the Figure at right, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing.
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may over heat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
