Red Sea WaveMaster Pro Instalación Y Manual Operativo página 4

The Wavemaster Pro offers 4 distinct settings of varying wave motion:
By pressing the control button on the left of the front panel, you can
sequentially choose one of the 4 wave program options as indicated
by the round bicolour (red/green) lights above the program symbols.
Red is for Marine mode and green is for Reef mode. The Marine &
Reef modes affect the water motion when the Feed program is
initiated as described below. Use the Marine mode for aquariums
which are predominantly stocked with fish and Reef mode for aquariums
that are predominantly stocked with invertebrates.
Try each of the 4 wave programs for a few days to determine which
gives the best results for your aquarium.
2.3Feed program
The Wavemaster Pro provides a feed switch that temporarily suspends
the wave program to provide a period of water motion more suited
for feeding.
Press the Feed button immediately before feeding. The green indicator
light below the button indicates that the Feed program is in operation.
The Feed program will turn off automatically after 10 minutes when
the Wave program is set to Marine mode and 30 minutes when in
Reef mode. Thereafter the Wave program you have chosen will
continue as before. The preprogrammed changes in the powerheads
/ main pump (as described below) will be displayed by the indicator
lights. The Feed program can be canceled at any time by again pressing
the Feed button.
Powerhead / Main Pump settings for Marine Feed program -
Operates for 10 minutes after pressing the feed button.
If the P4/MP selector switch is set to MP , the main pump will remain
on during feeding indicated by the red light on the front panel and
powerheads P1, P2 & P3 will be turned off.
If the P4/MP selector switch is set to P4, all of the powerheads will
be turned off.
Powerhead / Main Pump settings for Reef Feed program -
Operates for 30 minutes after pressing the feed button.
If the P4/MP selector switch is set to MP , the main pump, P1 & P3 will
be turned off and powerhead P2 will be turned on, indicated by the
green light on the front panel.
If the P4/MP selector switch is set to P4, only powerhead P2 will be
turned on, indicated by the green light on the front panel.
2.4Night program
The night program provides an 8 hour period of calmer water motion,
irrespective of which Wave program has been selected.
The Night program can be set either at the beginning (night time) or
at the end (morning) of the desired 8 hour Night period. Once the
Night program has been initiated it will run automatically i.e. initiating
3
the Night period at exactly the same hour every day until either
switched off manually or the Wavemaster Pro is reset by either
switching off the unit or by a power outage. At the end of the 8
hour Night period the Wavemaster Pro will return to the selected
Wave program.
Pressing the Night program button once will set the beginning of
the Night period indicated by a green light below the button.
Pressing the Night program button a second time will set the
beginning of the day period indicated by a red light below the
button. Pressing the Night program button a third time will switch
the Night program off. Correct operation of the Night program
can be seen by the indicator light changing from green to red to
green etc. during the relevant period.
The main pump (if P4/MP is set to MP) will not be affected by the
operation of the Night program. The Night program is the same
for both the Marine or Reef modes and all of the 4 Wave program
options.
Example: If you press the Night program button at 11.00 PM
(green light). The pre-programmed Night powerhead settings will
run for eight hours, switching automatically to the selected Wave
program during the day (red light) the next day at 7.00 AM.
Default settings
When switching on or resetting the Wavemaster Pro the following
default setting will be in operation:
Wave program - set to Gentle, Marine mode
Night Program - Off
P4/MP - according to setting of selector switch (located on back
panel)
3. Positioning of the powerheads
To achieve optimal circulation in the aquarium, position the
powerheads at different depths. Place at least one powerhead
near the surface, one about midway and one near the bottom.
The current should be directed along the length of the aquarium.
Permanent positioning of the powerheads as well as choosing the
most suitable program is a gradual process. Carefully observe your
corals for signs of discomfort. Corals vary in their preference for
current strengths, Some species prefer quiet water and may have
to be protected from the full force of the powerheads. Never
direct the full force of a current straight to a coral colony or sea
anemone as this may dislodge the colony, causing it to fall over.
When connecting the powerheads to the Wavemaster Pro
remember P1 & P3 are operated alternately in the Gentle and
Turbulent Wave options and during the Night. When the Wavemaster
Pro is in Reef Mode P2 is the only powerhead in operation when
the feed program is activated.
