To use the temperature sensor, the temperature probe must
be connected to the COM port on the controller before
the power is turned on. Once connected and powered up,
the temperature can be displayed by navigating through to
the menu system, or by looking at the computer interface.
Master/Slave
If you would like to use up to 4 x SmartControl 8 units
together, you can connect them using the Master/Slave
connection cable (available separately - not supplied). This
connects from the spare USB on the temperature sensor
cable, to the COM port of the next unit. You should use
the menu system to set the first controller in line to be
Master, the second to be Slave1, the third to be Slave2 and
the fourth to be Slave3. All units will then follow what the
Master controller is doing.
1-10V Control
The SmartControl 8 can be connected to any external
lighting controller or aquarium computer with a 1-10V
output and it will slave from that signal. To enable this
mode, simply navigate through the menu system on the
controller and turn 1-10V to ON. Cables to connect to
various devices are sold separately. If you wish to make
your own cable,
connect via the female
type A USB connector
on the temperature
sensor cable, where Pin
1 is 1-10V and Pin 4 is
GND (see diagram).
Tropical Marine Centre does supply a male Type A USB to 2
core bare ended cable to help with this task (supplied
separately). Contact your local retailer for further details.
