Operating Principle; General Operation - TMC Aquarium REEF-Fill Compact Manual De Instrucciones

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The IR water level monitoring sensor (black cable) detects water level changes and sends a
signal to the Smart Monitoring System unit which will determine whether your water level is
too high or too low, switching the pump on or off accordingly. If the water level is too low, the
Smart Monitoring System unit will switch on the pump, allowing water to be pumped into the
aquarium or sump until the level is restored, in turn, shutting off the pump.
Low Water Level Alarm
When the water level in the aquarium or sump/freshwater container drops below the level of
the IR water level monitoring sensor, there will be a visual alarm (flashing blue light) on the
Smart Monitoring System unit. This blue light will continue to flash until the water level rises to
the normal water level or until the pump has run for 5 minutes.
Auto Cut Off
The IR water level monitoring safety sensor (white cable) will activate an auto cut off of the
pump should the IR water level monitoring sensor fail to switch the pump off. Both an audible
and visual alarm (flashing red light) will be activated if the water level is too high or low. Press
the reset button on the Smart Monitoring System unit to stop the audible alarm.
Run Dry Alarm
If the Smart Monitoring System unit detects the pump is running dry, both an audible and visual
alarm (flashing blue light) will be activated, alerting you to the fact that the sump/freshwater
container needs to be re-filled. Press the reset button on the Smart Monitoring System unit to
stop the audible alarm.
Normal Water Level
When the water level is normal, the Smart Monitoring System unit will display a constant blue
light.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Determine your ideal water level within the aquarium or sump.
2. Place the REEF-Fill Compact mounting bracket in a suitable position in the aquarium or sump.
3. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Check on a daily basis to ensure the sump or freshwater container is not running low on
water and top up as required.
5. Maintain regularly for continued, reliable operation.
6. When carrying out aquarium maintenance or acclimating animals in the aquarium, unplug
the REEF-Fill Compact System to prevent any unwanted activation due to an altered
aquarium/sump water level.
7. On a weekly basis (or more often in setups with high detritus levels or a refugium) ensure
that the IR sensors and anti-siphon valve are clean and free from any algae/bacteria growth
or detritus build up.
Please Note: The larger the surface area of the chamber or aquarium the REEF-Fill Compact
is installed in, a higher volume will be evaporated before the switch will be activated.
Ideally place the REEF-Fill Compact in the return pump chamber of a sump.
