Operation
The sealed module has an LED light in front to indicate when the unit is on Standby or in
Operation. The indicator light shines blue when the unit is plugged in and on Standby,
verifying a powered connection. It turns green when the unit is actively controlling a pump.
Connecting the VSC
The VSC is controlled by the Atlantic Control app. Download the application from the
appropriate store, then open it and allow Bluetooth access. Search for the device and
choose the "TidalWave VSC". Log in the first time with the default numerical password
"12345678"; you won't need to log in with the password again unless you change it.
Setting the Name & Password
To change the password, or to rename the particular VSC, click the 3 dots at top right, go to
"Login Settings", put in your new Name and/or Password up to 8 numerical digits, then click
the "Save" button. You can set a unique name and password for any number of VSCs, to
individually control multiple water features.
Adjusting Pump Flow
To adjust pump output, use the up and down arrows to adjust the flow in ten increments, 1
to 10, with 100% flow at "10" and the flow reduced to 30% at the lowest setting of 1.
Setting the Timer
To set the Timer to program up to three periods in 24 hours, select the green power button
for each timed start and stop. Use the "plus" and "minus" buttons to set the level from 1 to
10. Set the timer selections, then click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen. For
a seamless transition between power levels, match the end time of one period to the start
time of the next period to change the power level without shutting off the pump. For
example, match the "OFF" time of 5:00 pm at Level 10 of one period to the "ON" time of
5pm at Level 2 of the next period, and the power level will jump from 10 to 2 at 5pm
without the pump turning off.
Pause Function
To pause the pump temporarily, to feed fish or service the skimmer, use the customizable
"Pause" button, between the up and down arrows. Press the button and select a time
between 5 and 30 minutes. Click on "Ok" to pause the pump. The pump will resume the last
flow level after the custom pause time has elapsed. If the pause happens to overlap a pre-set
start time, then that "Start" will be skipped and the pump will require a manual start.
Maintenance and Inspection
Regular maintenance and inspections are recommended to determine that everything is
operating properly. If any abnormal conditions are noticed, refer to the section on
Troubleshooting and take corrective measures immediately.
Winterization
The TidalWave Variable Speed Controller should be removed and stored inside to protect it
during the winter. Please refer the specific winterization instructions for the pump installed
with the TidalWave VSC.
