The AQUARIUM MULTITESTER is an electronic device able to read all the most important aquarium values (temperature, pH, Redox, marine density, conductivity, level): it allows to control every available value (two values can be controlled at the same time) and all the data is displayed on the same screen (thanks to the two USB connections).
The MULTITESTER can be reprogrammed by the use of our PC interface (ACQ220) and also features an Electronic Diary function for the management of regular and special maintenance.

The control unit is the heart of the “Aquarium Controller” system.
With this control unit the user can configure the settings of an aquarium and analyse data in a clear and intuitive way.
The screen makes programming and monitoring easy, and also makes it possible to set and display graphs.
The main feature of the control unit is its ability to be reprogrammed with a PC so that all of the functions currently available and those, which will be implemented in the future, can be updated.

With one single control unit the Aquarium Controller system currently features the following functions:

• Management of one or more aquariums
  It is possible to create a system consisting of one control unit and several Power Units (up to ten). This enables the user to manage several aquariums at the same time, even if they are very different from each other.
  
  
• Manual control of the plugs (from 6 to 60 sockets)
  The user can manually control each individual plug of the system. This makes it possible to do any kind of maintenance without having to physically disconnect the utilities.
  
  
• Multi-timer function on each plug (from 35 to 350 programmes)
  Through the Power Unit this function controls the automatic activation and deactivation of pumps, neon and incandescent lights, skimmers and any other equipment.
  
• Wave Effect
  This function alternately activates two or even three pumps in repeating cycles, and can also be programmed with an alternating pause if desired.
  
• Tide effect
  This function alternately activates two pumps with fixed cycles of 6.15 hours each (tide time).
  
• Summer function
  This function powers the heating cable underneath the gravel at intervals of 5 minutes/h during the periods in which it would normally not used (summer).
  
• Power Cut Controls
  This function records the duration of a power outage. If an outage lasts for more than an hour, the outputs selected during its programming will remain deactivated when the power returns.
  
• Acoustic and visual alarms
  It is possible to set one or more alarms to warn the user in the event of an anomaly.
  
  
• Electronic agenda to organise routine or special maintenance.
  This function allows the user to save reminders that can be repeated in cycles at any time; an acoustic and visual signal will be activated at the set time.
  
  
• Reading and monitoring parameters:
  temperature (with supplied sensor)- Level -
  pH- Redox – Fresh Water Conductivity and Marine Density
  This feature allows the user to measure and display (using the appropriate sensors and interfaces) the values of the Temperature, Level, pH, Redox, Freshwater Conductivity and Marine Density. Based on the values the user can modify the state of the plugs, by turning the connected utilities on or off.
  
  
  
• Automatic acknowledgement of devices connected (Plug & Play)
  This function automatically detects any original Aquatronica accessory connected to the system, and automatically enables the relevant menu.
  
  
• PC connection
  This function allows the user connect the system to a PC, which makes the setting programs faster and easier. With this interface the user can back-up the data recorded by the system for future analysis.
  
  
• Reprogrammable software
  This makes it possible to continuously update the software of the control unit, a feature which places this product above all other in its category: using a PC connection the user can update the controller with functions which were unavailable at the time of purchase, without having to replace any components in the system.

power supply voltage: 115V 60 Hz - 220V 50 Hz
max working current: 500 mA

Thanks to the Ethernet module and a remote connection, it is possible to dialogue via internet or LAN networks.
This allows the user to check the Aquarium Controller in two distinct ways:

• by connecting from any internet point, via a browser;
• by connecting to a LAN network.

In both cases, it is possible to monitor the aquarium data and also manually enable and disable every single socket of the power units connected to the system.
It is also possible to enable email alarm management

(you receive a message at the desired email address if a malfunction occurs).

Thanks to the GSM module and a remote connection, it is possible to dialogue via a mobile phone.
There must be a SIM card from any mobile phone company (not supplied) inside the GSM module. This makes it possible to receive considerable information about the condition of your aquarium, such as:
triggered system alarms
black-out warnings and a subsequent signal when the power is turned back on (thanks to the internal battery)
you can ask the control unit for the list of water chemical values
send and receive sms messages just like any normal mobile phone
The firmware inside the GSM module can be continually updated on-line.

Aquatronica dosing pumps guarantee the possibility of metering liquids in your aquarium.
the module consists in 3 peristaltic pumps which function independently and allow the following types of dosage:
single dosage: allows a pre-established quantity of the substance to be administered at a set time and on set days;
repeated dosage: allows a dosage to be repeated at regular intervals (hours - days);
weekly dosage: allows the desired dosage to be administered only on set days of the week;
diffused dosage: the desired substance is administered evenly over a set time lapse.
Aquatronica dosing pumps also administer substances on the basis of data provided by the electrodes connected to the system; this innovative function allows you to automatically correct the water biological balance.
There are also 3 optional connectors which in future will allow stirring systems to be connected to the module; this will allow the metering of semi liquid substances (which would tend to deposit).

The water leakage sensor detects water that has leaked onto the floor where the aquarium is located: based on programming, certain functions will be activated or deactivated, minimizing damage.

It can detect both soft and salt water leaks. The sensor requires the relative interface (ACQ210N-WL) to be connected to the system.

The Water Leakage Interface connects the system to one or more water leakage sensors. By using this interface combined with the relevant water leakage sensor (code ACQ320), connected multioutlets can be controlled and alarm signals can be sent.

The alarms can also be sent via e-mail and SMS if the relevant Ethernet or GSM modules are connected to the system (in case of Aquarium Controller System).

The ACQ210N-WL interface is equipped with:

• a connector for BUS connection to the Aquarium Controller system with relevant connection cable
• two connectors for connecting the sensors mentioned above

When it is connected to the system, it permits automatic "Plug & Play" recognition and enabling of the relevant configuration menus.
