Reefcrest Random Mode

Reefcrest Random Mode mimics a high-energy reef zone

such as that found on the reefcrest of a natural coral reef.

In this zone of the coral reef, the waves crash down upon

the reef providing frequent surges in flow. Reefcrest Mode

simulates this environment by automatically changing the

speed of your pump frequently and drastically.

Once selected in Reefcrest Random Mode. Adjusting the

knob will now change the maximum speed that the pump

operates at while in Reefcrest Mode. This will be shown

visually on the LED strip for three seconds. After the maxi-

mum speed representation disappears, the LED strip’s

LED’s represent what speed the pump is currently operat-

ing at within the Reefcrest Mode cycle. You will notice that

at some times the pump runs at higher speeds than at oth-

ers. This is the nature of Reefcrest Mode.

When using Reefcrest Random Mode with multiple pumps, the Master Pump will send out a wire-

less signal. Any slave pumps that have been grouped with this master will receive this signal and

do either the same thing as the master (Sync Mode, white), or the opposite of the master (Anti-

Sync Mode, orange). This type of group can be used to create random currents throughout a reef

tank, ensuring that the pumps are either working together or against each other depending on

what you desire as a reef keeper.

Lagoon Random

Lagoon Random Mode mimics the low-energy reef zone such as that found in a lagoon. A lagoon

is protected from the high energy of large waves and therefore the corals that come from this zone

are used to slower, more gentle currents than those found in a Reefcrest environment. Lagoon

Mode simulates this environment by automatically changing the speed of your pump slowly.

When using Lagoon Random Mode with multiple pumps,

the Master Pump will send out a wireless signal. Any slave

pumps that have been grouped with this master will re-

ceive this signal and do either the same thing as the master

(Sync Mode, white), or the opposite of the master (Anti-

Sync Mode, orange). This type of group can be used to

create random currents throughout a reef tank, ensuring

that the pumps are either working together or against each

other depending on what you desire as a reef keeper.

Operational Modes

Illustration to the right shows an EcoSmart Driver in Random Mode (Yellow Con-

trol Dial). The thrid and fourth brightly illuminated LEDs show that this driver is set

to Lagoon Random along with the dim LEDs showing the speed setting.

Illustration above shows an EcoSmart Driver in

Random Mode (Yellow Control Dial). The first and

second brightly illuminated LEDs show that this

driver is set to Reefcrest Random along with the

dim LEDs showing the speed setting.
