Programs:
20 - 100:
Speed Mode: Flow of 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100% power. Only in conjunction with W1 and
C.
C:
Constant flow.
W1:
Frequency and speed can be adjusted. By using the SPEED button, the power can be
varied in steps of 20% between 20 and 100%. By turning the control dial Fig. 2, No.
4) the frequency can be changed.
W2:
The flow is increased slowly and then decreased just as slowly again.
10 min.:
If the MODE / FEED button is pressed for 5 seconds, the LED 10 min. lights up. The
pump is stopped for 10 minutes and then starts again. If you want to start it earlier,
press the MODE / FEED button again for 5 seconds.
Random:
The flow changes according to the random principle.
A/B LOCK:
When using a Master Controller, choose the requested channel A or B by briefly
pressing the button. By keeping the button pressed for 5 seconds (until "Lock" LED
lights up) an accidental change of the control dial (Fig. 2, No. 4) is prevented. By
pressing the LOCK button, the LOCK LED will be activated and the control dial is taken
out of service. If you press the A/B LOCK button for 5 seconds again, it turns on again
("Lock" LED goes out).
Night Mode: When connecting the light sensor, the night mode is activated and displayed by a LED
(Night). In night mode, during nighttime, the pump automatically reduces the power to half power.
The sensor is not encapsulated waterproof. Please protect it from condensate and respect a maximum
of 80% air humidity.
The light sensor is connected to the left side at the controller. To use the night function, the EcoDrift
Control has to be attached to a lighted place, but not directly at a very bright light source as this
may damage the sensor. The light sensor doesn't work in absolute darkness because it is without
power then and is no longer recognized by the controller. In that case, the pump is still running in
normal day mode. There is a remaining light of 5 Lux required, e. g. caused by a moonlight, to enable
the night mode to be activated. During daytime, the pump switches back to the set program.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
From time to time, the pump needs to be cleaned. In particular, the impeller could be stuck on the
axle so that the pump stops operating. First of all, remove the pump assembly from the holder (6).
Then, remove the rubber gaskets (Fig. 1, No. 4). Twist the filter basket (1) and remove it from the
pump housing (3). Hold the pump assembly with your left hand. With your right hand, twist the filter
basket counterclockwise to unlock it from the pump housing. The filter basket can be locked in various
positions. Ideally, the cable should point vertically upwards.
