Table: Programming the OceanProp Control
Night Mode:
By selecting the “Night” button, the night mode is activated. This is shown by a red
light in the display. In this mode, the controller switches the pump constantly to minimum capacity
during darkness. The light sensor is located in the upper right corner (4). If the night mode is
activated, the
OceanProp Control
has to be mounted in a well illuminated area, exposed to
daylight or to the aquarium lighting. As soon as it gets dark, the pump runs with minimum
capacity. When it gets bright again, the pump is operated with the adjusted program. Switching
takes place with a delay of 1 - 2 minutes.
The pump may as well be operated without the
OceanProp Control
. If the pump cable is directly
connected to the transformer, the pump is constantly operated at maximum power.
Running noises
are inevitable with pumps of this power category when operated at full power. If the pump is
operated in mode 1 or night operation in weakly lit or dark environment, the pump only runs with
5,000 l/h and is nearly soundless.

The table shows:
0 = one step (15 sec.) with min. capacity ( 5,000 l/h)
1 = one step (15 sec.) with max. capacity (15,000 l/h)
The change between min. and max. capacity is smoothly
during 15 sec.
Example: mode 3:
4 steps = 4 x 15 sec. = 60 sec. with min. capacity,
followed by
4 steps = 60 sec. with max. capacity.
