1 Introduction
Congratulations for purchasing your new
iks aquastar midi
aquarium computer! You now
have at your fingertips an advanced system, of modular construction, that will fulfil all your
requirements for the automatic supervision and control of significant water- and lighting
values for both for fresh- and sea-water aquariums. This system enables you to monitor
and control the lighting, temperature, and pH-value (or redox value) in your tank cheaply.
But as well as this, the
iks aquastar midi
provides you with a whole range of addtional
functions to relieve you of some of the pressure of routine jobs, thus giving you more time
for a more enjoyable activity – enhancing the beauty of your aquarium.
Remarkable features are:
·
logical and
easy operation
.
·
Two displays:
A two-line LCD and a large LED display. So you can even see your
readings easily from a distance and in the dark.
·
You can connect up to two socket panels, with 4 sockets each, to the
iks aquastar midi
.
That means
8 controlled sockets
. These are also available in a variable-output
version for extremely realistic simulations.
·
With the
iks aquastar midi
you can programme up to 32
timer functions.
The shortest
switch interval is only 1 second long. This enables you, for example, to add minimal
amounts of trace elements evenly and automatically with the help of a proportioning
pump (such as the
iks Vario ND
). The proportioning pump
iks Vario MP 045
feeds an
amount of only 0,075 ml per second at its lowest setting.
·
The
interval functions
can be individually adjusted to suit your own requirements.
The
active and passive phases of the interval duration can be set separately from each
other.
·
The
night/day simulation
makes child's play of your aquarium's lighting and optimises
it too. You can use it to set a wide variety of lighting on- and off times. If the lighting you
use can be dimmed, you can simulate
sunrise and sunset
. This function even makes
the
fall in nocturnal values
possible (pH-value, temperature, current etc.).
·
The integrated
lunar-phase simulation
gives you everything you want. It involves the
real
simulation of moonlight, taking into account the duration as well as the intensity of
the light. It even allows you to simulate the lunar phase of a particular region, the
tropics for example!
·
There is also a very wide spectrum of possibilities for
current simulation
such as
pulsating waves
or
high tide/low tide.
No matter how large your aquarium is and
regardless of the shape it may have, this simulation function, thought out right down to
the last detail, makes it possible for you to create the optimum current for any tank.
You can control up to 8 pumps!
·
With a measure and control module, you can carry out
up to eight different control
processes
in the ‘‘
Profi
‘‘ programming level. An example: a socket, No. 1, is
connected to a tank-floor heating system that is activated at 25
°
C . if the temperature
continues to fall to, let’s say, 24,5
°
C, then the heating element connected to Socket
No. 2 is switched on. If the temperature in your tank becomes too hot then a ventilator /
cooling unit on Socket No. 3 can be activated at 27°C. In addition, different values for
day/night
and
summer/winter
can be set for all these functions.
·
Upper and / or lower alarm settings
can be allocated to
every control process
