Instruccions de configuració
- Desembalatge: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the pump unit, controller, power adapter (input 100V-240V), and magnetic mount.
- Muntatge de la bomba:
- Identify the desired location for the pump inside your aquarium. Choose a spot that allows for optimal water circulation without disturbing substrate or delicate corals.
- Place the pump unit against the inner surface of the aquarium glass.
- Align the external magnetic mount with the pump unit on the outer surface of the glass. The strong magnets will secure the pump in place.
- Ensure the glass thickness is within the specified limits for your model (e.g., up to 8mm for SW-2/SW-4, up to 15mm for SW-8, up to 19mm for SW-15).

- Positioning for Flow:
- The pump features 360° adjustable flow. Rotate the pump head to direct the water flow as desired to create optimal circulation and wave patterns. Avoid directing strong flow directly at corals or fish.

- Potència de connexió:
- Connect the pump cable securely to the controller.
- Connect the power adapter to the controller, then plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet (100V-240V).
- Ensure all connections are secure and dry before powering on.
Instruccions de funcionament
The Jebao SW-series wave pump controller allows for various modes and adjustments to simulate natural aquatic environments.
Funcions del controlador:
- Controlador de VELOCITAT: Adjusts the flow rate/speed of the pump. Turn clockwise for faster flow, counter-clockwise for slower flow.
- Botó MODE: Cycles through different wave patterns and operational modes.
- W1 (Wave Mode): Creates a wave pattern. Adjust the SPEED knob to change wave intensity.
- W2 (Sine Wave Mode): Generates a smoother, sine-like wave.
- ELSE (Random Flow Mode): Produces a random, turbulent flow, mimicking natural ocean currents.
- H (Constant Flow Mode): Maintains a steady, constant flow at the set speed.
- C (Shift to Flow Mode): Alternates flow between two pumps (if multiple pumps are synced), creating a dynamic back-and-forth motion.
- PUMP Button: Toggles the pump on/off without affecting the controller's power state.
- Botó d'encendre: Turns the entire unit (controller and pump) on/off.
- WI-LE LOCK Button: Used for wireless synchronization and locking settings.
- Press and hold to initiate wireless pairing between multiple pumps.
- Short press to lock current settings, preventing accidental changes.
- SENSOR DE LLUM: Detects ambient light levels, allowing for automatic night mode operation (reduced flow during darkness) to provide a calmer environment.
- MASTER/SLAVE Switch: Designates a controller as either the master (controls other synced pumps) or slave (receives commands from a master) for multi-pump setups.
Wireless Synchronization:
To synchronize multiple Jebao SW-series pumps, ensure all pumps are connected to their respective controllers and powered on. Designate one controller as 'Master' and others as 'Slave' using the switch. Follow the instructions for the WI-LE LOCK button to pair them. This allows for coordinated wave patterns across your aquarium, creating a more natural and dynamic water flow.
Manteniment
Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and extending the lifespan of your Jebao wave pump. Neglecting cleaning can lead to reduced flow, increased noise, and premature wear.
- Desmuntatge: The pump is designed for easy, tool-free disassembly. Gently twist and pull apart the components as shown in the diagram below.
- Neteja:
- Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove loose debris.
- Use a soft brush (e.g., a toothbrush) to remove any algae, detritus, or mineral deposits from the impeller, impeller housing, and pump cage.
- For stubborn calcium or mineral deposits, a mild vinegar solution (e.g., 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water) can be used for soaking, followed by a thorough rinse with fresh water.
- Remuntatge: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before reassembling. Align the components carefully and snap them back into place, ensuring the impeller spins freely.

Tip: Regular cleaning can effectively extend the life of the pump and maintain its efficiency.
Resolució de problemes
- Pump not turning on:
- Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into both the controller and a functional wall outlet.
- Ensure the POWER button on the controller is pressed to turn on the unit.
- Verify the PUMP button is engaged to activate the pump itself.
- Weak or inconsistent flow:
- The impeller or pump housing may be clogged with debris, algae, or mineral deposits. Perform a thorough cleaning as described in the Maintenance section.
- Check the SPEED knob setting; increase the speed if necessary.
- Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not drawing air, which can reduce efficiency.
- Soroll excessiu:
- Noise often indicates debris in the impeller. Clean the pump thoroughly.
- Ensure the pump is securely mounted and not vibrating against the aquarium glass. Adjust its position if needed.
- Check for any loose parts or improper reassembly after cleaning.
- Wireless synchronization issues:
- Ensure all controllers are within range of each other and set to the correct Master/Slave configuration.
- Repeat the wireless pairing process using the WI-LE LOCK button as per operating instructions.
- Check for any potential interference from other wireless devices.

Consells per a l'usuari
- Col·locació òptima: Experiment with pump placement and direction to achieve the best flow patterns for your specific tank inhabitants and aquascape. Observe how corals and fish react to the flow.
- Night Mode Utilization: Make full use of the light sensor for automatic night mode. This reduces flow during dark hours, providing a calmer environment for fish to rest and mimicking natural diurnal cycles.
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically check the pump for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive buildup of algae or detritus to prevent issues before they become severe.
- Gestió de cables: Secure power cables neatly to prevent accidental dislodgement, damage, or entanglement with other aquarium equipment.
- Introducció gradual: When first introducing the wave pump, start with a lower flow setting and gradually increase it over a few days to allow your tank inhabitants to acclimate to the new water movement.
