5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Jebao SOW-4 Wavemaker offers various modes and adjustable settings for customized water flow.
5.1 Controlador passatview
The controller features a dial for power/speed adjustment, and buttons for mode selection and feed mode activation. LED indicators display the current speed and mode.
5.2 Ajust del cabal
The wavemaker has 8 different flow rates. Use the dial on the controller to increase or decrease the pump's output. Turn clockwise to increase flow, counter-clockwise to decrease.
5.3 Modes de funcionament
The SOW-4 supports various wave patterns and constant flow modes. Refer to the controller's specific button labels for cycling through available modes (e.g., W1, W2, Else, H, C modes). Each mode simulates different natural water movements.
5.4 One-Touch Feed Mode
Press the 'Feed' button on the controller to activate the feed mode. This will temporarily slow down or stop the pump for a period of approximately 10 minutes, allowing fish to feed without food being immediately dispersed by the current. The pump will automatically resume its previous operation after the 10-minute period.
5.5 Master/Slave Wireless Mode
For larger aquariums or more complex flow patterns, two or more SOW wavemakers can be synchronized using the Master/Slave wireless mode. Designate one controller as the 'Master' and others as 'Slave' units. The Slave units will mimic the Master's settings, creating coordinated water movement. Consult the controller's specific instructions for pairing procedures.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your wavemaker.
- Cleaning the Impeller: Periodically remove the pump from the aquarium and disassemble the impeller housing. Clean the impeller and its chamber of any debris, algae, or calcium buildup. A soft brush and warm water can be used. For stubborn calcium deposits, a mild vinegar solution may be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
