PRODUCT INFORMATION
This section gives you a brief overview of the components of your ReefKeeper.
Remote Display
• Eight LEDs along the bottom of the face plate correspond to the eight available channels on the power
controller, indicating which channels are currently turned on.
• Three buttons along the right allow you to configure your ReefKeeper as well as enter Feed Mode and view the
night/day mode status.
• The remote display receives its power via the cable connected to the power controller. In the event of a power
failure, a built-in battery allows the clock and settings to be preserved.
Power Controller
• The power controller looks like a power strip and plugs into a 3 prong wall socket.
• Each of the eight channels can be configured to run any of the ReefKeeper functions.
• Each channel can handle no more than 6 Amps; the entire unit can handle no more than 15 Amps.
Temperature Probe
• The temperature probe plugs into the power controller via the 6 pin connector located on the side of the box.
• Once calibrated, the probe is accurate to +/- 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit.

INSTALLATION
Power Controller Installation
The power controller should be mounted in or around your aquarium cabinet close to a source of power. The power cable
connected to the power controller is 6 feet long; plan distance from an AC wall plug accordingly, do not use extension
cords or splitters to power the ReefKeeper. There are four mounting holes, two on each side of the module. Use these to
mount the power controller in a convenient location within 5 feet of where you would like to mount the remote display
and within 6 feet of where you would like to install the water temperature probe.
When running any wires to the ReefKeeper, be sure to use drip loops so the water does not damage the ReefKeeper..
