1.3 Safety instructions
The Dupla pH-Control Pro is designed exclusively for use in enclosed rooms. All electronic components of the device
must only be operated whilst they are free from defects. Should the mains supply be damaged, please please return it
to your dealer for repair. Continued operation of the device may cause fatal injury from electric shock. Ensure that the
control unit and connection strip do not come into contact with water.

Technical products must only be operated as supplied. Electronic components must not be modified in any way, and
the leads must not be shortened. Covers or housings must not be opened. If the product is damaged cease useage or
shut down immediatly by pulling the mains plug.

1.4 Assembly advice
Control units
The reverse side of the control unit has recesses that are used to lock the fastening rail which is fixed to the wall or
the aquarium cabinet with the screw set. The cable to the control unit has a USB connector so that holes of control
unit dimensions do not need to be sawn out of the terrarium cabinet. The USB connector is not designed for a computer connection. The control unit has a 2 metre cable which permits installation outside the aquarium cabinet as well
as an unobstructed view of all values and status modes.
Connection strips
The connection strip should be screwed to the back or side panel inside the aquarium cabinet to ensure that there is
no contact with the unit in the event of water leakage.
pH-Eletrode
The Dupla pH-Control Pro system is equipped with a BNC connector for pH electrodes.
2. Description of the basic functions
2.1 Function monitoring of external devices
The housing is fitted with LEDs. In operating mode this indicates the active control of the external device.
2.2 Safety shutdown during programming
When entering into the programming mode, both slots are deactivated for safety reasons.
2.3 Safeguard function
To protect electronic components, a delay of 60 seconds is set between 2 switching states before the respective slot
becomes active again.
2.4 Interval reset
Irrespective of the time of day, all programmed intervals start when the device is switched on or the menu is quit.
2.5 Return function
The Dupla pH-Control Pro automatically returns to the operating mode when no button has been pressed for a period
of 90 seconds while in the programming mode.
2.6 Memory function
To safeguard against loss of data in the event of a power failure, the Dupla pH-Control Pro stores all set values. The
unit will continue to calculate the time for up to five hours after such an event, so the clock does not need to be reset
after brief power failures.

3. Description of the programmable functions
Slot 1 can only be programmed for pH control. Slot 2 can only be programmed for timer switch. In programming
mode, the functions can be configured in the following sequence.
3.1 Clock programming
3.1.1 Time setting
The factory presets the time at
. The time setting however is not cleared during a resetting procedure.
3.2 pH programming
3.2.1 pH set point
The pH set point can be adjusted within the limits of 4.0 - 9.9. If the measured pH value is outside the display range,
values lower than 4.0 are displayed as
the pH channel is switched off. The pH-controlled CO2 fertilisation is carried out through permanent measuring by a
connected Dupla pH electrode and switching of a connected Dupla CO2 magnetic valve with a switch hysteresis (the
difference between the switching point and the triggering point) of 0.1 pH and a control accuracy is +/- 0.1. Switch
hystereris (the difference between the switching point and the triggering point) is pH 0.1, and the control accuracy is
+/- 0.1 (reference value). In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement and therefore the control circuit, the Dupla
pH-Control Pro provides an optional six-week calibration memory function.
Caution: If no pH electrode is connected to the Dupla pH-Control Pro, so that the BNC socket is open, fictitious
pH values will be displayed.
, values higher than 9.9 are displayed as . Outside of these limits,

This enables interruption of the supply of CO2, controlled by a magnetic valve, into your aquarium during the night if
desired. The beginning and end times of the interruption during the night can be choosen after programming the pH
Set point.
3.2.3 pH alarm
A visual alarm indicated by flashing
if the temperature exceeds or drops below the programmed desired pH values.
The factory presetting is , which means no alarm. The alarm window can be set between a pH 0.1 and 4.0 deviation from the set point.
3.2.4 Deactivation/activation of the audible pH alarm
The audible alarm can be switched
or . The factory setting is , as otherwise an alarm could be triggered immediately when the system is first put into service when the electrode is still located outside the aquarium or
not yet calibrated.
3.2.5 Calibrate pH electrode
The factory setting of the calibration points are pH 7, pH 4 and pH 9, the calibration sequence is first pH 7, then pH 4
or alternatively pH 9. The calibration process can be cancelled by pressing the ▲ and ▼ buttons simultaneously.

3.2.6 Calibration reminder function
With this feature enabled, every six-weeks CAL and flash on the display as a reminder to check the pH electrode
calibration. For a period of 10 seconds you will hear a beep every 2 seconds. This will be repeated every hour.
If you prefer not to carry out a calibration, the memory display clears after activating any button and reappears in
another 6 weeks.
In order to calibrate the pH electrode, enter programming mode by pressing the button and follow item 5.2.4 of
the instructions.
To disable of the calibration memory function, continue to scroll through the menu items and set the function to
.
3.3 Timer programming
3.3.1 Setting the timer control mode
As an alternative to temperature regulation, the second slot can be used to control external devices via a timer switch
with a one-second control interval. Selection is between (external device at slot 2 is permanently activated),
(automatic modus) and (interval mode).
3.3.2 Programme turn-on and turn-off times
If Automatic Mode is selected up to 8 turn-on/turn-off times can be programmed. (The Dupla pH-Control Pro has
an automatic sorting function which will re-arrange the time periods into the correct sequential order when exiting
programming mode.)
3.3.3 Programme interval control
If the Interval mode is selected external devices are switched on for a minimum of 1 second (maximum 23 hrs., 59
min. and 59 sec.) and switched off for a minimum of 30 minutes (maximum 96 hrs. and 59 min.).
3.4 Manual activation/deactivation
Both slots can be turned on and off manually by combination of buttons to be pressed.
3.5 Display light
Factory presetting is an automatic adaptation of the display light. After pressing any button the display light is
switched on. When no button has been pressed for 120 seconds, the display light is automatically dimmed down. It is
possible to change from automatic light dimming to full illumination of the display.
