Thank you for choosing the SICCE XStream SDC The XStream SDC propeller pump
is the latest addition to the cloud based family of interconnected Wi-Fi aquarium
devices introduced by SICCE. It is ideal to be used in advanced marine tanks to
create the most natural flow patterns. With the FREE download of ContrALL, the end
user can choose between several preset programs, create a custom program or

IT

schedule to suit the needs of their aquarium. As an option to controlling through the
app, the water flow rate of the XStream SDC may also be adjusted directly using the
attached controller. XStream SDC has been designed and made in Italy to rigorous
quality standards on components and production.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read carefully.

XStream SDC range are made in conformity with the national and international
security laws. 1) Always isolate the pump from the mains electricity before installing
or carrying out any maintenance. Power to the pump must be supplied through
a Redidual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA. 2) This pump is designed to be used indoors and is not suitable
for any outdoor applications. 3) Before connecting the pump to the electricity
supply, check there are any damages on cord or plug. 4) The pump has a type
Z cable link. The cable and the plug cannot be substituted or repaired; in case
of damage of them replace the entire pump. 5) ATTENTION: do not operate any
appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it has been
dropped or damaged in any way. 6) Never operate the pump without water inside
the impeller chamber or with liquids at a temperature higher than 95° F / 35° C.

7) Do not use the pump with corrosive and abrasive liquids. 8) Do not use the
pump for uses different (i.e. in bathroom or other applications) to those for which
it has been designed. 9) The pump cannot be used by people with handicaps or
by children if they are not supervised by a person responsible for their safety. 10)
Avoid closeness with blades, sharp objects or other magnets to prevent accidental
injuries as the magnets of the support attract metal objects and other magnets with
high force. 11) The magnets can provoke permanent damages to electronic devices
and to other objects that are sensitive to magnetic field such as pacemakers, credit
cards and keys: always keep them at least 30 cm (12 inches) distance. 12) The
magnets could loose partially or completely their attracting power if exposed to
temperature higher than 50° C (122° F). 13) Always leave a drip-loop in the pump
cable to prevent water running down the cable and reaching the power source (pic.

1). 14) Avoid taking the pump by the cord during the installation or maintenance.

15) Do not try to attach directly the two magnets holder because the magnetic

attraction is very high. Hold them only on the external sides paying attention not to
put your hands or fingers in between.

INSTALLATION

To install XStream SDC Pump proceed as follows: 1) Check the pump for damage.

2) Clean the aquarium glass where the pump will be attached. 3) Disconnect 2

from 3 removing the separator magnet (pic. A1). 4) Place the antivibration rubber
case 1 on the magnet holder 3 (pic. A2). 5) Fully submerge the pump into the
water keeping it in vertical position to release air trapped in the rotor and prevent
some noise in the start up phase (pic. A3). 6) To avoid resonances and vibrations,
do not put the pump directly in contact with the lateral surfaces nearby. Do not
place the pump too close to sand and gravel at the bottom of the tank. 7) Place
the pump in the desired location with holder 3 and the anti-vibration rubber case
1 adherent to the glass (pic. A4). 8) Attach the external magnetic support 2 to the
tank at a 10 cm (3.93 inches) distance from the centre of the internal support 3
(pic. A5). Drag it until feeling of the opposite magnetic force. Position the centre of
the supports 2 and 3 on the same axis (pic. A6). ATTENTION: Strong magnets. Use
caution attaching the pump to the aquarium. Keep hands and fingers clear. 9) Turn
the pump so that the flow is directed where desired. 10) Connect the pump cable
to the controller’s one, taking care to match it correctly, and tighten the ring nut.

11) Insert the power supply JACK type, on the left-hand side of the controller (to
avoid errors, it does not enter the one on right). The right one has been designed to
insert the back up battery case (optional) (pic. B). 12) Connect it to the electricity
supply. 13) See the XStream SDC PROGRAMMING paragraph for pump operation.

HOW TO SET UP XStream SDC

Press and hold the button on the right (+) for 3“ to switch on the pump. As a test,
all the LEDs light up for few seconds. The pump starts at 50% of the operating
range and by pressing the (+) or (-) the flow of the pump can be increased or
decreased, the light intensity of the 5 LEDs will vary. The pump symbol illuminates
the color set with the CONTRALL app. The Wi-Fi symbol will flash blue once the
controller is configured and connected to the Wi-Fi network by CONTRALL app. If
the pump is controlled by CONTRALL, it will not be possible to change its operation
by controller. It will only be possible to switch it off by keeping the button on the
right (+) pressed for 3“.

HOW TO USE THE CONTROLLER XStream SDC

The Controller cannot be submersed into water and has to be taken close to the
tank avoiding accidental drops. It can be be placed on a surface, hung on the
cabinet or on the tank’s glass using the supplied base (with screws or double-sided
adhesive supplied) (pic. D). We suggest to leave a drip loop (pic. 1) in the Controller
and pump’s cable to prevent water running down and reaching the power source.
Handle the Controller with dry hands. The Controller can be used, regulating the
pump’s flow, only with XStream SDC made by SICCE and can be powered only by
the included AC/DC Adaptor. Any other use could damage this electronic device
making void the warranty.

BACK UP BATTERY

It is possible to connect to the controller, in the socket on the right, a pack of
batteries (NOT SUPPLIED*) that ensure the pump operation for up to 5 hours

(variable duration depending on the capacity of the batteries). If you decide to
equip XStream SDC with this additional protection system, you need to connect
the battery pack (3 x 3.7 V lithium batteries model 18650) to the appropriate
socket in the controller. During normal operation, the battery pack will be kept
charged by the controller itself and will enter in action when a temporary black out

IT

occurs, guaranteeing controller and pump operation for the estimated time. The
pump, regardless of the programs set, will go to 50% of the power to increase its
autonomy. At the same time, if the alerts have been activated in the CONTRALL
App profile and the connected router is still functioning, the lack of electrical power
will be notified. After a few minutes, the Wi-Fi module will turn off to extend the
batteries life. When the batteries life is about to run out, the pump will shut off to
prevent damage to them. When power is restored, everything will resume as before.

*In SICCE accessory range you can purchase the specific battery box with
a connection cable to plug in the controller. The batteries (3 lithium 3.7 V
model 18650) must be purchased separately from your dealer.
Controller WARRANTY: 2 years.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

For the periodic maintenance, unplug the pump from the electric outlet/socket and
remove the pump from the tank. Clean the pump and the rotor at regular intervals.
Lime build up or heavy detritus in the water may necessitate more frequent
cleaning. Remove the prefilter grid 8 from the pump 6 with light pressure to the
sides by pulling it down (pic. E1). Rotate the front counterclockwise and remove
the rotor 7 (pic. E2-E3). Carefully clean the pump’s components with fresh water
or using a soft brush with soap or vinegar. Rinse all parts well before returning the
pump to the tank. After cleaning, re-assemble all components. SICCE products are
designed for a long life and high, reliable service. Nevertheless, wear over time
can create a little noise even after regular maintenance. Replacements parts are
available.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE

1) Remove the plug from the electrical socket and then completely remove the

pump from the water. 2) Lift the lever slightly (pic. F1) and turn it 90° anticlockwise
(pic. F2). Pull to remove components 3 and 4 (pic. F3) from the back of the pump.

Remove the prefilter grid and the rotor kit (pic. E1-E3), with the aid of a pen,
push from the back towards the front to take out the ceramic bearing 5 (pic. F4).
Pay attention on his positioning to then replace it correctly (pic. F5). 3) Clean the
ceramic bearing 5 with a soft brush to remove any residues or incrustations of salt
or organic material, taking care not to remove it from the rubber. Re-assemble
everything correctly before reconnecting the pump to the electrical socket.
