WAVE switches automatically between day and night program. This is controlled by a photoelectric
cell positioned in the front plate of the device („Sensor"). Therefore, WAVE should not be placed in
a twilight zone. If the WAVE is placed in the dark (cabinet), it can be supplied with an external
sensor. This sensor is placed in a way that it is illuminated by aquarium light. Option: external
light sensor, art.-No: 210.41. During the night, the status LED flashes green every 2 sec.
Feeding break
Strong water movements interfere during the feeding of fish and especially feeding of invertebrates
with natural or synthetic plancton.Those movements can be interrupted by using the „PAUSE"
(break) function of WAVE. When pressing „PAUSE", all 4 pumps (powerheads and filtration pump)
are switched off for 10 minutes. It creates a phase without any currents; the animals get time to
eat. During the feeding break, the Status LED flasehes red every 2 sec.
If necessary, the break can be shortened (see „Starting").
