Manual Operation
The fleece-mat can be manually advance by pressing the "wind" button
on the side of the drive-unit. The length of fleece-mat advanced will be
according to how long the button is pressed, however the actual length
is recorded and is included in the hourly dispensing log.
A manual advance of the same length as the pre-set auto-advance can
be given at any time by selecting the manual advance option from the
head settings page. (Homepage>settings page>manual advance) This
can be used to as a test to confirm the proper functioning of the unit.
Mat Advance (length)
The drive-unit can be set to auto-advance the fleece-mat from a
minimum of 0.5cm – 1.0cm / 0.2 – 0.4" up to the full length of the filter
chamber.
The default preset is for 2.0 – 2.5cm / 0.8 – 1.0". It is recommended to
leave this default setting for the first few days of operation, until the
average daily usage settles down to a regular value. Once the daily
average is established the mat advance length can be customized to
give the desired frequency of advances.
To customize the Mat advance length: Homepage>settings page>more
settings>Mat advance. Remember to press the "Save" button to
implement your changes.

Scheduled Advance
The scheduled advance feature enables you to preset a long fleece-
mat advance at a specific time every day. For example, if the average
daily usage is 36cm and you set a scheduled advance of 12cm you can
assume that the ReefMat will not need to advance the flee-mat again
for about 8 hours. This is useful if you want to ensure a specific period
without any noise, such as during the night for a tank located in a
bedroom. This feature is only available once the daily average has been
established. To activate the Scheduled Advance: Homepage>settings
page>more settings>Scheduled advance. Remember to press the
"Save" button to implement your changes.
End of Roll monitor
The end of roll monitor lets you know a preset number of days before
the roll is due to run out, based on the daily average consumption.
The default value is set at 5 days. This can be changed from:
Homepage>settings page>more settings>End of Roll monitor.
Remember to press the "Save" button to implement your changes.
Editing ReefMat Drive-unit position
If during initial setup of the ReefMat the wrong position of the Drive-unit
was selected, this setting can be changed from Homepage>settings
page>more settings>Drive-unit position. Remember to press the
"Save" button to implement your changes.
