Aqua Medic aquaniveau Mode D'emploi page 5

The aquaniveau level controller is a quality instrument. It has been specifically designed for aquaristic
purposes.
The level controller has two different operating modes:
- aquaniveau with one float switch
- aquaniveau with two float switches
A changeover switch allows the change between the two versions.
The aquaniveau is supplied with a time delay that guarantees a minimum running time of 15 seconds for the
pump. This prevents too frequent switchings and protects the pump.
Note: In case of a refill directly from the reverse osmosis unit, from the water tap or from very big storage
tanks there is a risk that an overflow of the aquarium occurs when the unit fails (blockade of the floaters, defect
of the aquaniveau or improper close of the solenoid valve). In case of salt water, the salt content may decrease
to a dangerous level.
Power requirements: 100 – 240 V/50 Hz
Output: max. 200 W
aquaniveau
It contains an automatic refill that adds evaporated water from a storage tank. This automatic replacement has
been proven especially in salt water aquaria to avoid variations in salt density which are disadvantageous for
the aquarium population.
But also for fresh water aquaria without any cover or aquaria with open filter tanks (i. e. „trickle filters") should
be equipped with an automatic refill system to increase the operation safety. The refill water is either added via
an appropriate pump from a separate storage tank or via a reverse osmosis unit which is controlled by a solenoid
valve. The latter is only recommended if quantities of more than ten litres of water per refilling process are
required.
The aquaniveau has two operating modes:
1. Operation with one float switch (automatic refill without a switch to protect the pump from running dry).
2. Operation with two float switches (automatic refill and safety switch which protects the pump from running
dry while refilling from a storage tank).
Operating mode of aquaniveau with one float switch
Connect the float switch to the upper socket sensor 1. Plug the main plug in and the LED „power" lights up.

Put the changeover switch in position 1.
Fix the float switch with the holder in the filter tank. The floater marks the maximum water level at its upper

position. In this position, the LED „sensor 1" has to go off. If this LED lights up, remove the holding clips of
the floater, turn the floater round and fix the clips again at the bottom end of the float switch.
Plug the pump or the solenoid valve into the socket of the aquaniveau. The pump or the valve will be

switched on when the floater sinks during falling water level. The LED „sensor 1" and „output" light up.
