[Hendersonracing]

I just bought A 7095 CONTROLLER...How do I work the night and the moonlights with the sensor??? any help apppreciated..

I have 2 led blue for moonlight! Id like to set to were it will slow down at night!!

As long as the LED/sensor on the Tunze doesn"t see light then the 7095 will go to night/calm mode.

do I set it on night or moonlight mode???and does this do it automatically or do I have to set it?

 

[Hendersonracing]

what does the moonlights do????do I turn it on and when the lights go out it slows the system down a little...

Joe,

Night Mode = When the photocell sees no light - it will slow the Tunzes down for a calm night
Moon Light = It will turn the LED on thats built into the Photocell - it will act as a moonlight.

I have both enabled.


take care,

marco

If the display lights are on the controller then its enabled.

cool thanks....will the nightmode work in any setting...pulse, interval1,2 ect?

 

[lisaFL]

AFAIK - yes.

Nightmode sets the pumps to the lower knob settings and stops the pulsing of the pumps, whatever the bottom knob on each channel is set to is night mode.

For the moonlight feature, it just turns on the LED on the end of the photocell. To get the best coverage place the photocell/LED on the side of the tank with a very slight downward angle. It should be above the water surface. The LED will brighten and dim simulate moon phases.

thanks alot...so the bottom buttons is the night mode + & -

 

[rvitko]

Yes, if you set them to 30% at night the flow will be a non pulsing 30%.

Roger, I ordered a single controller and a photo cell, the controller works well I just have not had a chance to put on the photo cell yet.

Does my photo cell also have the LED? If so when should I install it to mimic moon cycle? My tank is near a window which does not get in sunlight but does get in moonlight, I want to match the actual moon cycle as closely as I can.

Thanks.

 

[rvitko]

It does not have the LED.

 

[jacmyoung]

Well I didn't see one either. Guess I will have to stay with the natural moon cycle then. Thank you.

I also use the 1 watt leds for blue moonlights!!
