Vortech Wireless Driver Upgrade

The Vortech Wireless Driver Upgrade The MP40 Wireless Upgrade is only available through Aquarium Specialty. Please see the information below on how to upgrade the Vortech MP40 pump. ABOUT THE WIRELESS UPGRADE The VorTech Wireless Wave Driver will upgrade any MP40 model pump feature wireless wave simulations. It only requires that four screws be removed from the lid of the MP40 driver box, and the motor’s plug gently removed and plugged into the new Wireless Wave Driver board. Lastly, the lid is gently snapped in place and your pump is now wave controllable. Multiple pumps on Wireless Wave Drivers can interact with one another to provide random and pulsing wave modes. Wave Modes Reef Crest Random Mode- Set the pump to the maximum desired speed and the VorTech Wireless Wave Driver automatically randomizes the flow throughout your tank. The pump will rapidly vary from one speed to another to simulate the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment. Lagoonal Random Mode- Set the pump to the maximum desired speed and the VorTech Wireless Wave Driver automatically randomizes the flow throughout your tank. The pump will vary slowly from one speed to another to simulate a calmer, lagoonal reef environment. Pulse Mode-When entered into pulse mode, you will be able to pulse your VorTech pump at various frequencies to create standing surface and sub-surface waves within your aquarium. You can adjust both the maximum pulse speed and frequency. Sync Mode- When entered into Sync Mode, your VorTech will automatically sync with the other pumps in your aquarium. Sync Mode can be used to sync in either random modes or in pulse mode. When syncing two pumps in Pulse Mode, the pumps can be placed on the same side of the aquarium to create large standing waves in your tank. Anti-Sync Mode- When entered into Anti-Sync Mode, pumps will pulse in an inverse timing cycle to a master pump. Every time the master pump is at the maximum speed of cycle, the pumps entered into Anti-Sync Mode will be at the minimum speed of the cycle, and vice-versa. Place these pumps on the opposite side of the tank as a master pump to create tidal currents within your aquarium. Feed Mode With the touch of a button, the VorTech enters into feed mode and all pumps shut down for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium. Battery Backup Mode The Wireless Wave Driver can also be used with the battery backup accessory. What tools are needed to perform this swap? Only a screw driver is needed to swap your old driver for the new Wireless Wave Driver. With the VorTech pump turned OFF, remove the four black screws from the metal lid of your old driver box. Carefully remove the motor plug from the driver board by pulling gently on the plug itself. DO NOT PULL on the motor’s cables or you risk damaging your pump. Once the motor is safely disconnected from the driver board, place the board and box lid aside for return to Aquarium Specialty. Open the new Wireless Wave Driver packaging and carefully plug the motor cable into the driver board. DO NOT power the board yet. Route the motor cable through the grommet hole and slide the grommet in place on the new driver box. Once everything is aligned properly, securely snap the box cover onto the base. The driver can now be powered on according to your owner’s manual.
