• Wāhanga Whakahaere Matua: Houses the electronics, power outlets (DRAIN and FILL), LED display, and control buttons (MUTE, MANUAL, FILL, DRAIN, AUTO).
• HI Sensor: High water level sensor.
• LO Sensor: Pūoko taumata wai iti.
• Nga Waea Hiko: For connecting the unit to a power source and pumps to the unit.

4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

The Ortis Automatic Water Level Controller is designed for easy installation without plumbing modifications. All necessary installation tools are included.

4.1 Te Whakaeke i te Waeine Mana

• Choose a dry, accessible location near your aquarium, tank, or pool.
• Use the provided screws and wall anchors to mount the control unit securely to a wall or cabinet. Alternatively, use the included adhesive pads for temporary or non-permanent mounting.

4.2 Te Whakanohonga Pūoko

The HI and LO sensors detect water levels. Their placement determines the operating range for filling and draining. The sensors are adjustable from 1/4 inch to 20 inches.

• Attach the HI and LO sensors to the inside wall of your aquarium or tank using the provided suction cups.
• Position the LO sensor at the desired minimum water level. When the water drops below this sensor, the FILL pump will activate (in appropriate modes).
• Position the HI sensor at the desired maximum water level. When the water reaches this sensor, the FILL pump will deactivate, and the DRAIN pump will activate (in appropriate modes).
• Ensure the sensors are securely attached and their cables are routed safely to the control unit.

4.3 Connecting Pumps

• Connect your refill pump to the "FILL" outlet on the control unit.
• Connect your drain pump to the "DRAIN" outlet on the control unit.
• Ensure pumps are compatible with the controller's maximum capacity (Max 2Hp, 16A).

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

The controller offers four operating modes: Automatic Water Change, Fill, Drain, and Manual.

5.1 Kōwhiringa Aratau

Use the buttons on the control unit to select the desired mode:

• MOTO: Activates the automatic water change function.
• WHAKAKIA: Activates the automatic water refilling function.
• DREA: Activates the automatic water draining function.
• MANUAL: Allows manual control of the connected pumps.

5.2 Automatic Water Change Mode

In AUTO mode, the controller manages both draining and refilling to perform a water change. The system will drain water until the LO sensor is exposed, then refill until the HI sensor is reached.

• Pehia te AUTO button to initiate an automatic water change cycle.
• The DRAIN pump will activate until the water level drops below the LO sensor.
• Once the LO sensor is clear, the FILL pump will activate until the water level reaches the HI sensor.
• The cycle completes when the HI sensor is covered.

5.3 Fill Mode

In FILL mode, the controller maintains the water level by activating the refill pump when the water drops below the LO sensor and deactivating it when the water reaches the HI sensor.

• Pehia te WHAKAKIA pātene.
• The FILL pump will activate if the water level is below the LO sensor.
• The FILL pump will deactivate when the water level reaches the HI sensor.

Figure 5.2: Illustration of the fill operation. The pump turns on when water is below the LO sensor and turns off when it reaches the HI sensor.

5.4 Drain Mode

In DRAIN mode, the controller activates the drain pump when the water level reaches the HI sensor and deactivates it when the water drops below the LO sensor. This mode is also suitable for sump pump applications.

• Pehia te TARERE pātene.
• The DRAIN pump will activate if the water level is above the HI sensor.
• The DRAIN pump will deactivate when the water level drops below the LO sensor.

5.5 Aratau Whakahaere Ā-ringa

The MANUAL mode allows you to manually activate or deactivate the connected pumps.

• Pehia te MANUAL pātene.
• Further presses of the FILL or DRAIN buttons will toggle the respective pumps on or off, overriding sensor input.
• Return to an automatic mode (AUTO, FILL, DRAIN) to resume sensor-based operation.

5.6 Alarm and Mute Function
