- Dirije ekspozisyon: Shows current mode, power intensity (Watt), and wave frequency (Gear).
- Intensity Buttons (+/-): Adjust the power output (flow intensity) of the wave maker.
- Bouton mòd (M): Cycles through the available flow modes.
- Frequency Adjustment Knob: Fine-tunes wave frequencies in Pulse and Tidal modes.
- Feeding Button (F/Feed Stop): Activates a 10-minute pause for feeding. Press again to resume normal operation.
Mòd koule:
The wave maker supports four distinct flow modes to replicate various aquatic environments:
- Constant Flow: Provides a steady, continuous water flow. Ideal for general circulation.
- Batman kè: Generates rhythmic pulses of water flow, simulating wave action. Wave frequency is adjustable.
- Tidal: Creates alternating high and low flow periods, mimicking tidal movements. Wave frequency is adjustable.
- Turbulent (Random Mode): Produces unpredictable and chaotic water movement, simulating natural reef conditions.
