Off the northwestern corner of Long Caye, the main reef trend turns abruptly to the east. ![]() This dive site is named appropriately: The Aquarium! Explore unique topography NOTE: Neptune Systems recommends you re-calibrate the pumps every 100 hours of operation or any time you change to a liquid with a substantially different viscosity.Posted at 15:07h in News by Neptune's Cove BelizeĪs you lean over the side of the boat, you can already see the bright colors, sandy bottoms, and fish everywhere. Repeat the above steps for the other pump.Your reading is from the meniscus and precision is important.Note that the liquid in the cylinder curves upward at the walls of the cylinder.It’s important to view it directly level with the liquid level- don’t view it at an angle.Please note when reading from the graduated cylinder.The pump will run for 90 seconds attempting to dose 40 ml, then stop.Īfter it stops, note how much water is in the graduated cylinder after the 90 seconds and enter that value on the Display Screen. On the Display Screen press ‘OK’ to start Calibrating the Pump. Move the ‘OUT’ cup away and now place the outgoing tubing into your graduated cylinder. We are going to prepare to calibrate the pump. Now, hold down the manual priming button on the DŌS and watch your pump start to transfer water from one cup to to just about the end of the outbound tube. Keep at it till liquid flows freely into your empty cup and there are no air bubbles in the tubing line. The Display Screen will instruct you to prime the pump. On your Apex Display Screen navigate to:.Place the ‘IN’ tubing into the cup with water and then place the ‘OUT’ tubing into the empty cup. Also have your included graduated cylinder handy. Get two cups and fill one of them with water (tap is fine). Visually inspect your tubing and length as well as the compression fitting for each tube. Place the compression fitting on your measured tubing and then connect it to DŌS pumps. A good method to securing the tubing in your aquarium or sump is using the Neptune Systems Magnetic Probe Rack (MPR). Measure the length of tubing that will be needed to connect your DŌS pumps from your additive container and aquarium connectors. Now that you have a good idea of where your DŌS will be mounted we can measure and cut the tubing to the appropriate length. Remove the compression fitting from your pump cover by turning it counter-clockwise.įour meters of tubing was included with your DŌS purchase. Moving forward and in the configuration of the DŌS pumps, we will always assume the the tubing coming from your additive container is connected to the “in” and tubing going to your aquarium will be connected to the “out.” While the pump can run forward or reverse, typically it will run “in” to “out.” So “in” will be liquid coming from a container and “out” will be going to your aquarium. On your DŌS pump cover and peristaltic assembly there is an “In” and and “Out” label. ![]() PLEASE NOTE: Neptune Systems always recommends that all equipment be mounted above the water line and/or with appropriate drip loops! The DOS can pump up to 24′ vertical feet without any loss of head pressure. ![]() Again, in certain equipment failure scenarios, this could possibly cause an unintended gravity siphon. It should be just above your water level. We also recommend that your DŌS tubing never be submersed in your tank. Although extremely unlikely, this could cause a gravity siphon in certain equipment failure scenarios. It is of the utmost importance that your fluid reservoirs be placed below your DŌS module. The DŌS pumps were designed offset so tubing would not kink if multiple DŌS modules were stacked on top of each other. Easy punch out mounting holes on the back so that it can be mounted inside your cabinetry or wall.Use these for supplementing your DOS’s schedule with addition amounts. ![]() The LED status light will turn blue when the pump is running. If you choose to plug into your Energy Bar be sure that outlet mode is set to ON.Ĭonnect the 6′ aquabus cable to your DŌS module and any available aquabus port on another Neptune Systems’ module.Īfter the initial connections have been made, the status light on the DŌS will glow orange.įor manual rotation control of each motor there are two priming buttons located on the center of DŌS.įeel free to test the motors are in operating condition by pressing the priming buttons on Pump 1 (Left) and Pump 2 (Right). It does not need to be plugged into an Energy Bar outlet. Connect the 24V Power Source to a wall outlet and your DŌS module.
