For your safety, please read this document before using this product for the first time. Keep these operation instructions so you can have access to this information at all times.
Safety General Safety Read before using this product! When used in any aquariums and ponds this device should be plugged into a GFI socket with no more than 30mA power. If persons are in the aquarium or pond the pump must be turned off. ...
Prevention of electric shock: The plug should be freely accessible after the pump is operating Before starting a new pump please have an expert check that: grounding, fuses, and interruptors are operational according to the requirements of local energy provider ...
Application The hydro wizard is used to generate laminar flows in aquariums, ponds or other bodies of water. The energy efficient movement of water is a basic function. This eliminates dead zones in the water. With the controller it is possible to generate wave simulations, in which both wave height and length can be adjusted.
Alternative hardware for attaching the pump can be ordered from Panta Rhei directly. The dimensions for attachment can be found on page 35 The hydro wizard generates very high axial forces. In addition to this the inertia of the moving water will generate further forces acting on the mount.

Outer magnets For the installation of the magnets on the outside we suggest to place the magnet against the glass far away from the pump (1) and then slide it over to the final position (2). Directly placing the magnet in the final position can damage the glass, or injure your fingers! The exterior magnets are not designed for use in the aquarium.

Power Motor Begin with a very low flow, and carefully watch the effects of the laminar flow in your aquarium (are plants sucked in, decoration knocked over?). If needed reposition the pump or reduce the output power Choosing the wrong wave length (resonance) in any aquarium can cause severe damage and even break the tank.
Installation and removal During installation and removal always pull the plug. The stator is attached to the front of the housing with a bayonet lock. To remove it spin it clockwise and pull it forward. To change the impeller use an Allan key (metric 4mm).

Operation Initial start up After the hydro wizard is plugged in for the first time you must set the language, time and date. These settings can be changed later in the info menu Selecting the mode Select the desired mode in the main menu, in the change mode screen.
Wave mode The wave mode is used to generate waves in the aquarium. After changing into the wave mode you can change the parameters in the settings menu or the quick change menu from the info screen. If the pump is stopped (STOP button in the info or menu screen is blinking) your settings will take effect when the pump is restarted after you push the STOP button again.

To find the ideal frequency in your aquarium select “find frequency” in the settings menu. Now select the maximum flow strength. The wave frequency will then be lowered slowly. When the waves have reached an optimal frequency it can be accepted by pushing “select” on the display.
Connecting to the Panta Rhei BUS Proceed as follows to connect several power supplies together: 1. Remove the protective caps fro the sockets 2. Connect one power supply to the next as shown in the figure below. Each socket can be used for "in" or "out" so the order in which they are connected is not important 3.

There are four options for the BUS connection: „Aus“, „Sync“, „Slave“ „Master“ When connecting several power supplies, one must act as the Master. gewählt werden. The controller of this unit will control the others (depending on their option setting). If a controller/power supply is configured as Master, a small crown will be in the time display.

Application example: The following examples are shown with just two pumps to simplify the diagrams, but the same programming applies for any number of connected pumps. The Panta Rhei BUS system makes adding additional units very easy. ® Current and wave mode with several hydro wizard In this example the parallel usage of two hydro wizard®...

Back and forth wave action: I this example two opposing hydro wizard® are used to generate a wave. hydro wizard® A should run in the first half of the time segment with 100% power, and hydro wizard® B in the second segment with the same power.
Page 26
Tide Simulation: In this example hydro wizard® are used to simulate the natural flow of tides. hydro wizard® A will run with one set of parameters from midnight to noon, while hydro wizard® B will run from noon until midnight. To achieve this, the time must be synchronized in the SYNC mode.
Cleaning function The cleaning function will help to clean off debris (like plants) that has stuck to the intake of the pump. To achieve this, the pump will spin in the opposite direction for a short time. The cleaning function is reached from the main menu.

The menu selection “password” is used to protect the settings from unauthorized persons. By activating this mode a password must be entered to change from the info screen to the menu screen. The quick change menu to change the settings of the flow mode can no longer be accessed.
Cleaning and Maintenance The hydro wizard operates largely maintenance free. Should it increase its energy consumption the cause is usually calcium deposits on the bearings. Depending on the water chemistry this effect can vary greatly. To clean the bearings they must be submerged in a vinegar solution. ...
Disposal and Enviroment The pump should not be discarded with the regular trash, it should be disposed of according to local regulations, please check with your local authority. [RICHTLINIE 2002/96/EG]...
