  • Page 7: Application

    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.
  • Page 8: General Description

    General Description © hydro wizard 1. Magnet-Base 2. Motor 3. Basket 4. Impeller 5. Stator Controller power supply Function The movement of the impeller generates an area of low pressure, which pulls the water from the back through the basket and pushes it out the front over the fins of the stator.
  • Page 9: Start Up

    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.
  • Page 10 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.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12: Installation And Removal

    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).

  • Page 20: Wave Mode

    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.
  • Page 21 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.

  • Page 23 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.

  • 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.
  • Page 27: Cleaning Function

    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.
