3. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death. If ingested, immediately contact your physician or a poison control center. 4. Use only DPI or HBS branded and approved battery chargers. 5. Do not touch or connect the terminals of the battery to each other.
HBS Algae Remediation products do not treat any body of water to produce potable or drinkable water. HBS Algae Remediation Products do not treat for other bacterium, pollution, viruses, toxins, micro-organisms, or other matter which may be present, and other methods of treatment may be needed to provide prevention, remediation, or elimination of such.
PRODUCT FEATURES 1. Solar Panels (x2) 2. Lithium-Ion Battery Packs (x6): Used to store and provide continual power to the Solar Controller (7). Battery packs are waterproof and rated at IP68. 3. Solar Controller: Takes in solar power and charges battery packs (2), controls power to sonic heads (via Channel-1 and -2), controls power to...
12. U-Bolt and Associated Nuts: used to tighten and secure the Solar Panel Assembly (1) left/right rotation position. 13. Label: aids in centering Mount Plate (9) on Cross Mount Bar (8) 14. Solar Panel Vertical Pole 15. Strain Relief P-Clamps (x2) and Thumb Screws (x2): Provides strain relief for sonic head and SONDE probe cables.
4. As the vertical pole is placed into the hole, try to orient the pole so that the lock bar is parallel to the body of water and the two yellow cable strain relief knobs are facing the body of water as visualized by this figure: Prep Site Hole Refer to figures and ensure that the Site Preparation Details were followed!

• Box Wrench or Socket – 1/2in to tighten U-Bolt Nuts 1. A two person team is recommended. Raise the Solar Panel Assembly and slip the U-Bolts (12) onto the top of the Vertical Pole (14). The Vertical Pole Stop Bracket (10) prevents the Solar Panel Assembly from falling onto the top of the Vertical Pole (14).
SONIC HEAD CABLE CONNECTION If a cable connector is supplied which connects to a power supply, apply a very small 3mm diameter spot or less of dielectric grease to all socket contacts (as shown) – not pins. This protects from corrosion, moisture, and dirt when connectors are disconnected.
ANCHOR AND SONIC HEAD PLACEMENT Shown is a typical application using one or two Sonic Heads. Single Sonic Head Where one Sonic Head is used, refer to the Sonic Head on the top: 1. A typical 2.27kg (5lb) anchor ball, available from many sources including marinas and retail stores, is needed to keep the system in place.
Sonic Heads, driven from one power supply such as an HBS AC Power Supply or HBS Solar Power, layout placements are shown. Refer to these figures below. The one figure with the circled areas represents coverage –...
These layouts require a float kit which may require them to be purchased separately. Use manual MNUL0064-A001 to deploy the float kit with the second Sonic Head.

1. Route the Sonic Head Power Cable to the Solar Controller (3) and connect to first Channel One labeled ‘SONIC 1’ or if a second Sonic Head cable is used then connect the channel labeled ‘SONIC 2‘. 2. Secure the cable with the ‘P-Clamp’ using the second P-Clamp (4) and its Thumb Screw.
Option 2: Uses an HBS Telemetry/Modem. Refer to these steps to mechanically attach to the Vertical Pole frame: Locate the Solar Controller (3) and identify the port labeled ‘Comms’. If the connector on the Telemetry Power Cable is installed, the modem is good to go. If not connected, plug the connector into the port.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and calibration routine before deploying. 5. Hang SONDE from a safe and secure area such as a personal dock. STEVEN’S WATER STEELHEAD MODEM The following instructions are solely for the mechanical and electrical connection to the SunSonix™ product. For operation, refer to the Steven’s Water Telemetry System (SWTs) Instruction Manual found on our website www.hydro-bioscience.com.
POWER SUPPLY Solar Powered Systems Solar Charger and Controller Power Supply For operation of Sonic Heads using the Solar Controller, please refer to the Solar Charger/Controller User’s Manual (MNUL0059-A001) or visit the resources → manual section at https://www.hydro-bioscience.com/. The third port also accepts a Lockout Key Connector used to shut down the system for shipping or storage reasons.
Tabellaria spp., Tetradesmus lagerheimii, Tribonema spp., Ulnaria ulna, Ulothrix spp. *Only partial control (This is not a complete list of algae that is affected by HBS Ultrasonic systems) Important Note: Certain species of plants and foliage rely on the presence of biofilm to survive and may be adversely affected.
SONIC HEAD MAINTENANCE The HBS ultrasonic algae management system is designed to limit calcium carbonate crystal formation on the sound emitting surfaces, so it forms slowly. Over time, buildup will occur depending on how hard the water is where you live.
2. Wipe the solar panels using a common household window cleaner and a soft cloth. 3. Reverse the procedure from ‘Storage’ above by redeploying Sonic Heads Cable Splice Connector Cable Splice Connector used on ‘T65’ Sonic Head models only. This connector is an IP68 rated cable splice that can be used in field repair or upgrading to newer sonic heads.
