Why using Marine Magic Dosing Pump ?

1. EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE All the control process and dosing information is clearly showed in a 3 inches LCD display.

2. FLEXIBLE DOSING TIME Each pump could max. set 16 times on / off per day. They are working independently.

3. FLEXIBLE DOSING SPEED There are 4-speed settings. Each pump could work independently with its own speed.

4. HIGH ACCURACY, USE TIME TO CONTROL Different from some traditional dosing pump, Marine Magic use time (hour / min / second) as input to

control the dosing amount. It is much accurate than using ML as an input indicator as it will be getting

inaccurate while the DC motor brush wearing and dosing tube become flatten. Using time to control

dosing rate, you could easy do the calibration by adjusting the time run.

5. SMALL AMOUNT DOSING CAPABILITY The 4 speed is ranging from 0.05 ml – 0.65 ml / second. You could do accurate dosing as accurate as

0.1 ml.

6. DOSING STATUS MENU DISPLAY After you set all your dosing instruction, the dosing status menu will show the coming dosing

execution.

7. TEMPERTURE SENSOR This dosing pump comes with a temp sensor and it is shown in status menu as well.

8. BATTERIES BACK UP FOR INTERNAL CLOCK Under power failure, the internal clock would still keep working. The dosing execution could still keep

running as set. Using 4 pcs of NIMH batteries for backup. It could last for 3 days and it is easy to

replace once the batteries is done.

WARNING - Don’t use regular 1.5V dry batteries, it would damage the PCB

Getting Started

1. Plug in the adaptor and Turn on the power. Below is the Main Manual

2. Manual Mode – See “Manual Mode” instruction

3. Timer Mode – See “Timer Mode” instruction

4. TIME SETTING – Press ENT and will go to below screen. Set the current time and TIMERLOCK.

Timer Lock • Timer Lock is to set the ceiling time that the pump could run. It acts as an protective line to avoid the

pump overrun. Set it “00:00:00” if you don’t want this function.

• Example: It you set timer lock to be 00:01:00 while the timer set at 00:02:00, the pump will run 1

minute only instead of 2.

Manual Mode

In manual mode, you could operate the pump continuously or with a set time.

Warning This pump is not designed for a continuous running usage. This is good for max. 10 min. run per dose. The

life of the motor and tube will be shortened for over times run.

1. To operate the pump continuously, set the time “00:00:00” and then move the cursor to “ON” and press

“ENT”. To turn off the motor, move the cursor to “OFF” and then press “ENT”.

2. To operate with a set time, just set the time you want to run and then move the cursor to “ON” and

press “ENT”. The pump will stop after running the time you set.

3. Under Manual mode, all the dosing instruction you set in timer mode would be suspended until you get

back to the Timer mode Display Menu.

4. The pump LED panel in the left-and-side will on while the motor and pump working

5. Press ESC to get back to Main Menu.

Timer Mode

Choosing the Timer mode in Main Manual, and then you will be entering the Dosing Display Menu first.

You will see the white LED will on and show the unit now entering into Auto time dosing.

Only under this screen the dosing pump would run the timer instruction you set.

Press “ENT” and then you will be entering in the Timer set-up menu.

Use the cursor to the Start Time, Run Time and Pump speed. Finish setting and then press save you would

go to next page.

There are totally 12 pages for setting up. Each page you could set 4 setting. The setting named

A1 ~ A16

B1~ B16

C1~ C16

Every time you press “Save”, the instruction will be stored in the RAM already. Also it would move to next

page automatically. While you press “Save” at the final page (Page 12), it will jump back to the Main

Menu.

Then please select the Timer Mode and make your setting active.

Warning • Don’t set the timer with contraction. The overlapped one will not be carried out.

• Cannot set the start time at 00:00:00. 00:00:00 is a default set time when mean the pump is static.

• Don’t set the start time but leave the run time as “00:00:00”. If you want that entry becomes

non-execution, please set the Start time and Run time both to be “00:00:00”.

Tips Since each pump, motor would have tolerance, the amount you collect might have around 5% difference

between pumps.

This is advised you to do a Trail amount collected first in the Manual mode before you move to Timer

mode. Find out the time you need the pump to run for your desired amount, this is the key to dose your

solvent accurately.

Usage Instruction

General instruction

• Keep away from water and sun exposure. Keep it away from humidity. Don’t put the unit too close

to the fish tank.

• Don’t put anything on top of the unit

• Turn off and unplug if you do not use the unit.

• Don’t unplug the power plug by dragging the power cord.

About Pump and Peristaltic tube

• Pump rate will be getting faster over a time of usage due to the wearing of silicon tube and brush

inside the motor. This is because the tube will become flatten and the dosing rate will become faster.

Monitor the amount you set and best to check it monthly. Use the time to adjust the amount you

want to maintain.

• Please note peristaltic tube (Silicon tube) is consumable. Need replacement over a time of usage.

Life of the tube is more than 400 hours if only run around 10-20 minutes per day. 400 hours is

talking about the total working time, the idle time is not counting in. Generally, the tube should be

last for a year.

• Please put the pump into the shaft gently while replacing.

• Please do not put any lubricant in the pump.

• If found abnormal noise of the pump, please “clip off” the pump from the unit and try to tight up the

pump. “Clip on” the pump after fix it.

• In case the pump stalled, clip off the pump and then clip on again.

About motor

• Please note that motor is consumable, needed replacement if needed. You could contact us for any

parts replacement. Life of DC motor is usually about 125-150 hours base on 5 min on and 5 min off

life test. A very best quality DC motor could not more than a 300 hours life generally.

• Generally, most of the dosing pump is using DC motor to drive the pump, which is not supposed to

be a continuous running usage. Marine Magic is also using a DC motor to drive the pump working.

Life of the motor is about 150 hours and is based on a 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off to do the life

test. If you just use the pump 10-20 minutes per day, the life should be more than 150 hours and it

should be last for 1-2 years.

• All the DC motor has carbon brush inside and it will be wearing over times. You might find there is

black debris around the motor and pump after some times usage which is usual.

About Usage

• To protect the reef of your tank, this is not recommended to connect the dosing pump with a

container over your 5 days dose amount.

• This device is NOT designed for a continuous running dosing. This is recommended to run the

pump max. with 10 minute on and then with 10 minutes off. Life will be reduced if running over it.

• Please don’t run the unit over 60 min. everyday or the life of the unit life will be shortened.

• This is recommended to connect the air line with length less than 6 feet. Siphoning effect will be

getting less if longer than that.

About PCB control box.

• Each part inside the box is replaceable and you could purchase spare parts with us. Generally, the

PCB and LCD are durable parts.
