VKB271828Propeller Pump

Instruction Manual MP40w Protecting your VorTech Protect the pump from water The VorTech’s motor housing and driver are NOT WATERPROOF. Any water allowed into these components can damage them enough to require replacement. This kind of damage is NOT covered in the VorTech’s warranty. Protect these components from splashes of any kind. Maintenance Wear of the drive shaft The VorTech pump features a wear component in the form of the drive shaft. This part is designed with a special engineering grade plastic which extends the part’s lifetime. The plastic drive shaft can be expected to last for years, depending on the speed, frequency, and alignment of the pump. The wet magnet and drive shaft should be observed periodically to monitor wear. If the magnet begins to how signs of rapid oxidation in the form of bubbles on the magnet surface, they may need to be replaced. Replacements can be purchased directly from EcoTech Marine. Cleaning your VorTech The VorTech may need thorough cleaning of the components periodically to keep it running optimally. This can be accomplished by disassembling the wet half of the pump and gently brushing the components with a soft brush under running water. Soaking these parts in a mild acid solution such as vinegar may be necessary if there is an extreme amount of calcium buildup. Do not use strong acids as this may damage the components. Troubleshooting Break-in The VorTech pump is engineered to adapt to its aqueous environment. During the first week of use, your pump may run noisier or stall. The noise should quiet dramatically over night and any stall conditions can safely be reset by manually cycling the power to your pump. Driver Error Codes Over Temperature Condition In the event of a motor overheating, the pump will automatically shut down for a period to allow for cooling. Once the motor has cooled, the driver will automatically restart and resume normal operation. You may experience an overheating error from a misalignment. Stall Condition In the event of a motor stall, the pump may have stopped for a few possible reasons. You should first check that there is not something blocking the propeller from spinning. Next, check to make sure the magnets are not rubbing on either the pin spacer or the frame cover. Miscellaneous Error This error could be attributed to a communication error between pumps or an unidentified error in the wave driver. FCC Warnings: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by EcoTech Marine could void the user’s authority to operate the VorTech Wireless Wave Driver.

Gently but firmly press down on the nozzle with your palm and twist counter clockwise. The nozzle should become free of the wet-frame. It may then be cleaned of any obstructions Specifications and Operating Parameters Flow: 200-3,000 gallons/hour, Power: 12-23 watts, Maximum Motor Temp: 50-60 degrees C Aquarium Wall Thickness: 3/16” to 3/4” Your VorTech propeller pump Before you start Preparation Once you have chosen the location where you wish to install your VorTech pump, clean • away any algae, calcified or otherwise, using a razor blade. Notes on placement The VorTech creates over 3,000 gallons per hour of low velocity flow within your aquarium. Take care to place the VorTech in a suitable location where corals are not directly in the line of flow. Place the pump sufficiently high enough above a fine sand bed so that sand is not blown around by the output or undertow created by the VorTech. Adjust the pin spacer The VorTech pump is designed to operate with a constant gap between both halves of the device. The pin spacer is used to ensure the proper spacing for various aquarium wall thicknesses. Make sure to measure your aquarium’s glass thickness us-• ing a ruler or contact the aquarium manufacturer in order to determine the exact thickness. To adjust for the proper aquarium thickness, pull the pin • spacer from the motor housing. Then align the VorTech’s power cord emerging from the motor with your aquari- um’s wall thickness to achieve the proper offset from your aquarium. Note: 5/8” and 3/4” thick aquariums do not use the pin spacer at all. IMPORTANT: When adjusting the pin spacer, be sure not to bend the pins as they are inserted into the holes within the heat sink as this may permanently damage your VorTech. Bent pins WILL NOT be covered under warranty. Sync Mode When a slave pump is entered into sync mode, it will replicate exactly what the master pump is doing. This function can be used with a master pump that is currently in any general mode of operation. Anti-Sync Mode When a slave pump is entered into Anti-Sync Mode, it will inversely replicate the master pump. For example, when the master pump is at high speed, the slave pump will be at low speed. This function can be used with a master pump that is currently in lagoon, reef- crest, or pulse modes. In constant speed mode, the anti-sync pumps will operate at the same speed as the master pump. Slave Modes Step 1: Clear Driver Memory The internal memory of each unit must be cleared before setting up a group. Programming Multiple Pumps A pump group consists of one master pump and at least one slave pump. There can only be one master pump per group which can include an unlimited number of slave pumps. It is possible to have up to eight groups in one area each with a unique master pump. Step 2: En…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 September 27, 2007 RE: FCC ID: VKB271828_ATCB005478 Attention: Hoosamuddin Bandukwala I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that the FCC requires that actual end frequencies be listed for part 15 deivces. Please note that the 731 lists the entire range between 2400-2483.5MHz. Please correct the 731 to show actual frequency usage. 2. Please note that the FCC has stated that testing for DTS devices is to be done in accordance with their accepted test procedure. Please note that while you list ANSI C63.4, you do not list or state that you have followed this accepted test procedure. Please confirm that all testing was done in accordance with this accepted test procedure for DTS devices, and please so state in the report for the applicable test section. 3. FYI – no action needed. Please note that you state you follow ANSI C63.4 procedures. Please note that section 4.2 of ANSI C63.4 states “When using a spectrum analyzer or other instrument providing a spectral display the video bandwidth shall be set to a value at least three times greater than the Intermediate Frequency (IF) bandwidth of the measuring instrument to avoid the introduction of amplitude smoothing.” Please consider this requirement and correct future report to reflect the requirements of ANSI C63.4. 4. Please note that for emissions above 1GHz there are 2 limits that must be meet within the restricted bands. The average limit using average measurement techniques and the peak limit (74dBuV/m) using the analyzer/receiver set to peak detector function. Please note that on the table of results on pdf page 19 (report page 13) you only show the average values. Please provide evidence that when the analyzer is set to peak detector function that the device is still compliant to the 74dBuV/m limits in the restricted bands. 5. Please note that 2.1033 requires a sample calculation be provided for correction factors used. Please note that your report states that you included the preamplifier, cable and transducer factors in the analyzer readings via an “offset” factor. Please provide a sample calculation as to how this was included (i.e. Reading + antenna factor + cable factor - preamplifier etc). Please also verify that the values entered into the analyzer offset are from the most current calibration factors available. 6. Please note that there are a couple ways that Industry Canada allows for the measurement of Occupied Bandwidth. The first is to simply measure 26dB (or the approximate 99% BW) down from the peak of the signal. The other method is to set the reference line to the measure unmodulated peak of the signal and then place the marker at the 20dB below the ref line. The plots provided on pdf pages 25 and 26 of the report do not make it clear as to how this was done and they do not appear to meet either of the two accepted methods. The dBc points for example are not 26dB down but only appear to be 16dB down from the peak of the signal. As the 6dB down points in the previous plots are 6dB down from the peak of the signal on the plot it is assumed the same technique was used. If this is the case then the plots mentioned above are not the 26dB down points but only the 16dB down points. Please explain and please correct/re-measure as necessary. 7. Please note that several pieces of test equipment listed are out of calibration. For example, SA 8563E (sn i00029) was out of cal as of Jan 26, 2007 but was used for conducted spurious emissions testing and occupied bandwidth testing a full 6 months after this date; The horn antenna 3115 (sn i00103) used for radiated testing above 1 GHz range was out of cal Sept 5, 2007 but testing appears to have been done between Sept 18-20, 2007; The power sensor used with the power meter E4418B (sn i00228) was out of cal Aug 1, 2007 but testing using this sensor was performed in Sept; SA 8566B (sn i000290) was out of cal June 16, 2007 but was used for band edge testing. As ANSI C63.4 requires measurements using calibrated z Page 2 September 27, 2007 equipment, please clearly identify the specific dates for each test. If any of the equipment used was out of calibration at that time, please retest using properly calibrated test equipment.
