General Security Notes
The SENECT® AQUACULTURE|CONTROL is an electronic control unit developed for measuring
and controlling water quality parameters and actuator like fish feeders, valves or drum filters.
Since it is an electric product the common prerequisites for a safe instrument usage
must be fulfilled. The device must be operatated with 230 V AC (~50 Hz). Ensure
that all cables are installed safely so that no obstacles for persons are built and all.
Mount all cables and electric devices protected against direct environmental
impacts like overheating by direct sunlight and water. Even if the product is
protected against spray water, the product´s lifetime will be elongated, if it is
mounted on a protected place.
For many applications a ground fault circuit interruper (interrupting current <= 30 mA) is
required by law. Inform yourself about the valid legislation. If the mains plug cable is damaged,
only the producer or a qualified person designated by the producer is allowed to repair the
damage.

Intented use
5
The operating temperature of the device must be between 0°C and +40°C. It is not allowed to
modify the SENECT® AQUACULTURE|CONTROL, to open the housing or to insert anything into
the housing.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the producer or a qualified person
designated by the producer to avoid potential dangers.
The device is designed to be operated by professional users. It can be also operated by
children over the age of 8 years and persons with limited physical, sensorial or cognitive
ability, if they are supervised, trained in the operation of the device, able to operate the device
safely and if they understand potential risks resulting from the operation. It is for children or
persons with limited physical, sensorial or cognitive ability not allowed to perform any
maintenance works.
Please store this manual. We suggest the storage a copy of the manual in the vicinity of the
device.
Technical and optical changes of this manual are subject to alterations.
Warning: Before doing any maintenance work switch off all electric devices or unplug
the mains plug.
Intented use

Every type of SENECT sensor can be connected to the universal sensor input ports (e.g. the
oxygen sensor O2S, the pH sensor XR-1 or the water level probe PS). The
AQUACULTURE|CONTROL measures then the signal of the connected sensors, saves the
measurements internally (up to max. 3 months) and can control output ports depending on
the sensor readings or send alarm message, if the control unit is connected to the internet.
At its actuator output ports, 24 V DC actuators like valves or fish feeders can be connected
directly. Also actuators, which can be controlled via 4-20 mA or 0-10 V control signals can be
controlled directly. Actuators with 230 V AC can be switched with the actuator ports by using
the optional PowerSwitch SC24-230 or can be controlled directly, when they are connected to
one of the three 230 V AC output ports at the bottom side of the device. Please consider
always the max. allowed power consumption of actuators.
The AQUACULTURE|CONTROL can also be used to control drum or belt filters. Pleas consider
here:
The direct control of drum or belt filters is only possible for filter with a 24 V DC filter
motor with max. 5 A (AQC-A1-xx3-150) or 10 A (AQC-A1-xx3-300) or with a 230 V AC
filter motor. The spray pump must be operated with 230 V AC with a maximal
current of 8 A. For enabling all functions which need to adjust the motor speed of the filter
(e.g. intensive cleaning), 230 V or 400 V filter motors must be controlled via a variable
frequency drive connected to one of the actuator output ports (see Fig. 5).

The integrated WLAN module can be used to embed the SENECT AQUACULTURE|CONTROL
into a WLAN network. With an established internet connection of the
AQUACULTURE|CONTROL, the control unit can download software updates and send alarm
messages. Additionally, with the SENECT Control App on an Android, Apple iOS or Windows
device, the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL can be operated remotely (Internet connection with
port forwarding and dynamic DNS necessary, for more details see chapter WLAN).
Please consider during the design of your control system that the sensors, cables and
actuators are not within the scope of delivery of the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL and have to
be ordered separately.
Getting started
Scope of delivery
o1 x AQUACULTURE|CONTROL unit with 3 m power cable
o1 x Wall mount set
o1 x Set of exchange fuses with 2 AT, 4 AT and 8 AT
o1 x Manual
Note
Please check directly after delivery, that the package is not destroyed or damaged
or was opened before. Please check also, that all parts as listed above are included.
If anything is missing or broken, please contact us as soon as possible within 14 days.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept later information of damage, which happened during the
transport.
Installation and start-up
Choose a place for your AQUACULTURE|CONTROL which is clean, dry and protected
from direct sunlight. Ensure that all cables are placed safely and all regulations are
fulfilled.
To mount the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL, place the delivered wall mounting parts on the back
of the device. Tight the parts with the delivered screws (3 x 10 mm, see Fig. 1). Afterwards,
you can use the wall mounting parts of the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL to attach the device to
its place, e.g. on a wall.
Plug the 230 V power plug of the AQUACULTURE |CONTROL in a spray water protected plug
(IPx4 or higher) but do not switch the AQUACULTURE |CONTROL on yet. The next steps inform
you how to connect the sensors and actuators.

Using the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL to switch outputs as a function
of sensor measurements
Which sensors, which actuators and how the cables are conneced depend strongly on your
application. In general, you can follow these steps:
1. Mount sensors and actuator at their location.
2. Place and lay the cables safely to the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL, remove the
protection cap from the sensor input port and connect the sensor plug to the blue
marked „SENSOR“ input.
3. Switch on the AQUACULTURE|CONTROL and set the desired settings. To switch the
output ports, you have to assign a function to the selected output port.

Note: Changing languages can be easiliy done in the menu. Press the button MENU
and select under „System Einstellungen / Sprache“ the language „English“.

Application example: Oxygen control
In this example, the oxygen sensor O2S is connected to SENSOR 1 and the „normally opened“
solenoid valve (Type: MVO-M7-SC, Art. No.: 3020) is plugged into actuator plug OUT 1.
(„Normally open“ is selected here, that in case of a power shutdown the valve opens
automatically and the fish still get oxygen.)
The desired oxygen level should be over 95% and if 100% are reached, the addition of oxygen
shall be stopped. Go to the menu (MENU / Output Ports / Plug 1) and set:
Function: Sensor Control –a new submenu appears (when you go back in the
menu)
In the submenu „Sensor Control“ set:
oControl Parameter: O2 % a.s.
oSensor Plug: 1
oStart value: 95%
oStop value: 100%
oMax. Duration: 00:00:00
oBreak Time: 00:00
In the submenu „Output signal“ set:
oPolarity: Low Active (the output is switched off, when the O2
concentration falls below 95% so that the [normally open] valve opens)
Now, all the settings are done and you can test the system, e.g. dipping the O2S sensor in
0-%-oxygen solution.
