Description
ReefKeeper Lite
The new ReefKeeper Lite is an exciting new product from Digital Aquatics!
It's small, expandable and perfect for nano tanks, beginners, and people looking
for a mid level controller!
The ReefKeeper Lite or RKL, has a 5 (mechanical) button interface and a larger
16 x 2 LCD display for easy readability. The RKL will have more than enough
power to monitor and control single tank systems, as well as small to mid
sized tanks alike!
The RKL is the only controller under $150 that
offers four outlets and temperature control while still providing the customer
an upgrade path as their system or needs grow!
With up to four add-onmodules, this new controller is perfect for streamlining
your tank without breaking the bank!
Any level you purchase can be added to, up to the four module limit. The
RKL can interface with PC4s, SL1s, and the MLC. It can NOT interface with
the SL2, NET and other modules yet to be released. Those modules require the
RKE system with more advanced features and abilities.
NEW - Expandability!
The RKL can interface with up to 4 modules in almost any configuration you'd
like. (Limited to PC4s, SL1s and MLCs)
NEW - Data reporting
The RKL can report the min, max and average over the last 1 hour for all inputs
and outputs!
NEW - Improved 5 button interface
The RKL has a 5 button interface; a big improvement over traditional 3 button
interfaces that are currently used for entry level controllers!
NEW - 16 dedicated timers
You can set up to 16 timers with day of week capability!
NEW - Audible and Visual feedback
The RKL offers a first for an entry level controller with audible and visual
feedback!
NEW - 16 dedicated alarms
Get informed! Set alarms to alert you of almost any event in your system that
you need to know about
NEW - Control functions
Improved controller, multi-timer, light, lunar, and pump controls help keep
you in complete control of your system!
Upgradeable Firmware with USB Adapter
Updating the RKL via USB when new software features are released is easy and
straight forward. Better yet it's included at no extra cost!
Night Mode - Independently Programmable
Night mode can be configured independent of your light configuration so that
moonlights and pumps can be adjusted in the evening times.
Wavemaker
There are 2 wavemaker cycles in the ReefKeeper Lite, cycles A and b. When
a channel is designated as a pump you can select a wavemaker cycle A or B.
The two alternate opposite each other to simulate wave motion. Under the wavemaker
setup you choose how long you want each cycle time to be by dialing an A/B
cycle time. During night mode the cycle can be turned off to give a calming
affect.
Standby/Feed mode
Just as in all Digital Aquatics controllers, the RKL has a Standby mode that
can be programmed from 1 to 59 minutes. When in "Standby" ReefKeeper
Lite turns off the powerheads and sump and skimmer pumps that are programmed
to be off during standby mode for the set time or until "Standby"
is backed out of.
Standby/Feed mode helps reduce the bio load on the tank by maximizing the
food eaten by fish and corrals and minimizing waste. Food will not get whisked
away into the sump filter and to dead spots in your tank. Standby mode is
also useful when it is time to perform maintenance on your tank and you need
all the water pumps to be temporarily turned off.
Head unit can be mounted in a number of ways for the custom professional
look
The display unit has several mounting options to accommodate different configurations.
It can be mounted flush to your hood/cabinet for a sleek look by cutting out
a rectangle. It can also be mounted easily to any flat surface with or without
the mounting tabs.
Splash proof face plate
The front of the remote display has a custom faceplate so that a little water
on it doesn't cause any problems. The unit menu system can be navigated with
wet hands without any problems.
Internal backup battery for clock and settings
The internal battery will last for years keeping the time and settings of
the ReefKeeper Lite. A power outage will not require the adjustments that
traditional light timers need after the power is restored.
Simple menu system for easy configuration
The menu system is an easy-to-use interface that allows you to setup the ReefKeeper
Lite to meet your specific needs. The 5 buttons under the display are used
to navigate through the menu for setting up which features you want to link
to which outlets and other setup.
