Overview

This document describes the Jebao WP-40 and WP-25 Wave Makers, devices designed to simulate natural waves and whirlpools in marine environments. These wave makers are intended for indoor use in water only, and it is crucial to ensure the pump is always submerged to prevent motor damage. The controller, however, is not waterproof and should be positioned to avoid water splashes.

The wave makers are equipped with a unique multi-mode controller, allowing users to adjust the device to suit their specific aquarium requirements. The pump itself is a low-voltage, low-power DC variable-speed unit, which minimizes heat transfer to the aquarium and maximizes user safety. The pump housing is adjustable, enabling easy alteration of the flow direction. The device also features a wide voltage input (AC100 ~ 240V 50/60Hz), making it versatile for various aquarium setups. It is suitable for aquariums with glass up to 15mm thickness.

Installation involves placing the wavemaker in the desired location within the aquarium. The magnet should be removed from the pump for installation. The rubber suction cup cylinder is placed on the inside wall, and the rear magnet plate (with attached rubber damper) is positioned on the outer wall of the aquarium. Care must be taken when positioning the strong magnets to avoid trapping fingers. The controller can be affixed to a suitable location using the provided double-sided adhesive paper. Before connecting the mains cable, the 3-pin waterproof connector from the pump should be attached to the controller. If desired, a light sensor can be gently inserted into the small socket on the left of the controller. Finally, the AC/DC power adapter is connected to the controller, and the mains power cord can be connected.

The controller offers nine operational modes, which can be cycled through by pressing the "MODE" key. These modes include:

  • H1: High, constant, non-variable flow.
  • H2: Medium, constant, non-variable flow (75% of max flow rate).
  • H3: Low, constant, non-variable flow (50% of max flow rate).
  • W1: Adjustable pulses and speed. Users can cycle through three speed settings (S1=100%, S2=75%, S3=50% of max flow rate) using the speed button. The wave duration knob allows adjustment of the pulse duration, varying the wave size. Correct duration setting creates a back-and-forth motion and a gentle standing wave. The speed setting only affects this mode.
  • W2: The wave maker speeds up from a low flow rate to the maximum in approximately 8 steps, then slows down similarly, with a longer "on" time at higher flows. This creates a varied flow pattern. The wave duration knob adjusts the length/shortness of individual steps.
  • Else (Reef Stream Mode): A random flow cycle that randomly increases and decreases pump speed and duration, mimicking a natural reef environment.

Additional features include:

  • Feed Mode: Pressing the 'MODE/FEED' button for 5 seconds illuminates a blue '10min' light, stopping the pump for 10 minutes to allow for feeding. The pump automatically restarts after 10 minutes, or can be manually restarted by pressing the 'MODE/FEED' button again for 5 seconds.
  • Lock Mode: To prevent accidental changes to the adjustable control knob, press and hold the 'SPEED/LOCK' button for 5 seconds. A red 'LOCK' light will illuminate, disabling the control knob. To disable this feature, press and hold the 'SPEED/LOCK' button for another 5 seconds.
  • Night Mode: When the two-pinned light sensor is inserted into the small socket on the left side of the control box, night mode activates automatically. The sensor detects when tank lights go out and slows the pump to half speed. A 'Sensor' LED illuminates when night mode is active. Removing the sensor from the control box disables night mode.

Maintenance is crucial for effective performance. Users should regularly clean the outer parts of the wave maker. A dry cloth should be used to prevent water from entering the controller box. To disassemble the wave maker for cleaning, disconnect power, remove the pump from its cradle, and while holding the rear section of the pump, turn the front grid clockwise. Reassembly involves reversing these steps, ensuring the ceramic shaft is correctly located into the bearing and turning the front grid clockwise until a click is heard, indicating correct assembly.

It is important to note that if the controller or AC/DC adapter are opened, the warranty will be voided. This product should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste; separate collection for special treatment is necessary.
