Overview

The Kamoer ATO One 2 SE is an intelligent water replenishment device, representing an upgraded version of the ATO One. This standard version comes equipped with a submersible pump, making it a straightforward solution for maintaining water levels. Its primary function is to automatically replenish water in a tank or sump, ensuring consistent water levels without the need for constant manual intervention.

One of the key usage features of the ATO One 2 SE is its ease of installation and operation. Users simply need to install the optical level sensors and the submersible pump, and the device is ready for use after being powered on, without requiring complex settings. The sensors are designed for convenient installation and adjustment, fixed by magnets, which simplifies their placement within the tank or sump.

The device incorporates two optical level sensors for precise water level monitoring. A blue optical level sensor is dedicated to monitoring the current water level and determining when replenishment is necessary. When the water level drops below the set point for this sensor, the device initiates the refilling process. To prevent overflow, a red optical level sensor is installed above the normal water level. If the water level reaches this higher sensor, it indicates a potential failure of the primary refill sensor (S1) or an overfilling condition. In such an event, the ATO One 2 SE will trigger an alarm and automatically stop the refill pump, preventing any damage from excessive water.

The ATO One 2 SE offers rich status indications, providing users with clear feedback on its operation and any potential issues. It features indicator lights and a buzzer alarm to alert users in various scenarios. For instance, if the refill water overflows or if the refilling process takes too long (overtime), an alarm will sound. Similarly, if the water in the refill container becomes insufficient, the device will notify the user, preventing the pump from running dry.

The panel introduction highlights several indicators:

  • Power (Green): Indicates that the device is powered on.
  • Filling (Blue): Illuminates when the device is actively refilling water.
  • Alarm (Red): Lights up and often accompanies a buzzer sound when an alarm condition is met.

The device's design also considers the practical aspects of installation. The optical sensor (S1), which acts as the refill sensor, should be installed at the normal water level line. It is crucial to position this sensor away from areas with bubbles to avoid interference and misjudgments in water level detection. The anti-overflow sensor (S3) is placed above the normal water level to serve as a fail-safe.

Connecting the pipeline is another important step. The refill pump connects to a siphon break, which then leads to a tube holder. A critical note for installation is that the siphon break must be installed in the freshwater reservoir and positioned higher than the liquid level of the freshwater reservoir at all times. Additionally, the water outlet of the pipe must be higher than the liquid level of the main tank or sump to ensure proper flow and prevent back-siphoning.

For the submersible pump, an anti-dry burn identification sensor is included. This sensor should be kept upward when the pump is placed in the make-up bucket (freshwater reservoir). Its purpose is to detect when the water in the reservoir is insufficient, allowing the device to provide a timely alarm and prevent the pump from running dry, which could damage the pump.

Maintenance features are also straightforward. The red and blue optical sensors require regular cleaning and wiping, especially after prolonged use, to ensure their accuracy is not compromised by mineral buildup or debris. The bottom fixed base of the submersible pump, which includes filter cotton, is designed to be easily removable for cleaning or replacement, contributing to the pump's longevity and efficient operation.

Several important notes guide the user on proper usage and maintenance:

  • It is essential to use the power adapter supplied with the product and operate the device within the specified operating environment.
  • The height difference between the freshwater reservoir and the tank/sump should not exceed 1.5 meters.
  • Ideally, the liquid level of the freshwater reservoir should not be higher than the liquid level of the tank/sump to optimize pump performance.
  • The ATO One 2 SE is not waterproof, so it must be used in an environment with a temperature range of 0-40°C and humidity below 80%.

The alarm and reminder system is comprehensive, providing different types of alerts for various issues:

  • Fast beep, red light flashes synchronously (On 0.1s, Off 0.1s): Indicates that the pump is not inserted or is faulty. The user should check the pump connection and replace the pump if the problem persists.
  • Medium-fast beep, red light flashes synchronously (On 0.5s, Off 0.5s): Signals an overflow alarm. This suggests that the S3 sensor might not be installed correctly, or its probe needs cleaning. If the refilling water is constantly on, it could indicate a damaged S1 sensor.
  • Medium beep, red light flashes synchronously (On 1s, Off 1s): Denotes a time-out alarm. This typically means the optical sensor has stains or foreign objects obstructing it. The recommended action is to check the sensor for obstructions, then power off and restart the device.

Overall, the Kamoer ATO One 2 SE is designed for reliability and user-friendliness, providing an automated solution for maintaining stable water levels in aquariums or sumps with clear status indications and protective alarm features.
