HYDROS devices include several Sense Ports. A Sense Port is a generic input port that can accept data from numerous different types of aquarium sensors. Sense Ports currently support: Temperature Probes Optical Level Sensors (Single and Dual) Capacitive Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensors Rope Leak Detectors Point Leak Detectors Flow Rate Sensors Magnetic Switches Push-Button Switches HYDROS Drive Port The Drive Ports provide switched 12V DC power for running small lights, motors, pumps, fans, and other aquarium accessories. The exact current being supplied by each port is continuously monitored by the Control, so if a motor or pump quits drawing current or draws too much, you will be immediately notified. Accessories currently supported include: Auto Top-Off (ATO) Pumps Cooling Fans Cabinet LED Lights Solenoids to control reverse osmosis systems HYDROS Command Bus The HYDROS Command Bus is used to power the Control as well as communicate with other HYDROS device for the ultimate failsafe. General Information Hydros aquarium controllers are the next generation of automated aquarium devices. Rather than relying on each individual device’s brain and programming capacity, the Hydros Control units have their own CPU and control capabilities. Hydros Control devices remove the problem of incompatible ports and need to continually add modules to expand your aquarium’s automation system. This new technology is called the Hydros Sense Port. The Sense Port is an entirely new concept in aquarium monitoring technology. A Sense Port is a generic input port that can accept data from numerous different types of sensors. Drive Ports provide 12-volt power for controlling ATO pumps, cooling fans, and other devices. Hydros is the future of automation!
