IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
B) DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance
to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) CAUTION: If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and the retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. (Non-
immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank or the
fountain to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water
from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip-loop” shown in the
Figure A should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip-loop” is the part of the
cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in
contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reectors, lamp bulbs and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
F) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices of the appliance.
J) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts
than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over,
pulled, or placed where the appliance plug and extension cord plug will be exposed to water.
K) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than other). As a safety feature, this plug will t in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do no attempt to defeat this safety
feature. EXCEPTION: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment
plug.

été échappé ou abîmé d’une façon quelconque.
5) An d’éviter que l’appareil ou la prise de courant soient mouillés, installer le cabinet de aquarium et le bac à côté
d’une prise de courant pour empêcher l’eau de dégoutter sur la prise.
L’utilisateur devrait faire une boucle d’égouttement g. ci-dessous
pour chaque cordon électrique branché d’un aquarium à une prise de
courant. La boucle d’égouttement est la partie du cordon se trouvant
sous le niveau de la prise de courant (ou le raccord si une rallonge
électrique est utilisée), an d’empêcher que l’eau circule le long du
cordon électrique et entre en contact avec la prise de courant. Si la
che ou la prise de courant sont mouillées, NE PAS débrancher le
cordon électrique : débrancher d’abord le fusible ou disjoncteur qui
fournit l’électricité à l’appareil et débrancher ensuite l’appareil en
vériant qu’il n’y ait pas d’eau dans la prise.
C) Pour éviter les accidents, ne pas toucher les pièces en mouvement ou chaudes comme chauffages, réecteurs,
ampoules, etc.

Power Supply & Connecting Units
The sentia™dose Primary Control Unit includes a Power Adaptor and Plugs Set. The Plugs Set includes plugs
matching electrical outlets for North American, EU, UK and Australia/New Zealand locales or setups. To prepare
the Power Adapter for use, slide the appropriate Plug onto the Plug Adaptor rmly - the Plug should lock into place
securely. The Power Adapter supplies power to the the Primary Control Unit and any Secondary Units attached to
the Primary Control Unit.
Always make certain the Power Adapter is unplugged before connecting or disconnecting any Primary
Control Unit or Secondary Units in sequence.
To connect any unit in sequence simply remove the corresponding side plates of the units being connected (Figure
1.A) and slide the unit being connected to the right down onto the unit on the left (Figure 1.B). Replace all side
covers to any exposed sides once connections are complete.
Primary Control Units and Secondary Units can be connnected in any sequence or order. The connected units
sequence will always appear in the app list from left to right in a top-to-bottom arrangement with the left unit being
at the top of the list.
Once all units being used are connected in sequence and side covers are in place, the Power Adpator can be
plugged into any unit in the sequence. All units should have lights illuminate just above the Pump Head(s). A white
colored circle should be lit to the right above the Pump Head(s). A white WiFi emblem should show to the left above
the Pump Head on Primary Control Units. A white Link emblem should blink to the left on any Secondary Units - the
light(s) will blink in succession for any sequence of Secondary Units.
Figure 1.A Figure 1.B
Using the Included Mounting Bracket
Each sentia™dose Primary Control Unit and/or Secondary Unit includes a mounting bracket for optionally securing
the Unit(s) as desired. The included Mounting Plate can be secured with the included Screws or the included
Adhesive Strips. The Mounting Plates for any number of Units in sequence interlock to neighboring Units. Mounting
Plates should be secured in sequence to the mounting location. Once secured, the entire group of Units can be
attached to the line of Mounting Plates.
Setting Up Doser Pump Heads and Tubing
Placement of the sentia™dose Primary Control Unit and/or connected Secondary Unit(s) is unique to each user’s
circumstance. In general, the system should be set up for ease of access to any supplements being dosed while
being within a comfortable proximity to the aquarium or sump being dosed. Any length of tubing distance is
generally feasible given proper calibration of the solution being dosed.
Additionally, the Pump Head can be adjusted to 8 different positions by turning the Pump Head gently clockwise
to unlock its position. The Pump Head can then be turned to the various other positions and then locked back
into place by lowering it into the chosen position and turning it counter clockwise. This allows the Unit(s) to be
positioned horizontally, vertically, diagonally, etc. to facilitate the best position for each user’s application. All
sentia™dose Primary Control Units and Secondary Units come with the Pump Head already assembled.
Connect a Tubing Connector to each end of the Pump Head tubing. When facing the Pump Head directly the ow
through the doser is in through the Right Tube and out through the Left Tube. Approximately 1 meter of Tubing is
included with each Primary Control Unit and Secondary Unit. Install the appropriate length of tubing required from
the supplement reservoir or bottle to the inow side (Right Tube when facing Unit) of a unit making certain that
the length of tubing extends all the way to the bottom of the resevoir easily. Install the appropriate length of tubing
required from the Primary Control Unit and/or connected Secondary Unit outow side (Left Tube when facing Unit)
to the aquarium or sump being dosed. Make certain the line is secure and that the output end of the line is above
the water line. Additional tubing is available in 3 meter segments as an accessory from your dealer.
Colored Rings for Pump Heads are intended to coordinate with the Colored Clip for each tube run to avoid confusion
when using multiple dosers. The Pump Head Colored Ring can be removed by lightly pulling up at the indention
where the Colored Ring meets the Pump Head. Simply replace the Colored Ring as desired and press down on the
Colored Ring to secure it to the Pump Head. A corresponding Colored Clip can then be installed on the end of the
output line at the aquarium or sump being dosed.
