Long Pulse Mode
Long Pulse Mode allows for pulsing the pump from minimum to a set maximum of between two
seconds and one minute per pulse. This mode is ideal for the creation of gyre flow within the
aquarium. To create a gyre, a minimum of four pumps is ideal. Two pumsp would be placed on
one side of the aquarium and two pumps on the other side of the aquarium. The pumps in oppo-
site corners will be synced together and the other two pumps would be anti-synced. When run in
Long Pulse Mode, this will create a flow pattern which alternates from clockwise to counter-clock-
wise.
To use Long Pulse Mode, tap MODE until the LED turns
pink. Now by adjusting the knob you can change the maxi-
mum speed that the pump achieves during Long Pulse
Mode, which will be indicated by the LED strip. Tap SET
to save this maximum speed and to begin tuning the fre-
quency. When you adjust the knob, you will see that the
frequency changes corresponding to the pulse frequency in
the LED strip.
You can now save this patter by holding set. The LED knob
will blink and then start breathing pink, indicating that the
pattern has been saved.
The graph below repesents the sequence of long pulses
that the VorTech pump will make when set to Long Pulse
Mode.
