Lagoon Random Mode

When a pump is in Lagoon Random Mode, the dial is used to set the maximum operational speed, and the driver will automatically
randomize the pumps output to simulate a low energy lagoon reef environment. If this pump is a master, the associated slave pumps will
replicate the master in sync or anti-sync modes.

Reef-Crest Random Mode

When a pump is in Reef-Crest Random Mode, the dial is used to set the maximum operational speed, and the driver will automatically
randomize the pumps output to simulate a high energy reef-crest environment. If this pump is a master pump, the associated slave
pumps will replicate the master in sync or anti-sync modes.

Short Pulse Mode

When a pump is first entered into Pulse Mode, you must set the maximum pump speed by adjusting the dial. When the desired speed
is achieved, press the Set button to lock this speed. The LED will now begin to blink. This blinking LED represents the pulsing frequency.
Now adjust the dial to make the pump pulse faster or slower. To save this wave, press and hold Set until the LED flashes green/white
indicating that the wave is saved.

Feed Mode

To enter Feed Mode, press and hold the mode button for three seconds. The LED will now blink white indicating that the pumps are in
feed mode. Regardless of your system’s master/slave pump configuration, all pumps will enter feed mode when that mode is selected on
any one pump. The pumps will spin very slowly for ten minutes and then resume their prior operating conditions.

Long Pulse Mode

When the pump is entered into swell mode, the maximum speed of the pump is set by adjusting the dial. When the desired speed is
achieved, press the Set button to lock this speed. The LED will now begin to blink, the blinking LED represents the swelling frequency.
Now adjust the dial to make the frequency increase or decrease. To save this wave, press and hold the Set button until the LED flashes
green/white indicating that the wave is saved.

Battery Backup Mode

When a battery backup accessory is added to the VorTech pump, the pump will automatically switch to Battery Backup mode during a
power outage. The pumps will run at the minimum speed to maximize their run time during this critical period.
