All electronic components of the device must only be operated free of defects. Should the mains supply be damaged, please please return it to your dealer to be repaired. Continued operation of the device may cause fatal injury from electric shock. Ensure that the control unit and connection strip do not come into contact with water. Technical products must only be operated as supplied. Electronic components must not be modified in any way, and the leads must not be shortened. Covers or housings must not be opened. If the product is damaged cease useage or shut down immediatly by pulling the mains plug. 1.4 Assembly advice Control units The reverse side of the control unit has recesses that are used to lock the fastening rail which is fixed to the wall or the aquarium cabinet with the screw set. The cable to the control unit has a USB connector so that holes of control 4

5 unit dimensions do not need to be sawn out of the terrarium cabinet. The USB connector is not designed for a computer connection. The control unit has a 2 metre cable which permits installation outside the aquarium cabinet as well as an unobstructed view of all values and status modes. Connection strips The connection strip should be screwed to the back or side panel inside the aquarium cabinet to ensure that there is no contact with the unit in the event of water leakage. Temperature sensors The Dupla T-Control Pro system is equipped with two independent temperature sensors. You can control water and substrate temperature within one aquarium. Alternatively you can control water temperature in two different aquaria. Position the sensors at a suitable distance away from any sources of heat to avoid incorrect measurement and control values. The temperature sensors are connected to the control unit with USB plugs for easy replacement in the event of malfunction. 2. Description of the basic functions 2.1 Function monitoring of external devices The housing is fitted with LEDs. In operating mode this indicates the active control of the external device. 2.2 Safety shutdown during programming When entering into the programming mode, both slots are deactivated for safety reasons. 2.3 Overwrite function On slot 2 either temperature 2 control or time control can be selected. Any previously entered temperature 2 values are deleted by the timer settings and vice versa. 2.4 Safeguard function To protect electronic components, a delay of 60 seconds is set between 2 switching states before the respective slot becomes active again. 2.5 Interval reset Irrespective of the time of day, all programmed intervals start when the device is switched on or the menu is quit. 2.6 Return function The Dupla T-Control Pro automatically returns to the operating mode if no button has been pressed for a period of 90 seconds while in the programming mode. 2.7 Memory function To safeguard against loss of data in the event of a power failure, the Dupla T-Control Pro stores the set values for temperature and time periods. The unit will continue to calculate the time for up to five hours after such an event, so the clock does not need to be reset after brief power failures. 2.8 Malfunction display A not connected temperature sensor, a sensor fault or short circuit of the temperature sensor or programming error in the time settings will be indicated as an error, see item 8 of this instruction. For safety reasons in such an event the slots will be deactivated, for example to to prevent overheating of the aquarium. Despite this safety measure, it is still advisable to only use submersion tube heaters with integrated thermostat and safety cut-out function. 5

6 3. Programmable functions Slot 1 can be programmed for temperature control. Slot 2 can be programmed for (second) temperature control or timer switch. This allows six different combinations of using the Dupla T-Control Pro. water heating + substrate heating (slot 1: Temp 1 HEAT / slot 2: Temp 2 HEAT) water heating + water cooling (slot 1: Temp 1 HEAT / slot 2: Temp 2 COOL) water heating + timer switch (slot 1: Temp 1 HEAT / slot 2: Time) water cooling + water cooling (slot 1: Temp 1 COOL / slot 2: Temp 2 COOL) water cooling + water heating (slot 1: Temp 1 COOL / slot 2: Temp 2 HEAT) water cooling + timer switch (slot 1: Temp 1 COOL / slot 2: Time ) In programming mode, the functions can be configured in the following sequence. 3.1 Clock programming Setting the current time The factory presets the time at. The time setting however is not cleared during a resetting procedure. 3.2 Temperature 1programming (slot 1) Advice: Temperature 1 on slot 1 (temperature sensor, page 3) is intended as a water heating control. Alternatively it can be used as water cooling control Choice of HEAT / COOL A convenient inversion function makes it possible to switch from HEAT to COOL. This permits connection to an external cooling device instead of a heater to counteract any increase in temperature Setting the temperature 1 value The temperature is regulated to a precision of 0.1 C. The temperature can be set within the range of 10 C 40 C. It is possible to programme two turn-on/turn-off times to simulate the drop in temperature at night. The Dupla T-Control Pro has an automatic sorting function which will re-arrange the time periods into the correct sequential order when exiting programming mode Alarm setting temperature 1 A visual alarm indicated by flashing if the temperature exceeds or drops below the programmed desired temperature 1 values. The factory setting is 0.0 (no alarm). An alarm window between +/- 0.1 C and 10 C can be set. Example: Temperature 24 C, alarm window +/- 4 C means that an alarm is triggered below 20 C and above 28 C Deactivation/activation of the audible temperature 1 alarm The audible alarm can be switched or. The factory setting is, as otherwise an alarm could be triggered immediately when the system is first put into service when the sensor is located outside the aquarium, where the temperature may be either too high or too low. 3.3 Temperature 2 programming (slot 2) Advice: Temperature 2 on slot 2 (temperature sensor, page 3) is intended as a substrate heating control. Alternatively it can be used as a water cooling control. In addition it can be used as a water heating or cooling control for a second aquarium. 6

7 3.3.1 Choice of HEAT / COOL A convenient inversion function makes it possible to switch from HEAT to COOL. This permits connection to an external cooling device instead of a heater to counteract any increase in temperature Setting the temperature 2 value The temperature is regulated to a precision of 0.1 C. The temperature can be set to a 10 C 40 C range. It is possible to programme two turn-on/turn-off times to simulate the drop in temperature at night. The Dupla T-Control Pro has an automatic sorting function which will re-arrange the time periods into the correct sequential order when exiting the programming mode Alarm setting temperature 2 A visual alarm indicated by flashing if the temperature exceeds or drops below the programmed desired temperature 2 values. The factory setting is 0.0 (no alarm). An alarm window between +/- 0.1 C and 10 C can be set. Example: Temperature 25 C, alarm window +/- 3 C means that an alarm is triggered below 22 C and above 28 C Deactivation/activation of the audible temperature 2 alarm The audible alarm can be switched or. The factory setting is, as otherwise an alarm could be triggered immediately when the system is first put into service when the sensor is located outside the aquarium, where the temperature may be either too high or too low. 3.4 Timer programming Setting the timer control mode In addition to the first slot temperature regulation, the second slot can be used for second temperature regulation or alternatively to control external devices via a timer. Selection is between (external device at slot 2 is permanently activated), (automatic modus) and (interval mode) Programme turn-on and turn-off times If the Automatic Mode is selected up to 8 turn-on/turn-off times can be programmed. (The Dupla T-Control Pro has an automatic sorting function which will re-arrange the time periods into the correct sequential order when exiting programming mode.) Programme interval control If the Interval mode is selected external devices are switched on for a minimum of 1 second (maximum 23 hrs., 59 min. and 59 sec.) and switched off for a minimum of 30 minutes (maximum 96 hrs. and 59 min.). 3.5 Manual activation/deactivation Both slots can be turned on and off manually by combination of buttons to be pressed. 3.6 Display light Factory presetting is an automatic adaptation of the display light.
