Aquascape Smart Control devices operate on either standard 120 V AC household electricity or low-voltage power supplied through a transformer. Wattage requirements vary depending on the device and the equipment connected to it.
Smart Control Plug — Item #82001
- Operating voltage: 120 V AC, 60 Hz
- Maximum load per outlet: 1,000 W
- Maximum combined load: 1,500 W across all three outlets
The Smart Control Plug controls connected electrical equipment. The total combined load must not exceed 1,500 W, and no individual outlet may exceed 1,000 W.
Smart Control Hub — Item #84074
- Operating voltage: 12 V low-voltage power supply
- Maximum connected lighting load: 150 W
- Power source: Compatible 12 V transformer, sold separately
The Smart Control Hub controls Aquascape color-changing lights. The combined wattage of connected lights must not exceed 150 W. The transformer must also be appropriately sized for the connected lighting load.
Smart Pump Receiver — Item #45064
- Operating voltage: 120 V AC, 60 Hz
- Approximate receiver power consumption: 2–5 W
- Connected pump wattage: Varies by compatible adjustable-flow pump model and flow setting
The Smart Pump Receiver controls compatible Aquascape adjustable-flow pumps. The pump consumes most of the electricity, while the receiver itself uses approximately 2–5 W.
Smart Pump Receiver Large — Item #45065
- Operating voltage: 120 V AC, 60 Hz
- Approximate receiver power consumption: 2–5 W
- Connected pump wattage: 655–1,006 W when used with the SLD 5000–9000 Adjustable Flow Pond Pump
The Smart Pump Receiver Large controls the SLD 5000–9000 Adjustable Flow Pond Pump. The pump's power consumption varies with its flow setting.
Smart Pond Thermometer — Items #74012 and #74013
- Operating voltage: 10–15 V
- Power consumption: 1.5 W ±10%
- Required power supply: 12 V transformer
- Transformer: Included with Item #74013
The Smart Pond Thermometer operates using low-voltage electricity and must not be connected directly to a 120 V electrical outlet without the appropriate transformer.
Smart Pond Dosing System XT — Item #40040
- Transformer output: 12 V AC, 60 Hz
- Controller power consumption: 6 W
- Transformer rating: 12 W
The Smart Pond Dosing System XT uses a low-voltage transformer to power its controller. The transformer rating of 12 W is different from the controller's 6 W power consumption.
Important electrical information
- Voltage (V) identifies the electrical supply required to operate a device.
- Wattage (W) identifies electrical power consumption or the maximum connected load, depending on the specification.
- Maximum load capacity is the maximum wattage a controller can safely support and is not the controller's own power consumption.
- Always use the correct electrical supply and appropriately rated, GFCI-protected outlets for equipment installed near water.
- Do not exceed the manufacturer's maximum connected wattage limits.
