 System
Description
 The
good-value alternative - precise highly efficient
A
five-year guarantee - and your peace of mind is ensured
This compact aquaristic computer is a comfortable measuring, regulation and
control system. Throughout the course of its development, our engineers have
given highest priority to ease of operation.
Up to two water values (e.g. pH and temperature) are permanently monitored
by the iks aquastar midi and can be regulated via the switch sockets. A switch
socket is already included in the basic version which can have any function
allocated to it. The practical timing and interval functions are equivalent
to the comprehensive and well-designed functions of the iks aquastar.
A two-line text display and a large LED display panel ensure
a high level of operating comfort and excellent legibility of the readings
even in the dark and from further away.
With an additional external display, you can read your latest
measurement data even in another room.
The system is available in the models iks aquastar midi pH (pH/temperature)
and iks aquastar midi redox (redox/temperature).
Remarkable
functions:
 logical
and easy operation.
You
can connect up to two socket panels, with 4 sockets each,
to the iks aquastar midi. That means 1 plus 8
controlled sockets. These are also available in
a variable-output version for extremely realistic simulations.
With
the iks aquastar midi you can programme up to 32
timer functions (with weekday function). The shortest
switch interval is only 1 second long. This enables you,
for example, to add minimal amounts of trace
elements evenly and automatically with the help of a dosing
pump (such as the iks Vario). (The dosing
pump iks Vario MP 045 feeds an amount of only 0,075 ml
per second at its lowest setting.
The interval
functions can be individually adjusted to suit
your own requirements. The active and passive phases
of the interval duration can be set separately from each
other, whereby a random factor (time) can
be given for each one.
The
extensive day/night simulation makes child's
play of your aquarium's lighting and optimises it too. You
can use it to set a wide variety of lighting on- and off
times. If the lighting you use can be dimmed, you
can simulate sunrise and sunset. It's even possible to
recreate the sunrise and sunset of a particular region
of the world (by entering the latitude and longitude.This
function even makes the period of the reduction
in nocturnal values possible (pH-value, temperature,
current etc.).
The integrated
lunar-phase simulation gives you everything you
want. You can choose between two alternatives.
A practice-related one for the "aquarium enthusiast" and
the and one for the authentic simulation
of moonlight (for coral cultivation), taking into account
the duration as well as the intensity of the
light. It too allows you to simulate the lunar phase of
a particular region of the world, the tropics for example
(again, by entering latitude and longitude!
There
is also a very wide spectrum of possibilities for current
simulation such as pulsating waves or high/low
tide. No matter how large your aquarium is and
regardless of the shape it may have, this simulation
function, thought out right down to the last detail, makes
it possible for you to create the optimum
current for any tank. You can control up to eight pumps!
In
the "professional" programming level, up
to eight different control processes can be carried
out using one measurement
and control module. An example: The tank-floor heating
system on Socket 1 is activated
at 25° C. If the temperature continues to fall to 24.5° C,
a heating element on Socket 2 will cut in.
If the temperature in your tank becomes too high, a fan/cooler
on Socket 3 can be activated at, say, 27°C.
For all these functions you can add different values for day/night and summer/winter,
too.
All
control processes can have upper and lower
alarm limits allocated to them.
Acoustic,
visual and external alarm (e.g.
for sirens or warning lights).
Automatic
calibration with sensor test (for pH, redox)
Using
the iks aquastar midi any of the measured values can be stored
and transferred to a PC at any intervals
you decide upon. Thus, 4000 chains of measurements (one
chain comprises date, time and the values
of all the connected sensors) can be stored in the memory.
The lead required to do this is available
from iks. The software necessary for transferring the data
to your PC (iks-datastar) is can be downloaded free-of-charge in
the section "Software" on this website. With
the help of your PC you can recognise
and identify long-term trends and interdependencies between
the most diverse factors in your aquarium.
A PC programme for comfortable evaluation of data (graphs,
database, tables, online display etc.)
is currently being developed.
Set
for the future with the update function: As the
whole system is constantly undergoing further development
you have the opportunity of installing the latest programmes
(functions) from the Internet
with a PC. That means : You are
always up-to-date!
Absolutely excellent
value for money!
What other systems offers you so much (apart from
the iks aquastar)?
