The ReefKeeper Elite has upgradeable firmware so your controller can grow with your system and as new features are released.
By expanding from the traditional 3 button interfaces of the past we have given the user a more intuitive experience. The ReefKeeper Elite menu system and programming options take full advantage of the new interface providing an all around superior experience.
The ReefKeeper Elite utilizes a graphical display that allows us to show status icons and a variety of information in a way that has not been possible until now.
The ReefKeeper Elite provides for multiple mounting options such as flush or surface mount. While other controllers are big and awkward to mount needing unstable Velcro or unsightly restraints the RKE will add a touch of class to your system.
The ReefKeeper Elite Home Screen provides you with quick information that is well laid out and easy to read. Icons provide you the current state of your system while you can quickly scroll through all the data for your tank with the touch of a button. Keeping tabs on your tank has never been easier!
We've worked hard to try and make the interface as simple and intuitive as possible for the ReefKeeper Elite. With the advantage of the expanded interface we're able to really produce a one of a kind experience.
Our Night Mode feature allows the ReefKeeper Elite to change depending on the time of day. In Night Mode the RK Elite can activate your Moon Light Controller, dim your display, transitioning your tank into a calm state.
With 63 alarms and an audible, visual and email alert you'll know when any of your critical system parameters are out of range.
Just like the RK1 and RK2 the ReefKeeper Elite system will make sure your Metal Halide bulbs come back on after a power interruption. Sure-On is a 15 minute delay that gives these expensive and sensitive bulbs time to cool which insures safe, continuing usage over time.
New to the light timer is the ability to set different lighting modes for weekdays and weekends. This gives you the option of setting a lighting cycle that caters to your viewing schedule as it changes throughout the week. You still have our safety cut off temp that will shut your lights down if your tank gets above some set point.
With the optional MLC module the ReefKeeper Elite system can simulate a true lunar cycle.
You can stack up to four unique timers to create any on/off cycles you would like. This is great for dosing and other scheduled tasks that don't happen on a regular interval or for creating your own special cycle based on your needs.
There are 63 advanced timers you can program with day of week and with the Multi-timer you can mix and match them in any fashion you'd like to get even more complex functions.
The ReefKeeper Elite has 4 user settable standby functions. This gives you the flexibility to configure multiple service modes for activities like feeding, water changes, and other maintenance.
The "Controller" function can take any probe input and act on it with a user settable hysteresis. This includes pH, ORP, temperature and micro switches just for starters. You can also take action based on current draw or load on any PC4 and you'll be able use any future probes that are added to the system!
You can program the sump pump and skimmer pump functions to be off in standby and even have a standby delay just to make sure your system doesn't overflow or over skim food after a feeding.
There are 4 wavemaker cycles in the ReefKeeper Elite, cycles A/B and C/D. When a channel is designated as a pump you can select a wavemaker cycle. Each cycle pair alternate opposite each other to simulate wave motion. Under the wavemaker setup you can set how long you want each cycle time to be. During night mode the cycle can be turned off to give a calming affect.
Use this setting to control a pump based on a micro switch for top-off and many other features.
Lock out unwanted and accidental usage of your ReefKeeper Elite. With a simple lock, you can make sure the kids, your friends or anyone else doesn't mess with your controller.
