Frequently Asked Questions - StreamMax Pump Controller OASE

How to configure P1 and P2 connections for the pumps?

Access configuration mode by pressing Mode until CON, confirm with OK. Select P1- or P2- according to the pump, confirm, then choose the appropriate model (St2, St4 or St5) and validate.

What to do if error Err 001 is displayed?

Err 001 indicates an overcurrent on P1. Unblock the pump's operating unit, clean it if dirty, or replace it if worn. Also check that the flow regulator is pushed towards the outlet. If the problem persists, replace the pump or the controller.

How to activate Feeding mode (FEE)?

Hold down the OK button for about 3 seconds. The FEE mode activates and the pumps stop or run at 10% for 3 minutes. To configure the behavior, go to configuration mode FEH and choose NO (stop) or d10 (10%).

What are the different operating modes?

The modes are: OFF (pumps stopped), FEE (feeding), ALL (same speed on both pumps), P1 and P2 (individual speed per pump), and SCE (predefined circulation profile).

How to clean the StreamMax Pump Controller?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Never immerse the device in water.

How to restore factory settings?

Access configuration mode (CON), select dEF and confirm with OK. All individual settings will be deleted and the device will return to OFF mode.

Can I connect the StreamMax Pump Controller to the Easy Aquarium Control (EAC) system?

Yes, you can integrate it into the EAC system using the supplied data cable and an EAC Aquarium Controller (ref. 33885). Plug in the RJ-45 cable and make sure the clip snaps in.

What types of pumps are compatible?

The controller is designed for StreamMax Premium circulation pumps: models 2000 (33948), 4000 (33949) and 5000 (33955). Use only these pumps with the original power supply.

What does the flashing screen mean after a confirmation?

The screen flashes for about 10 seconds after confirming a speed or profile. This indicates that the value has been taken into account. If no action is taken for 40 seconds, the screen turns off; the light point remains on to indicate operation.

How to completely turn off the device?

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. The device does not have a power switch; it turns on automatically when plugged into the mains.
