15. h to create their own custom wave patterns We recommend you first get familiar with the controller using the Easy Setup feature or one of the preset patterns before tackling Custom Patterns When Custom Pattern is selected a table is displayed with all the settings for the pattern There are 4 Stages or sequences that the wave pattern follows The controller first does Stage 1 with the Left Right pump speeds and the length of 17 Time specified It then moves on to Stage 2 3 and 4 After that it repeats and starts Stage 1 again In the example shown the following will take place 1 Left pump runs at 80 speed right pump is 0 off lasting for 5 seconds 2 Left and Right pumps are both off for 1 second 3 Left Pump is 0 Off right pump is running at 80 for 5 seconds 4 Both pumps are off for 1 second TIP You can preload this pattern by choosing Easy Setup and selecting the Pulse amp Pause item When Custom Pattern is selected the MIN Speed MAX Speed and Cycle Time settings in the main menu are not used The Main Menu will display n a for these adjustments when Custom Pattern is selected Cycle Time The Cycle Time defines how long it takes for a segment of a wave pattern to run In other words it defines how long the pumps go into hold between patterns For example if you set the Cycle Time to 15 seconds it will take 1 minute 4 x 15 seconds to run through

19. s Use the Test Speed function to determine your maximum speeds You MUST set the Max Speed setting to a value that is higher than the Min Speed setting You can set different maximum speeds for each pump This is handy if you re running two different models i e a RW8 and a WP 25 so you can reduce speed on the larger pump and match their flow This is also useful when one pump requires a bit more or less flow than the other Min Speeds This option sets the minimum speed that your pumps will run with any selected pattern The speed can be set from 0 to 100 representing O Volts to 24 Volts DC applied to your pumps You MUST set the Min Speed to a value that is lower than the Max Speed setting The minimum speed setting is the speed of a pump when the wave pattern calls for it For example if using the alternating pattern the min speed setting sets the speed of the pump that is turned off during the cycle By setting minimum speed to something other than 0 you can have the turned off pump run at a slower gentler speed You can set different minimum speeds for each pump Most users set both pumps to the same minimum speeds The default minimum speed is 0 If you want a slow gentle current you can set the minimum speed higher The Jebao pumps tend to stutter and stall when minimum speeds are set from 1 to 30 We recommend either a setting of 0 or a setting of 30 or higher Wave Patterns Blast
