About the Hydros Control X3 Aquarium Controller

The HYDROS Control X3 can connect to two sensor devices including temperature sensors, water level sensors, and leak detectors. The device also includes a Probe Port for monitoring pH or ORP levels, Control X3 can send alerts and notifications and control outlets for lights, pumps, feeders, and more.

Achieve Ultimate Aquarium Control with the Control X3

Set up is quick and easy, making this ideal for both beginner and advanced hobbyists. Monitor temperature, detect leaks, power equipment, control outlets, and more with ease through the HYDROS App.

Versatile and Expandable without Extra Modules
Use any HYDROS device by itself or connect multiple devices as part of a larger automated aquarium system with NO single point of communication failure. Every HYDROS product is a smart device with its own CPU and scheduling capabilities.

IP-65 Rated -Splash Proof, Dust Proof, and Secure Connection
HYDROS devices look like industrial controllers because they are built to function in the harsh environment of a marine aquarium. The IP-65 rated HYDROS enclosure and aircraft-style connectors ensure long term reliability in the face of splashes and corrosive salt spray.

What you can expect from your HYDROS Smart Device

Control your HYDROS device(s) from anywhere in the world using the technologically advanced HYDROS cloud-based app

Ability to monitor and control your HYDROS device(s) locally through WiFi

A fast dual-core 32-bit processor that allows control decisions to be made within each device

Internal health monitoring to report voltages, currents, CPU status, and the internal temperature of each device

HYDROS Command Bus connections to transfer data and power to devices

Sense Port - 2 Available
The Sense Port is a new concept in aquarium parameter measurement. HYDROS devices include several Sense Ports. A Sense Port is a generic input port that can accept data from numerous different types of sensors.

The Hydros Controller Sense Ports currently support

• Temperature probes
• Optical level sensors (single and dual)
• Capacitive non-contact liquid level sensors
• Rope leak detectors
• Point leak detectors
• Flow rate sensors
• Magnetic switches
• Push-button switches

Probe Port - 1 Available
One of the most remarkable ports on the HYDROS Control X3 is the Probe Port.You can connect an ORP or a pH probe to the Probe Port but, this is no ordinary pH input! The circuitry is based on an ultra-high-quality input chip specifically designed for these types of probes. Each pH input provides digital galvanic isolation from the rest of the system. Galvanic isolation prevents interference with other accessories connected tothe system like motors and pumps. Digital Galvanic isolation preserves the accuracy of the measurement by converting the signal to a digital domain before crossing the isolation threshold.

Command Bus - 2 Available
The HYDROS Command Bus is used to power the Control as well as communicate with other HYDROS devices for the ultimate failsafe.

About the Hydros Control XP8

The HYDROS Control XP8 is an eight outlet (120V AC) energy bar and controller hybrid specifically designed for equipment like heaters and return pumps which are critical to the life support of any aquarium system. Each of the individually controlled outlets is built into the HYDROS controller for the highest level of security. The Control XP8 has a built-in 60W universal voltage Meanwell power supply with a 14amp max power capacity and is designed to pass ETL/UL certification. Besides the clicking on and off of the controlled outlets, the XP8 is completely passively cooled and with its isolated power circuitry, the controller runs completely silent. Best of all, each of the eight outlets has individual power monitoring capabilities.

Besides being an overbuilt power strip, the Control XP8 is also a fully functioning HYDROS system controller capable of taking over intelligent decisions based on the status of other HYDROS Devices within the Collective. The two HYDROS Command Bus ports on the XP8 allow for a wired connection to any other HYDROS controller to form a collective of all Controls in one for the ultimate failsafe system. Control and monitor your Control XP8 energy bar from anywhere in the world using the technologically advanced HYDROS cloud-based app. The Control XP8 also has the ability to monitor and control up to eight different HYDROS WiFi devices.

Features of the HYDROS Control XP8

• Power up to 14 amps of system-critical life support equipment
• The Control XP8 is a full brain that can share and take over the decision-making of a HYDROS Collective
• Control up to 8 WiFi devices like fish feeders, smart outlets, and even additional WiFi power strips
• Command Bus port provides power add redundancy power to your HYDROS Collective
• Designed to pass ETL/UL Certification
• Universal voltage works with both 110 and 220V
• Built-in 60W Meanwell Power Supply
• No noisy fans, the XP8 is completely passively cooled
• Optical isolation between the power circuitry and the control circuitry. This provides safety failure, and it isolates the control circuitry to reduce noise.
• Engineered, assembled, and supported in the USA.

Control XP8 Specifications

• Max Per Relay: 8A
• Total Max Amperage: 14A
• 8 - Controllable Power Outlets - Eight controllable AC power outlets each with individual power monitoring capabilities to safely manage aquarium equipment like heaters, lighting, water pumps, protein skimmers, filters, and pretty much anything else.
• 2 - Command Bus - The HYDROS Command Bus is used to power the Control as well as communicate with other HYDROS devices for the ultimate failsafe.
• Up to 8 WiFi Devices - Connect up to 8 WiFi devices for added modular control on additional equipment like lights, pumps, feeders, and more by simply adding a HYDROS WiFi Power Strip or HYDROS Smart Plug (both sold separately).
• 1 Year manufacturers limited warranty
