Hydros Control X4/XP8 Pro Pack

HYDROS Control X4 / XP8 PRO Pack

The HYDROS Control X4 PRO Pack includes two Control devices, the Control XP8 and Control X4. Combine these Controls to create a secure and impressive set-up for both saltwater and freshwater aquariums. Connect up to four sensor devices, including temperature sensors, water level sensors, and leak detectors. The device also includes two Drive Ports for powering pumps and solenoids and two Probe Ports for monitoring pH and ORP levels.

Connect up to eight pieces of aquarium equipment, including heaters, lights, pumps, skimmers, and more, to the 120V AC outlets on the Control XP8. Both devices can send alerts and notifications and connect up to 8 WiFi devices for added control on additional equipment. Both devices can send alerts and notifications and 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). All HYDROS products are engineered, assembled, and supported in the USA.

About Control X4

HYDROS Control X4 is a powerful and robust aquarium controller capable of performing all essential functions needed to maintain a healthy aquarium without the need for extra expensive modules. Set up is quick and easy, making this ideal for both beginner and advanced hobbyists. Just one Control X4 can monitor temperature, pH, ORP, and water level, to name a few, and control pumps, timers, level sensors, and much more thanks to its technologically advanced design. It can be used as a standalone controller for saltwater aquariums, freshwater tanks, pond applications, or it can be added to other HYDROS Controls to build a more extensive system. The Control X4 operates on a HYDROS Safety Net and is rated IP65 to keep your equipment and aquatic life alive and thriving. All HYDROS products are engineered, assembled, and supported in the USA.

Sense Port - 4 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 Control 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

Drive Port - 2 Available
The Drive Ports provide switched 12V DC power for running small lights, motors, pumps, fans, and other accessories. The exact current being supplied by each port is continuously monitored by the Control, so if a motor or pump quits drawing current or draws too much, you will be immediately notified.

Accessories currently supported include:

• Auto Top-Off (ATO) pumps
• Cooling fans
• Cabinet LED lights
• Solenoids to control reverse osmosis systems

0-10V Port
The HYDROS Control 4 has 0-10V I/O (input and output) ports that allow it to control and receive commands from other HYDROS devices and accessories from other brands. A legacy automation system can provide input via the 0-10V Ports. They can control variable speed pumps and can also be used to monitor simple switch closures, like push buttons or float switches.

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 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.

Features or 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- n 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).
