Redefining Function
The ReefKeeper Elite redefined function and integration for aquarium
control systems. From the start, this controller has set the standard for all
other controllers on the market in terms of style and design, as well as
function. The ReefKeeper Elite, with its 11 button interface, powerful
feature set and upgradeable firmware, shows why it’s the leader in today’s
market. This system is backed by over 40 years of engineering experience and is
rooted in the aquatics hobby with a strong focus on our customers. We not only
design the ReefKeeper Elite control system, we use it too. All our
personal tanks are powered by the same systems our customers use – if we won't
run it, we won't sell it!
Advanced Integration
In terms of integration, the ReefKeeper Elite takes it to a new level. For
example, with our new Storm mode (2.0+) and advanced pump control for Tunze
pumps, you can integrate scheduled storms in your tank, night mode and tidal
affects. You’re also able to shut down pumps and circulation when doing
maintenance or feedings all at the touch of a button. Likewise, combining
lighting and temperature allows us to safely reduce the light levels of the
tanks system if it gets too hot. This helps reduce the amount of heat energy
into the tank when your cooling system is overpowered by hot days, or
malfunction.
Expandability
With over 12 modules either released or on the way, the ReefKeeper Elite can be
configured in millions of possible arrangements. This makes the control system
truly customizable allowing you to setup a control system that is as unique as
your needs and wants. Whether you’re looking to interface your ReefKeeper with a
home-automation system, or simpley automate daily tasks, you’re sure to find a
variety of modules that will work for you.
The ReefKeeper Elite has more than enough power and ability to monitor
and control pH, ORP, Salinity, ATO temperature; run wavemakers, lighting cycles,
and more for one or multiple aquariums.
pH Control
With the ability to monitor multiple pH probes you can run a reactor as well as
monitor the pH of your main system.
Temp Control
Control dual stage heating and cooling with heaters, chillers and fans with
different set points. Everything you need to hold your temperature rock solid.
ORP Control
Whether you’re dosing ozone or just want to keep an eye on ORP, the ReefKeeper
has you covered.
Salinity Control
Use this probe to make sure your water changes are spot on. Consistent salt
levels between mix water and system water is critical to the heath of your
system.
Auto Top-off
Use the ReefKeeper Elite to automate this daily task. When paired with
one or more float switches, you can set the system up to add RO water any amount
as needed. This level of control helps reduce fluctuations in salt levels as
well as temperature and other important parameters.
Wavemakers
With four unique programmable settings, the ReefKeeper Elite’s wavemaker
setting can setup opposing pump cycles to simulate turbulent flow in your tank.
Expandable
One of the highlights of the ReefKeeper Elite system is its ability to grow with
your needs. With the ability to interface with over 60 modules the ReefKeeper
Elite can take on any tank or tanks!
Ethernet Capable
With the optional NET module the ReefKeeper Elite is a powerful tool that can
email or TXT message you when problems arise. You can also log in from anywhere
in the world and check on your aquarium.
Upgradeability
The ReefKeeper Elite has upgradeable firmware so your controller can grow with
your system and as new features are released.
11 Button Interface
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.
128 x 64 Graphical display (w/RGB backlight and 30 background colors)
The ReefKeeper Elite utilizes a graphical display that allows us to show status
icons, data graphs, and a variety of information in a way that has not been
possible until now.
Multiple Mounting Options
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.
Home Screen (w/easy to read icons and data)
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!
Simple menu system for easy configuration
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.
Night Mode - Independently Programmable
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.
63 Alarms
With 63 alarms and an audible, visual and email alert you'll know when any of
your critical system parameters are out of range.
Data Logging
The ReefKeeper Elite has onboard data logging for up to 32 probes/device with
over 1000 data points each.
Data Graphing
With our new graphical head unit comes the ability to really display historic
data the right way. Our dynamic graphing will help you track the performance of
your system over time allowing you to quickly see when and where things are
happening.
Metal Halide control with "Sure-On"
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.
Light Timer with Weekday/Weekend schedules and safety temp cut off
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.
Lunar Simulation
With the optional MLC module the ReefKeeper Elite system can simulate a true
lunar cycle.
Multi-timer function
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.
63 Dedicated Timers
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.
4 Standby/Feed/Service modes
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.
Control Functions
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!
Sumps/Skimmers pump control
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.
Wavemaker A/B and C/D pump control
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.
Top-off pump control
Use this setting to control a pump based on a micro switch for top-off and many
other features.
Key Lock
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.
Battery Backup
The battery in the ReefKeeper Elite is user serviceable. If it ever goes dead it
can be replaced without the need for service.
Audible Feedback
The ReefKeeper Elite has audible feedback. You can turn this feature on or off
depending on your preference.
Splash-proof Faceplate
Wet fingers aren't a problem with our full covering face plate.
Upgradeable Firmware
The ReefKeeper Elite has upgradeable firmware. This will help you maintain your
investment over time and allow you it grow as we release more and more
expandability!
