Maxspect MJ-SK200 Protein Skimmer Instruction Manual

1. නිෂ්පාදන අවසන්view

The Maxspect Jump SK200 Protein Skimmer is an advanced filtration device designed for marine reef aquariums, suitable for volumes ranging from 260 to 650 liters. It features an innovative design that deviates from conventional skimmers, incorporating dual water intakes and a patented dual needle wheel system for superior foam production and efficiency.

Key features include an integrated air silencer for quiet operation, a special bubble trap to prevent microbubbles from entering the main display tank, and a precise water level control dial integrated into the skimmer body. The skimmer is powered by a DC pump, ensuring smooth and nearly silent operation, and includes a soft start function with overflow protection for enhanced safety and reliability. Its quick-release design simplifies maintenance and cleaning.

3. පිහිටුවීම සහ ස්ථාපනය

The Maxspect MJ-SK200 is a standalone protein skimmer designed for in-sump operation. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. ඇසිරීම: ඇසුරුම්කරණයෙන් සියලුම සංරචක ප්‍රවේශමෙන් ඉවත් කරන්න. ප්‍රවාහනයේදී හානි සිදුවී ඇත්දැයි පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.
2. එකලස් කිරීම: The skimmer comes largely pre-assembled. Attach the collection cup to the skimmer body by aligning the cup with the top of the skimmer and twisting gently until secure. Ensure the air line is properly connected to the air silencer.
3. ස්ථානගත කිරීම: Place the skimmer in your aquarium sump. Ensure the skimmer is on a stable, level surface.
4. ජල මට්ටම: The optimal operating water level for the MJ-SK200 is between 16 cm and 20 cm (approximately 6.3 to 7.9 inches) from the bottom of the skimmer base. Adjust your sump's water level or use a skimmer stand if necessary to achieve this range.
5. බල සම්බන්ධතාවය: Connect the skimmer pump's power cable to the intelligent controller. Then, connect the controller's power adapter to a suitable power outlet. Do not power on yet.

4. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්

The MJ-SK200 is controlled via its intelligent inline controller.

1. බල ගැන්වීම: Once the skimmer is properly placed and submerged in water, plug the controller's power adapter into a wall outlet. The skimmer will initiate a soft start sequence.
2. ආරම්භක බිඳවැටීම: A new skimmer requires a break-in period, typically 1-2 weeks, during which it may produce inconsistent foam. This is normal as manufacturing residues dissipate.
3. Adjusting Water Level (Internal): The skimmer features an integrated dial on the front for precise internal water level adjustment. Turn the dial clockwise to raise the internal water level (for wetter foam) and counter-clockwise to lower it (for drier foam).
4. පාලක කාර්යයන්:
   • බල බොත්තම (Ⓘ): Press to turn the skimmer on or off.
   • +/- බොත්තම්: Adjust the pump speed and thus the foam production. Refer to the controller's display for current settings.
   • Feed Mode Button (⏱): Activates a temporary shutdown for feeding, typically for 10 minutes, after which the skimmer resumes operation automatically.
   • Mode Button (Ⓜ): Cycles through different operating modes or settings if available.
5. Foam Consistency: Aim for a consistent, dark tea-colored skimmate in the collection cup. Adjust the internal water level and pump speed as needed to achieve this. Wetter foam is lighter in color and more liquid, while drier foam is darker and thicker.

5. නඩත්තු කිරීම

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your protein skimmer. The MJ-SK200's quick-release design simplifies these tasks.

1. Collection Cup Cleaning (Daily/Weekly):
   • Turn off the skimmer using the controller.
   • Remove the collection cup by twisting and lifting it off the skimmer body.
   • Empty the skimmate and rinse the cup thoroughly with fresh water. Use a brush if necessary to remove stubborn residue.
   • Reattach the collection cup securely.
2. Skimmer Body and Pump Cleaning (Monthly/Bi-monthly):
   • Disconnect the skimmer from power.
   • Remove the skimmer from the sump.
   • Utilize the quick-release mechanisms to disassemble the skimmer body and access the pump.
   • Carefully remove the pump and impeller assembly. Clean all components, including the impeller, volute, and pump housing, using a brush and fresh water. For stubborn calcium deposits, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
   • Clean the skimmer body, reaction chamber, and air intake line.
   • Reassemble all components, ensuring all O-rings and seals are properly seated to prevent leaks.
   • Return the skimmer to the sump and reconnect power.
