Quick setup guide for connecting your Coralvue Hydros controller to the aF4 via 0-10v.

Hydros devices have two types of 0-10v ports — IN and OUT. The aF4 requires the OUT port (purple). Using the IN port will not work.
Do not power the aF4 from a Hydros-controlled outlet. Power it directly from the wall — a controlled outlet will simply stay on 24/7 and adds no benefit.
Before you begin
This guided wizard is the fastest path to resolution. Completing it routes your request directly to the appropriate technician.
The aF4 is fully compatible with the Coralvue Hydros™ aquarium controller via the 0-10v link port. Once connected, Hydros takes over feed scheduling — the aF4's built-in 24-hour schedule is overridden.
