Before you begin
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.
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.
