Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper ELITE TITANIUM System, Limited Edition
The ReefKeeper Elite is true to its name, standing alone in the
industry as the most innovative aquarium controller on the market. With
the most intuitive interface and easy to use system controls, you'll
find it will simplify all aspects of your aquarium system that it
controls. There's also no need to find a power outlet near the head unit
as there's no power cord needed; power is provided right from the bus.
The
compact and convenient design, multiple mounting options and great
looks makes the ReefKeeper Elite right for almost any installation; and
without any unsightly probe wires dangling about, the head unit will add
a touch of class to any tank!
The ReefKeeper is the most
expandable controller we know of, allowing the control of over 250
outlets. It has the capability of reading more probes and input devices
than even the most demanding system will ever need. All this makes the
RKE suitable for tanks from 1 to 10,000 gallons and beyond.
One
of the biggest advantages of the RKE system is what it comes with! Other
controllers leave you wanting and having to purchase add-ons just to
get them to a usable level. The RKE system includes two PC4s; that's 8
outlets to control! You also get an SL1 that will allow you to monitor
pH, ORP, temperature and two switches; not to mention a free temperature
probe and pH probe. All this for hundreds of dollars less than other
controllers that barely give you enough to get started.

Ethernet Capable
Because the ReefKeeper
Elite is a modular system we have the ability to develop new features as
time goes on. One feature that we've been defining is an Ethernet
module that will allow users to take advantage of their home networks
and the World Wide Web. Digital Aquatics is dedicated to producing
quality products at great prices! This module is still under development
and we're working on every aspect of it to reduce cost to you and NOT
compromise safety and functionality. More to come on this optional
module.
Wireless Communication
While a USB
connection for your ReefKeeper Elite is needed for updates to firmware,
nobody wants an unsightly wire running from their ReefKeeper to their
PC. This will offer a Zigbee like wireless network experience. While
we're not ready to release all the details, our wireless module will
give you freedoms and abilities that other systems just can't offer.
More to come on this optional module.
Upgradeability
The RKE also has upgradeable firmware so your controller can grow with your system; and firmware updates are always free!
NEW - Advanced 11 button CapSense interface
By expanding from the traditional 3 button interfaces of the past we
have given the user a more intuitive interface to navigate with. The RK
Elite menu, programming, and viewing systems take full advantage of the
new interface providing an all around easier experience.
NEW - 128 x 64 Graphical display)
The RK Elite utilizes a graphical display that allows us to display
status icons, data graphs, and a variety of information in a way that
has not been possible before.
NEW - More than 250 Programmable Channels
One of the highlights of the RK Elite system is its ability to control
over 250 outlets. While most people will never need that many outlets,
some will. Our goal is to be forward thinking and give your new system
the freedom to grow.
Multiple Mounting Options
Like the RK1 and RK2 the RK Elite provides for multiple mounting
options like flush mount and 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. Let face it, we all
work hard to keep our tanks looking good and the RKE will be a great
addition!
NEW - Home Screen (w/easy to read icons and data)
The new 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 RK Elite. With the advantage of the new interface
we're able to really produce a one of a kind experience.
Night Mode - Independently Programmable
Our Night Mode feature allows the RK 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.
NEW - 63 Alarms With 63 alarms and an audible and visual alert you'll know when any of your critical system parameters are out of range.
NEW - Data Logging The RK Elite has onboard data logging for up to 32 probes/device with over 1000 data points each.
NEW - 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 RK 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.
NEW - 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.
Moon Light Controller (optional) With the optional MLC the RK Elite system can simulate a true lunar cycle. Read more on the RKM-MLC in that section.
NEW - Multi-timer function
The multi-timer is all new. You're now able to 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.
NEW - 63 Dedicated Timers
There are 63 advanced timers you can program and with the Multi-timer
you can mix and match them in any fashion you'd like to get even more
complex functions.
NEW - 2 Standby/Feed/Service modes
The RK Elite also sports two 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 new "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
We've expanded our old wavemaker control to include a "D" mode. Now you
can set up multiple pairs of power heads to get all the turbulent flow
you need!
NEW - Top-off pump control Use this setting to control a pump based on a micro switch for top-off and many other features.
NEW - Key Lock
Lock out unwanted and accidental usage of your RK 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 RK Elite is user serviceable. If it ever goes dead it can be replaced without the need for service.
NEW - Audible Feedback Also new to the RK Elite is 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
Like the RK2 before it the RK 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!
