EcoTech Marine Gen 2 MP40 - Manual (Page 7)

A pump group consists of one master pump and at least one slave pump. There can only be one master pump per group which can
include an unlimited number of slave pumps.
In order to set a pump as a master or a slave, the aquarist must first enter the MP40w’s configuration mode. Within configuration
mode one can do one of three different things:
Masters and slaves must be set as groups and each group must be programed separately. It is imperative that the following steps are
preformed in order and exactly as described. It is possible to have up to seven groups in one area each with a unique master pump.

Step 2: Enter Configuration Mode
All pumps in a group must then be set into configuration mode before
the assignment of slave or master status. This configuration must
be performed with the drivers in close proximity to ensure proper
assignment. The drivers will blink red, white and blue in this mode.

Step 4: Assign the Slaves
Set all the slave pumps by pressing the set button on each driver. The
LED will then blink blue and yellow.
NOTE: If any slave blinks blue and red, it was too far away from the
master driver and could not communicate properly.

Step 6: Begin Normal Operation
Use the controls on the Master Pump to operate all pumps in the group. Slave pumps can only be set to sync or anti-sync modes.
Step 7: Program Subsequent Groups
Now that the first group is programmed, repeat steps 1-5 on the next group of pumps, if so desired.
NOTE: The subsequent pump groups must be programmed near the original group. For example, if running two different groups in
separate areas of your house, the second group must be programmed within 5 feet the first group to ensure proper communication.
Programming Multiple Pumps
Step 1: Clear Driver Memory
The internal memory of each unit must be cleared before setting
up a group.
Step 3: Assign the Master
Set the master pump by pressing the mode button. The LED will
then blink blue and green.
Step 5: Reset the Master
Hold the mode button on the master pump after completing ALL
the master/slave assignments.
