1.1 Key-Pad
The Enviro-Monitron is programmed by using a six-button keypad situated in front of the
apparatus:
• The UP-DOWN and LEFT-RIGHT arrow keys are used to move around in the Enviro-
Monitron menu on the screen. The program uses the UP-DOWN arrow keys to enter the
numbers representing the values to be programmed.
• To use the key-pad, key in the four-number password which gives the operator access to
the programming function on the screen. The operator can then key in the numbers as
required for modifying the set-up.
• Note that only the 1 2, 3, and 4 keys on the key pad are used to enter the four-number
password.
• The ENTER key has two functions:
• Enables the operator to choose a window on the screen. The beginning of the mode
displayed on the screen is indicated by the flashing cursor.
• When a programming mode is displayed on the screen, the operator can enter the value to
be programmed.
• The ESC key is used to exit the programming mode without saving changes to the
program

A number of parameters associated with the replacement of water can be entered into the
Enviro-monitron. Given these parameters, the Enviro-monitron then calculates the rate at
which the peristaltic pump operates. These parameters are:
1. The quantity of effluent water removed from the system by the effluent pump
(Window #2). A float-valve compensates for the water loss. This valve allows water
to enter automatically as the water level drops.
2. The total volume of water in the system (filtration module and habitat module)
(Window #3). This volume of water is established at the factory and should not be
changed unless the closed system is modified (e.g. if a tank is removed etc.)
3. The percentage of water that has to be replaced (Window #4). For example, if a
closed circuit contained a total water volume of 100 L, a replacement of 10% would
represent a replacement of 10 L every 24 hours. Thus, the total volume of the unit
would be replaced in 10 days.
