Automatic Sun and Moon Sync: Accurate Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, and Moonset Times
Introducing the revolutionary Sun Moon Sync feature! This cutting-edge technology perfectly aligns with the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times for your local or chosen location. Thanks to the HELIUS Program, light intensity adjusts dynamically to provide a seamless lighting transition that mirrors the natural changes in daylight and moonlight.
But that’s not all— our system also automatically takes the moon cycle into account for ultimate precision.
What does this mean for you? It means that all you need to do is install the app, and your lighting will sync effortlessly with your local environment.
New Feature
Our system now includes an exciting new feature that allows users to create their own custom programs in addition to the pre-installed HELIUS settings. This means you can tailor your lighting experience even further to suit your unique preferences.
This new feature will give you unprecedented control over your aquarium lighting, building on our already advanced sun and moon synchronization capabilities.
VERY IMPORTANT – Updating the Orphek App:
If you already have the Orphek App installed on your device, make sure it is updated to the latest version.
Note: You can enable the Auto Upgrade feature to automatically update your light settings. However, some important updates may still require your confirmation.
Device Update: When a new update is available, the App will notify you with a pop-up message stating “NEW UPDATES.” Simply click on “UPDATE NOW.”
Once the update is complete, perform the NET PAIRING process again by pressing the reset button four times.
Clear Cache: To clear the cache, go to “Me,” then click the settings symbol (located at the top right), and select “Clear Cache.”
Learn how to use Sun & Moon Synchronizer with Helius Pre- Installed Program
Sun & Moon Synchronizer is the latest and most advanced technology introduced by Orphek
Upon initial entry into the application, users are introduced to the Sun & Moon Synchronizer feature (button on the left side up – Sun Moon Sync), which operates on default settings!
This mean that you not need to do any program the light is already sync with your local sun and moon,
When navigating from the Dashboard, users will notice the Sun Moon Sync button illuminated in blue, indicating its activation.
Additionally, the light intensity adjusts dynamically based on HELIUS Pre-Installed Program enhancing user experience and environmental responsiveness. The included graph provides a visual representation of how light intensity varies throughout the day.
Two cyan markers on the time axis indicate the start and end of the moon cycle, providing clear reference points for users.
Location Selection and Configuration:
To specify your desired location, click to access the map interface, where you can pinpoint the desired place. After selecting the location, click the (SELECT) button to confirm your choice. If sunrise and sunset times cannot be retrieved for the chosen region, a notification will prompt you to select an alternative location, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
Managing Solar & Lunar Sync Settings:
To deactivate the Sun & Moon Synchronizer feature, move the (ENABLE) button to the off position and click the (SEND) button to apply the changes.
Customize Programs – Synchronize your lighting your way:
To adjust the time settings, switch the mode from (AUTO) to (CUSTOM) by moving the respective button. Select the desired time point by clicking the side-facing arrow icon, then confirm your selection with the downward-facing arrow icon.
Once all adjustments are made, click the (SEND) button to implement the updated settings.
In Group mode (if you have multiple lights and create a group), the Sun & Moon Synchronizer feature operates differently. It only functions in custom mode, with the default time set to 0. You need to set the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times in advance. The graph will update accordingly.
Important Note: Any changes or operations performed on the Sun & Moon Synchronizer feature require clicking the (SEND) button for them to take effect. Failure to do so will result in the light not executing the new changes or operations, and the modifications will not be saved.
Moon Cycle Activation and Functionality (LUNAR SCREEN):
By moving the (MOON CYCLE) button to the on position, the moon mode will operate during moonrise and moonset times. During this period, the Lunar function within the Expand section will activate automatically, with the start and end times determined by the moonrise and moonset times, respectively.
Note: In this case, you are not allowed to set the start and end times manually.
If you have previously set the start and end times in Lunar, you will observe that these times are automatically adjusted when you access the Lunar feature.
However, when you deactivate the Sun Moon Sync feature and initiate the Program to run, the Lunar start and end times will revert to the previously set times. This occurs because the Lunar function operates under the Program setting, leading to the reversion of time settings.
In Moon Cycle mode, the light intensity adjusts according to the calendar date, simulating the phases of the moon. The Elapsed Time indicator displays the current calendar date.
For instance, if today is the first day of the month, the Elapsed Time indicator will display “1 day” and the light intensity will operate at 0.067%. By the fifteenth day, corresponding to the full moon phase, the Elapsed Time will show “15 days” and the light intensity will increase to 1%.
The light intensity increases by 0.067% daily from the first to the fifteenth day, and then decreases by 0.067% each day thereafter until it reaches 0% on the thirtieth day.
Whether the Solar & Lunar Synchronizer feature or the Program mode is active, when it is moon time, the lunar icon on the Dashboard will illuminate in blue, indicating that the moon mode is operational.
If the Sun Moon Sync is active and the sunrise and sunset times encompass the moonrise and moonset times, resulting in no lunar presence, all channels on the Dashboard will display 0%.
