What Is ReefControl Pro Deluxe Kit?

Red Sea ReefControl Pro Deluxe Kit is the high-end version of Red Sea’s ReefControl automation and monitoring system. It’s built for serious reef aquarists who want full monitoring, data logging, and control over various parameters and devices in their aquarium within the ReefBeat ecosystem.

Capabilities of ReefControl Pro Deluxe Kit

1. Supports Multiple Digital Sensors / Probes

   • The Pro Deluxe controller supports up to 7 ReefSense digital probes/sensors.

   • Sensor types include: pH + temperature, salinity + temperature, ORP, water-level sensors, and leak detectors.

   • Thanks to its digital interface, any ReefSense probe can be plugged into any port — no need to match “this probe to that port.”

   • The design is future-proof: as Red Sea introduces new types of ReefSense sensors, they can be integrated without needing a new controller.

2. Comes With Several Pre-Installed Probes

   • The Deluxe kit typically includes: a pH + temperature probe, a salinity + temperature probe, an ORP probe, and a leak detector.

   • It also includes a height-adjustable probe holder for convenient mounting.

3. Device Control (12 V DC + AC)

   • The controller has 2 outputs for 12 V DC devices (e.g., small pumps, ATO pumps, dosing gear).

   • For AC devices (heaters, chillers, lighting, etc.), it can integrate with the ReefControl Power module to switch those on or off based on sensor readings.

4. Data Logging, Alerts, and Automation

   • Continuous logging of all sensor data (pH, salinity, leaks, etc.) so you can track trends and stability.

   • You can define “safe ranges” for each parameter and receive alerts (via the ReefBeat app) when values go outside those thresholds.

   • You can create automation “rules”: for example, if salinity drops, power an ATO pump; or if leak is detected, shut off certain equipment.

5. Integration with ReefBeat App

   • Connects via Wi-Fi to the ReefBeat app (iOS/Android) for remote monitoring and control.

   • Through the app, you can:

     • View real-time readings

     • See historical data (e.g., over the past 28 days)

     • Set and adjust automation rules and alarm thresholds

     • Receive notifications if something goes wrong (e.g., leak, parameter out of range)

6. Expandable / Modular Design

   • Works with the ReefControl ATO module, so you can build a fully automated top-off system.

   • Compatible with the ReefControl Power unit to extend control to more (or non-Red Sea) devices.

   • Because you can add up to 7 sensors, you can scale up as your aquarium system becomes more complex.

7. Calibration Persistence

   • Calibration data for probes is stored in the probe itself. This means you can remove a probe (for cleaning or calibration) and reattach it later without losing its calibration.

8. Local Manual Control

   • In Deluxe setups, when used with ReefControl Power (Deluxe version), there are backlit on/off switches for each power socket, which is handy for manual override or maintenance.
