The HYDROS
Control
XP8 is
an
eight-outlet
(120V
AC)
energy
bar
and
controller
hybrid
specifically
designed
for
equipment
like
heaters
and
return
pumps,
which
are
critical
to
the
life
support
of
any
aquarium
system.
Each
individually
controlled
outlet
is
built
into
the
HYDROS
controller
for
the
highest
level
of
security.
The
Control
XP8
has
a
built-in
60W
universal
voltage
Meanwell
power
supply
with
a
14amp
max
power
capacity
and
is
designed
to
pass
ETL/UL
certification.
Besides
the
clicking
on
and
off
of
the
controlled
outlets,
the
XP8
is
completely
passively
cooled,
and
with
its
isolated
power
circuitry,
the
controller
runs
completely
silent.
Best
of
all,
each
of
the
eight
outlets
has
individual
power
monitoring
capabilities.
Besides
being
an
overbuilt
power
strip,
the
Control
XP8
is
also
a
fully
functioning
HYDROS
system
controller
capable of
taking
over intelligent
decisions
based
on
the
status
of
other
HYDROS
Devices
within
the Collective.
The
two
HYDROS
Command
Bus
ports
on
the
XP8
allow
for
a
wired
connection
to
any
other
HYDROS
controller
to
form
a
collective
of
all
Controls
in
one
for
the
ultimate
failsafe
system. Control
and
monitor
your
Control
XP8
energy
bar
from
anywhere
globally
using
the
technologically
advanced
HYDROS
cloud-based
app.
The
Control
XP8
also
can
monitor
and
control
up
to
eight
different
HYDROS
WiFi
devices.
