FAQ

Questions about oscillators for circulation pumps

What alternatives exist at TUNZE ORCA MK2?

Several systems allow to automate the orientation of a circulation pump. CP-SWEEP BORA and NEO3PLUS NEOSCI / MOTIONXCON respond to the same general need of TUNZE ORCA MK2, with different architectures.

What is the difference between CP-SWEEP BORA and TUNZE ORCA MK2?

Both are motorized rotary units. CP-SWEEP uses a local Web interface Wi-Fi and can control some compatible Jebao/Jecod pumps; TUNZE ORCA MK2 uses Reef Assistant and can coordinate the orientation and flow of compatible TUNZE pumps.

CP-SWEEP can you control a pump Jebao or Jecod?

Yes, with Wi-Fi compatible models. Documented families include M/MW, SLW, MLW, ALW, MCP and ELW; some generations are also supported Wi-Fi + BLE.

CP-SWEEP does the Internet require?

No. The controller creates its own network Wi-Fi and its interface is available locally via browser.

What is the difference between CP-SWEEP BORA and NEO3PLUS?

CP-SWEEP uses a step-by-step motor with reducer and a local Wi-Fi controller. NEO3PLUS uses a NEOSCI servomotor commanded by MOTIONXCON.
