- AC Adapter
- Controller
4. Setup
4.1. Placement
Position the cross flow pump horizontally in your aquarium, ensuring it is fully submerged. The crossflow design allows for flexible placement to achieve optimal water movement without creating dead spots. Avoid placing it directly against the glass where it might vibrate excessively.

4.2. Mounting
The pump typically attaches to the aquarium glass using strong magnets. Place the pump inside the tank and align the external magnet on the outside of the glass. Ensure a secure grip before powering on the device.
4.3. Power Connection
- Connect the pump's cable to the controller.
- Connect the AC adapter to the controller.
- Plug the AC adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
Ensure all connections are secure and dry before plugging into the power source.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Controller Overview
Image 5.1: Jebao SCP-90M WiFi Sine Driver Controller with various buttons and indicators.
The controller allows for manual adjustment of pump speed and operating modes. Refer to the image above for button and indicator locations.
5.2. Operating Modes
The SCP-90M offers several operating modes to simulate different water movements:
- Mode H (Normal Flow Rate): Provides a constant, normal flow rate at the set speed output.
- Mode W1 (Wave Box Function): Creates a pulse mode, ideal for generating wave box functions.
- Mode W2 (Normal Mode with Clockwise Flow): Operates in normal mode with a clockwise flow direction, adjustable from 4 to 99 minutes.
- Mode W3 (Normal Mode with Reef Mode): Operates in normal mode with a reef mode, including a 10-minute feed mode.
- Feed Mode: A temporary mode (e.g., 10 minutes) that reduces or stops flow to allow for feeding without food being immediately swept away.
5.3. Speed Adjustment
Use the 'POWER' knob on the controller to adjust the pump's speed. Turning it towards 'Fast' increases the flow, while turning it towards 'Slow' decreases it. The controller typically offers 8 increments of speed adjustment.
5.4. WiFi Control
The SCP-90M can be controlled via a dedicated app on iOS and Android devices. Follow the instructions provided with the app for pairing and advanced control options, which may include finer speed tuning (0-100%) and custom programming.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Jebao SCP-90M pump.
6.1. Cleaning
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump and controller from the power source before cleaning.
- Remove from Tank: Carefully remove the pump from the aquarium.
- Disassemble: Disassemble the pump components according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., remove the impeller and housing).
- Soak and Clean: Prepare a solution of warm water and citric acid (or a suitable aquarium pump cleaner). Soak the pump components for 3-4 hours or as needed to loosen mineral deposits and algae. Use a soft brush to gently clean all parts.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse all components with clean water to remove any cleaning solution residue.
- Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned.
- Reinstall: Place the pump back into the aquarium and reconnect power.
It is recommended to clean the pump every 4-6 months, or more frequently depending on your aquarium's conditions.
6.2. Regular Checks
- Periodically check the power cord and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure the pump is securely mounted and fully submerged.
- Monitor pump performance for any unusual noises or reduced flow.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Jebao SCP-90M, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not starting or stopping intermittently. | Power interruption, debris in impeller, motor malfunction. | Check power connections. Disconnect power, clean the pump thoroughly (refer to Maintenance section). If issue persists, contact support. |
| "Equipment Error: Pump body Wall" message. | Internal obstruction, sensor issue, motor fault. | Disconnect power, remove pump, and perform a thorough cleaning. Ensure no debris is blocking the impeller or internal components. If the error persists after cleaning and reassembly, the unit may require professional service. |
| Reduced flow rate. | Clogged impeller, mineral buildup, incorrect speed setting. | Clean the pump. Adjust the speed setting on the controller or via the app. |
| WiFi connection issues. | Incorrect app settings, router interference, out of range. | Refer to the app's troubleshooting guide. Ensure the controller is within range of your WiFi router. Restart the controller and your mobile device. |
If you cannot resolve the issue using the above steps, please contact Jebao customer support.
