  • The DC Submersible Aquarium Pump 6V-12V 5W 500L/H is a compact, high-performance pump designed for aquarium use. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pump's pinout, ensuring proper connection and operation.
  • Pinout Description:
  • The pump has a total of 2 pins, which are:
  • Pin 1: Positive (+) Terminal
  • Function: Positive power supply input
  • Voltage Range: 6V to 12V DC
  • Description: This pin connects to the positive terminal of the power supply. The pump requires a stable DC power source within the specified voltage range to operate efficiently.
  • Pin 2: Negative (-) Terminal
  • Function: Negative power supply input
  • Voltage Range: 0V (Ground)
  • Description: This pin connects to the negative terminal of the power supply, providing a return path for the current. Ensure a secure connection to prevent voltage drops and ensure reliable operation.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the pins correctly, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Prepare the Power Supply
  • Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to Pin 1 (Positive (+) Terminal) on the pump.
  • Connect the negative terminal of the power supply to Pin 2 (Negative (-) Terminal) on the pump.
  • Step 2: Verify the Connection
  • Double-check the connections to ensure:
  • + Pin 1 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply.
  • + Pin 2 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
  • Important Notes:
  • Ensure the power supply voltage is within the recommended range of 6V to 12V DC to prevent damage to the pump.
  • Avoid reversing the polarity of the power supply connections, as this can cause permanent damage to the pump.
  • Keep the pump's electrical connections clean and dry to prevent corrosion or electrical shock hazards.
  • By following these guidelines, you can ensure safe and reliable operation of the DC Submersible Aquarium Pump 6V-12V 5W 500L/H.

Example Code 1: Basic Pump Control with Arduino
In this example, we'll use an Arduino board to control the pump's speed by adjusting the voltage applied to it.
```c
const int pumpPin = 9;  // Digital pin 9 to control the pump
void setup() {
  pinMode(pumpPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Set the pump speed to 50% (6V)
  analogWrite(pumpPin, 128); // 0-255 corresponds to 0-12V
  delay(1000);
  
  // Set the pump speed to 100% (12V)
  analogWrite(pumpPin, 255);
  delay(1000);
}
```
Example Code 2: Automatic Water Level Control with Raspberry Pi
In this example, we'll use a Raspberry Pi to control the pump based on the water level in the aquarium.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO pin for pump control
pump_pin = 17
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(pump_pin, GPIO.OUT)
# Function to control the pump based on water level
def control_pump(water_level):
  if water_level < 50:  # If water level is low, turn on the pump
    GPIO.output(pump_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
  else:
    GPIO.output(pump_pin, GPIO.LOW)
# Read water level from a sensor (e.g., ultrasonic sensor)
water_level = read_water_level()
while True:
  control_pump(water_level)
  time.sleep(1)
```
Example Code 3: Wireless Pump Control with ESP32
In this example, we'll use an ESP32 board to control the pump wirelessly using Wi-Fi.
```c
#include <WiFi.h>
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
WiFiServer server(80);
const int pumpPin = 5;  // Digital pin 5 to control the pump
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  server.begin();
pinMode(pumpPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  WiFiClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    String request = client.readStringUntil('
');
    if (request.indexOf("/pump/on") != -1) {
      digitalWrite(pumpPin, HIGH);
      client.println("Pump turned on!");
    } else if (request.indexOf("/pump/off") != -1) {
      digitalWrite(pumpPin, LOW);
      client.println("Pump turned off!");
    }
    client.stop();
  }
}
```
These examples demonstrate how to use the DC Submersible Aquarium Pump 6V-12V 5W 500L/H in various contexts, including basic pump control, automatic water level control, and wireless pump control.
