ReefControl Power 6 control panel for easy equipment control
The RED SEA R35819 complements the ReefControl Power 6 system by adding a physical control interface close to the aquarium. Its role is simple: to quickly turn each device connected to the Power 6 box on or off, without needing to take out a smartphone or navigate through an app.
This local control is particularly convenient during routine aquarium operations. During feeding, water changes, or skimmer maintenance, it becomes possible to temporarily deactivate a device with a simple press , and then reactivate it immediately after the intervention.
The panel therefore provides direct access to the equipment while retaining the intelligent operation of the ReefControl Power 6 and the settings made in the ReefBeat environment.
Six backlit switches for immediate visual indication of socket status
Each output of the ReefControl Power 6 has its own control on the R35819 panel. The switches, equipped with LED backlighting, allow you to see at a glance whether the corresponding equipment is active or deactivated.
This immediate visualization is particularly useful in a technical cabinet where several devices are plugged in simultaneously. No more tracing cables or checking each device individually to see which outlet is powered.
The panel can thus become the daily control point for the aquarium's electrical installation , with a quick and clear reading of the status of connected equipment.
A local control that complements the ReefBeat app
The R35819 control panel does not replace the system's connected functions. On the contrary, it complements them by offering immediate physical control in parallel with ReefBeat .
The programs, automations, and routines configured in the ReefControl system remain available. This allows the aquarist to benefit from the convenience of connected management while retaining the ability to intervene quickly on-site when manual intervention is more practical.
This combination is particularly useful for equipment that is frequently switched off during maintenance, such as skimmers, pumps, heaters, or certain filtration accessories .
Convenient control during aquarium maintenance
The main advantage of the ReefControl Power 6 panel often becomes apparent during maintenance operations. When it's necessary to work on the sump, clean a pump, or perform a water change, it's convenient to be able to instantly switch off several pieces of equipment from the aquarium cabinet .
The control panel eliminates the need to physically unplug devices or search for each outlet in a sometimes densely cabled installation. All controls remain grouped in one place, significantly simplifying daily operations.
Its positioning near the aquarium also allows for quick intervention when hands are wet. However, as with any electrical installation around an aquarium, it remains essential to observe the usual precautions related to water and electricity .
RED SEA R35819 panel compatibility with ReefControl Power 6
The R35819 control panel is specifically designed to work with the RED SEA ReefControl Power 6. It is not a universal controller and cannot be used on its own to directly control electrical devices.
It must be connected to the compatible ReefControl Power 6 main unit. The panel then serves as the physical interface, while the main module manages the power supply to the various outlets.
This product is therefore particularly suitable for users who already own a standard version of ReefControl Power 6 and wish to add a local control to it, or to replace an existing panel that has become defective.
Note: The R35819 is only the control panel.
The RED SEA R35819 reference does not correspond to the complete ReefControl Power 6 system . The product includes only the control panel intended for connection to an existing compatible installation.
The main power supply, electrical outlets, and other system accessories are therefore not included. This distinction is important when ordering: the R35819 panel cannot operate independently .
It can be chosen as a replacement part when an already installed panel has failed or as an additional accessory to complete a compatible ReefControl Power 6 setup.
ReefControl Power 6 Control Panel Installation
The R35819 installation was designed to be simple. The panel connects directly to the ReefControl Power 6 main unit using the provided connection.
It can then be positioned in an easily accessible area, ideally near the aquarium's technical cabinet. This placement allows the six controls to be located where they are truly needed, particularly during cleaning and maintenance operations.
Once connected, the panel works in addition to the existing installation and allows manual control of the Power 6 outputs while retaining their management via ReefBeat .
A panel suitable for pumps, skimmers, heaters and other equipment
The ReefControl Power 6 is typically used to centralize the power supply for several essential pieces of equipment for the operation of a reef aquarium. The R35819 control panel significantly simplifies its daily operation.
Depending on the setup, the various outlets can be connected to a return pump, a skimmer, a heater, a filtration system, a pump, or other compatible devices . Each outlet then has its own dedicated control on the panel.
This organization allows for quick identification of the corresponding device and operation without directly manipulating the electrical cables inside the furniture.
Standard version or ReefControl Power 6 Deluxe
The control panel is particularly interesting for owners of a standard ReefControl Power 6 who wish to regain the local control functions available on a more complete configuration.
The panel is supplied with certain versions equipped with the Power 6 system, notably the Deluxe configuration, while it can be purchased separately under part number R35819 to supplement or repair an existing installation.
Before ordering, it is therefore advisable to check the configuration already installed in order to determine if the panel is already present or if the reference R35819 is required in addition.
