how do you attach to the power head???

Regards, This is NOT connected to the electric power. DO NOT use electrical energy. This is coupled directly to the head of the broken power and effect of waves doing (soft) in the aquarium.

It's supposed to fit directly onto the output. Mine seemed to fit ok, but would fall off after a minute or two of rotating. I haven't tried to use it since. I have a 29 gal Biocube.

Real simple, slip it over the inlet tube and possibly wrap a little Teflon tape around it if it slips off. The biggest issue with these is to keep them very clean. If they are used in a marine tank much can grow on these and will stop turning due to marine growth inside the unit. Get a good cleaning powder from the same company I believe and soak the unit ever so often for best performance.

Basically you just tie in the power cables to the tightening nut connected to the battery terminal (positive and negative). That would be the simplest way and less hardware needed.

There is a hole on the back of the unit, close to the bottom. Push one end of the power cord into it, and the other end with the plug, goes into the outlet.

Twist the head down like you are screwing it on. Also make sure the batteries are installed correctly.

Its been a while since I installed this, but if your computer has a 4 prong plug, it should connect to the power connector just fine. I had a little trouble getting it in the connector case slot to get the case closed, but it finally went. Watch the You Tube video on power connector repair for this model, although he removes the connector from the board a little quick to see, it is not hard to replace. Just make sure to look at the orientation of the pins and polarization fins when you take the old one off. I saved my student $60 with the repair!

I can't find the connection either. Checked the schematic and I did not see any socket. So I have an adapter collecting dust!

I need a replacement power cord as well as unfortunately in my case, it was misplaced during a move and now it is just a chair. If anyone can provide a picture of the power cord, which type of head and what WATT it takes would help me get a replacement :) Thanks!

There is a piece (lever) on the back side of the fans base. Push down to allow the head to move up or down. It takes some force to actually move it, but this this is how it works on mine.

Mines came attached, not sure how to attach it. It should have come already attached, you may need to return it.

A small phillips head screwdriver. If that doesnt work you may have a stripped screw.

The fan should be mounted to a well supported box. I see no reasons you could not run a power cord into the box.

The power cord is in the back/on the base of the upper fan part (behind the button power controls). This is a fabulous product. In hard water, you may need to periodically gently unscrew the spray nozzles and "blow" out the deposits

Actually the top snaps off and on to give you access to the power switch. Pop it off, press the power button, then snap it back on. Be aware that you need to buy one with a long-enough power lead so as to be able to plug it into the wall directly. If you plug the PowerMyd into an extension cord, you void the warranty coverage for attached devices. Even with that, I do like the device overall. Looks good and works well.

Go to the DiMax website & it will show you how to connect it. You will need 2 cables & you should have a power supply that plugs into the unit. The power supply should have come with the unit.

i think this might help, same issue for me (http://blog.pennybuying.com/down/f/F815A.pdf). Now my issue is finding the 4 wire headers that I can connect from the PIC to the controller board, if you know where i can find those, please return favor. thanks

I think the shipper gives you the choice of a "pig tail" cord or other. We have an older system that has the hose outlet and then the plug beside it so I got the pig tail electrical cord that gives some slack to plug into the wall outlet. I also still have my old power head that I keep downstairs and it hooks up just fine to that it also has the two prong.

I used the enclosed power cube with wires and spliced the wires to a three-prong power cord. Match the colors on the wires of the power cube to the colors of the wires in the power cord. You can buy a power cord or just cut the end off of an existing one. The splice won't fit in the power cover supplied so it can't be used for this purpose. It's ugly but functional.
