Did you make a DIY connector for your SDC 3.0 pump?

I run my two SDC 7.0's at 62% and they are constant. No speed changes. I am of the same mindset that generating a Sicce Key would not cause the Kraken and the pumps to behave they way they do, but if the new pumps behave the same way as the old once changed out, generating the Sicce Key will be...

I set this project aside because Sicce sent me two new pumps. I explained the behavior of the pumps under the Kraken power and explained that a tiny flicker with utility power causes the pumps to not want to restart correctly. They confirmed this is a known issue with some of the early models of...

Hello, So just now I decided to remove the jumper from p1 to p2 & plug in the pump. It just would do an endless loop of start, stop. I took a bunch of screenshots so you all can see the numbers. Please let me know if you see anything amiss or something that maybe the Kraken cannot handle at...

Hi John, I wired it that way because the pinout of the Kraken is that way. Kraken wants 3/4 hot & 1/2 ground. Do you suggest something else? I am all ears. One thing, I opened a trouble ticket with Sicce, explained the behavior of the pumps & they said this type of behavior is a known issue in...

Yes I see that. Didn't think to check that 🤦 They are on bricks now. I plan to hook them up again to Kraken on Friday & I have a volt meter coming from Amazon to test my connections on the DIY cable. That arrives Friday. I'll be home all day Friday & all weekend. I need to be here when I hook...

If the pumps were just drawing too many amps at startup, would this cause the Kraken to shut power to those devices, then after the amp draw lowers, supply power again? Would the light turn from Green to Blue during such an event? Or would it stay Green the whole time? I think these pumps are...

No, the Kraken was on the whole time. I also noticed that the Green light was lit the entire time above the plug that these pumps are plugged into, while it was doing the start/stop/start/stop, and did NOT turn Blue at any point, as they do when I turn off the pump manually with the app. This is...

First off, thanks for taking the time to help me. None of the modes are unchecked - see Pic. There was no power notification alert. Theaonly notification was an email alert from a water level sensor in the sump that the water level was too high.

Is this what you are looking for?

Ah yes! I found it under LOGS! Duh! 😂 So it appears that both of my pumps turned off at some point and every 9 seconds they tried to restart but the log says that it turns off again. Is that Kraken turning these pumps on and off like that? Or is it the pump itself doing it?

OK, bad news. I would not use this mod. Something is wrong. I had an alert my sump level was too high & I came down to see the single pump connected to Kraken was off & doing the endless loop of trying to start up, shut down, try to start, shut down, over & over in an endless loop. The one on...

I woke this morning to Hydros notifications on my phone that my sump level is high. I go down to the tank, both Sicce pumps are off. They were actually cycling on/off, on/off, on/off. Kraken was killing power to them when they tried to start up. It is weird, it ran both pumps with no issues...

It seems a couple people are confused so I thought I'd post this picture above. Basically, the wires coming out of the Sicce controller connector are exactly backwards from the Kraken pinout. You cannot just go pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and so on. You have to wire your connector as shown in...

Ok, here is the how-to guide to making a DIY cable so the Sicce SDC 7.0 pump can be powered with Kraken. First, you'll need to buy these: Amazon.com You'll only need the Female side. These are quality connectors with quality wire. Maybe you can find someone that sells only the Female? I...

I got some very settling news from Hydros regarding the Kraken high (orange) pc board temp. I emailed Michael S with Hydros support asking if this is a dangerous situation running long term with the higher pc board temp and his reply was: It is not Dangerous . The PC board temp can go up to 190...

I will add when the temps were Orange & in the 145+ degree range, I put my hands all over the Kraken Meanwell power supply & the Kraken itself. The power supply was cool to the touch. My Kraken is mounted right next to a Launch. The Kraken was slightly warm. The Launch was completely cool but I...

Gotcha! I just see those Orange numbers & think something isn't right. I plugged one pump back to a brick last night and watched the temp come down. As soon as it hit 129.9 degrees, they turned green, so apparently Kraken & Hydros must think anything over 130 degrees is high & out of normal...

Will two Sicce SDC 7.0's draw max load from Kraken? When these pumps start up after a factory reset they start at 100% power, I believe. When both pumps are over 75%, Kraken shuts one down. I do have a Reef Octo 250 INT skimmer with a Varios 4-S drawing power from Kraken as well as two Ecotech...

I have completed a mod to get two Sicce SDC 7.0 return pumps powere by Kraken. I was successful doing one and no issues. No high pc board temp. I ran it for several hours, no problems, then hooked up a second pump to the second mod wire that I made the exact same way. Within 10 minutes of the...
