The Red Sea ReefSense USB-C cable powers a ReefSense probe remotely from the ReefControl so it can be used via Bluetooth with the ReefBeat app, ideal for measurements, cleaning, and calibration.
The Red Sea ReefSense USB-C cable is an accessory designed to enable remote use of ReefSense digital probes. It provides the power needed by the probe when it is temporarily disconnected from a ReefControl controller.
This solution makes it easy to move a ReefSense probe to take a reading somewhere other than the main aquarium, carry out maintenance, or perform calibration while still maintaining communication with the ReefBeat app via Bluetooth.
ReefSense probes can communicate directly with the ReefBeat app via Bluetooth when used away from the controller. To operate in this configuration, they must have a power supply. The Red Sea ReefSense USB-C connector meets this need precisely.
It allows the probe to be powered from a compatible USB-C source, such as a charger, power bank, or other equipment with suitable USB-C power output.
Thanks to the ReefSense USB-C cable, it becomes possible to temporarily move a probe away from the main setup. For example, you can use a compatible probe near your saltwater preparation area to take an occasional reading with ReefBeat.
This mobile use is especially useful with ReefSense probes that monitor parameters such as salinity or the pH of freshly prepared water.
The Red Sea ReefSense USB-C cable also makes maintenance easier. A probe can be removed from its usual location and powered independently near a water source to make cleaning or calibration more convenient.
Because calibration data is stored directly in compatible ReefSense probes, their temporary remote use is built into the way the ReefControl ecosystem works.
When used remotely, the ReefSense probe communicates with the Red Sea ReefBeat app via Bluetooth. The app can then display the instant reading or guide the user through certain calibration steps.
Measurements taken in this remote mode are not added to the aquarium’s usual history. The graphs and trends recorded for the main setup therefore remain consistent with measurements taken in the aquarium.

The Red Sea ReefSense USB-C cable gives ReefSense probes greater mobility. It removes the need to stay right next to the controller to perform certain tasks and allows you to take advantage of the Bluetooth connection built into compatible probes.
Compact and easy to use, this accessory is a valuable addition to a Red Sea ReefControl and ReefSense setup, especially for aquarists who want to make maintenance, calibration, and occasional measurements around their reef aquarium easier.
