IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSDANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1. A. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

B. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

C. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of the wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop” (fig. 1) should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to the receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water travel along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacles do get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.

4. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

5. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.

8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

10. This fixture is for use over covered aquariums only.

11. For added safety, the fixture must be plugged into a receptacle controlled by a GFI (ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker. Device must be properly connected to a grounded three-prong receptacle. (fig. 2)

1. Place the fixture on a non-abrasive flat surface.

2. Remove suspension bracket cover (on end of fixture nearest the controller) by removing (2) screws, using a crosshead screwdriver.

3. Continue installation, following the Suspension Hardware instructions included.

Installing the Power Supplies

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:WARNING: Do not turn power on to light fixture until all power supply connections have been made.

If your installation requires the use of a power strip, it is strongly recommended to use a power strip with a built-in surge protector.

1. Assemble each power supply by connecting power outlet cable to power supply.

2. Connect each power supply to the Aqualight LED power ports as shown.

3. Plug power supplies into electrical outlets. (If using a power strip, plug each power supply into power strip and then plug power strip into electrical outlet.) Each LED module will illuminate when power is supplied and the LCD controller will turn on.

WARNING: Do not stack power supplies on top of one another to prevent overheating and potential failure.

Battery Back Up Feature Aqualight LED is equipped with a battery back-up feature that will automatically save user programmed set up options and clock setting in the event of power interruption or if the fixture is unplugged for maintenance. Battery does not require replacement.

Thermal Monitoring and Cooling FanEach LED module contains thermal sensors to monitor LED operating temperatures. When needed, the cooling fan will turn on to provide air circulation and active cooling. The cooling fan is variable speed and will only turn on when needed.

Automatic Shut OffIn the unlikely event the fan is not able to provide adequate cooling to the fixture, Aqualight LED is designed to automatically shut off individual LED modules should temperatures rise beyond a certain threshold. This situation is very unlikely and would occur in extreme situations where the ambient temperature is very high or where heat is trapped in the fixture. Once the module cools to an acceptable temperature it will illuminate and resume normal operation.

NOTE: For canopy installations, additional ventilation may be required to ensure proper cooling and to prevent heat from becoming trapped in fixture.

Periodic MaintenanceLens Cover: On occasion it may be necessary to clean the polycarbonate lens cover of the Aqualight LED by performing the following steps:

1. Power off light fixture by unplugging each power supply from the power outlet or power strip, then unplug each power supply from the Aqualight LED.

2. Remove light fixture from aquarium and place face up on a dry flat surface.

3. Using a cross head screwdriver remove the lens/leg retainer by removing (3) screws.

4. Slowly slide lens from light fixture making sure not to scratch the lens.

5. Using a soft non abrasive cloth, gently wipe down lens to remove any build up that may have accumulated. It may be necessary to moisten cloth with warm water to make cleaning easier.

6. Once lens has been cleaned, slowly slide lens into light fixture housing and reinstall leg/lens retainer.

Cooling Fan Foam Insert: Periodically clean the fan foam insert to remove any dust that may have collected. To do so, remove fan foam retainer and then remove foam insert. Run foam under cool water to clean and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling the foam and retainer.
