Honoured customer, thank you very much for your confidence in Giesemann quality products. Our experiences in the area of the Aquatics as well as modern illumination technology guarantees the quality standard of our products. Please read this manual in its entirety in order to guarantee
optimal function and operational reliability of your product over many years. Failure to observe the following points may prove dangerous or can violate existing guidelines.
All Giesemann fixtures are equipped with the CE sign. You find this sign on the type sign in the fixture or on any external power supply box.
After unpacking, please check to ensure the condition of your lamp and that all components are present. Damage must be reported immediately to your specialist supplier in order to make a valid claim. The lamps may be installed only by authorized specialist staff. These lamps may not be operated
if any damage is visible, If false function appears, after submersion into water, or any other deficiency that may effect safe operation.
The lamps never may be operated without the corresponding protection glasses; broken splashshields are to be replaced immediately in order to guarantee sufficient water protection.
The described fixture is designed exclusively for the illumination and addition of illumination of indoor aquariums only. The illumination is to be installed securely with a minimum distance of 25 cm (1 O”) to the water surface above the aquarium and should never be operated under water. They
should never be placed unsecured on the aquarium edge or have ventilation inhibited by way of surrounding equipment, panel work or covers. The fixtures and the electrical components should be protected unconditionally against direct water ingression.
Use the fixture with extreme caution if children or other people are present who do not understand the dangers of close proximity. Packaging materials may not be used for playing and should be disposed of securely: DANGER: risk of asphyxiation.
Never look directly into the light source. Bright light can lead to eye injuries!
Maintenance work on the light unit should only be carried out after removing applicable covers and ensuring the light is disconnected from the power supply at the wall. For safety reasons it is recommended that any work carried out in the aquarium, should only take place when the illumination is
removed from the aquarium.
Do not attempt to open any LED light module, or power supply, as this will cause damage to the inner seal and will void the warranty.
The housing and protective glasses may become very hot during use: Avoid touching them!! When cleaning, it is particularly important to ensure that no moisture gets into the air vents inside or on top of the lights. Never cover the ventilation grilles with any item, and make sure that there can be sufficient heat exchange. DO NOT look directly at LEDs regardless of intensity!!
Improper use will invalidate any warranty claim. The transport and storage of the product must only be done using the original packaging.
The fixture is made of aluminium which is protected from seawater corrosion by a high quality powder coating. To keep the body clean and the light areas clear, clean regularly with a slightly damp cloth. Please note that salt deposits always should be removed immediately, otherwise even quality surfaces may become damaged over time. Failure to maintain effectively may lead to the loss of warranty.
Disposal: Once this appliance has expired, make the retired lights unusable by removing the plug from the socket and cut the cable. Dispose of the lamp in accordance with applicable environmental regulations in your country. Electrical waste may not be disposed of with household waste. Contact us for advice on recycling with your local authorities or dealer.

WARNING: Before using your fixture over an aquarium that may already contain sensitive fish/plants/corals or other animals that have become accustomed to an alternate light source.
Please remember that your LED light is capable of delivering very high levels of light intensity within the frequency ranges that are of greatest importance to the animals. It is often impossible to judge spectral intensity by visual reference alone when comparing different lighting methods, so it is advised that a setting of no more than 50% intensity be used on any channel for the first few weeks, or until you have had time to see how the animals are adapting to the chosen spectrum and intensities that you have set. Additionally lighting durations may be reduced temporarily to reduce the chances of stress or shock.

Installation

To assemble your VERVVE there are different mounting options (not included) which are available from your Giesemann dealer.

Installation of the VERWE by wire suspension kit:
Attach the two wires on the top of your fixture by screwing the screws into the nuts on the top rail. Check the tightness of the cable holder. Install the ceiling mounting with suitable screws and wall plugs, making sure that the brickwork/ceiling on site can offer sufficient support. If necessary, special fastening systems, such as Hollow wall anchors, screws, etc may be necessary. If uncertain, please consult with a specialist company. Now run the steel cord through the bore of screw. Screw into the ceiling mount Insert the loose end of the steel cable into the top opening of the cable holder hole and push through until the end exits through the side hole. Since your light is equipped with continuously variable height adjustment, it can be raised or lowered easily by applying pressure to the nozzle of the spring lock mechanism. For safety reasons, always support the lamp when it is being adjusted. When the light unit is gently lowered again with the nozzle released the cable will automatically lock in place. Always aim to set your light unit level with the aquarium.

*Installation of the VERWE with aquarium mounting arm:**
Install the mounting plate on top of your VERWE by using the nuts in the top rail of your fixture. Fix the mounting plate on the mounting arm.
Install the mounting arm on the glass of your aquarium. Tighten the retaining screws to secure the mount to the aquarium.

PSU (power supply unit)

Each VERVvE is equipped with one power supply (PSU) with electronic controls that deliver a constant output. The input voltage is either 95- 130 Volt or 220-245 Volt 50/60 Hz.
