Safety Instructions

DO NOT use a power adapter that is out of the specifications. This is a fire hazard and may lead to unit failure.
DO NOT use outdoors. This unit is intended for indoor use only.
DO NOT expose unit to an extremely humid environment or submerse unit in water. This may lead to unit failure.
DO NOT place working illuminator in close contact with any objects. This may cause objects to heat up and the unit to overheat.
KEEP Lens (I) away from sharp objects. Sharp objects may break the lens and lead to unit failure.
DO NOT cover or place objects on the power adapter. Power adapter should not be contained in an airtight space.

Getting Started

Step 1 Power

Connect the A360X to the power adapter and plug it into a wall outlet. Turn the Intensity Tuning Knob (B) to the right to turn on the light.

Step 2 Control

Turn the Intensity Tuning Knob (B) to adjust the brightness of the fixture.
Turn the Color Tuning Knob (F) to adjust the light to the desired color. GROW mode is ideal for macroalgae growth. The DAYLIGHT mode allows you to easily observe your refugium without disturbing the growth cycle of the algae.
A360X Refugium can be connected and controlled through Kassel Spectral Controller X with a Type-C USB Cable (K-Link Cable), or through the Wi-Fi Dongle.

Step 3 Controlling Multiple A360X

Connect two or more lights with K-Link Cables as shown in the image.
Multiple A360X lights (Tuna Blue, Tuna Sun, and Refugium) can be controlled together by either manually, an external controller, or the Wi-Fi Dongle.
When controlling without an external controller or WIFI Dongle, tuning controls on any light control all other lights in chain.

Step 4 Mounting

Screw the Hanging Ring (D) into the center screw hole.
Hang the light with the two Screw Hooks (C) and the two Hanging Brackets (E).
To install the Hanging Brackets (E), remove the screws on the A360X, use the same screws to secure the fasteners with triangular rings onto the light fixture.

Step 5 Narrow Reflector

The complementary Narrow Reflector narrows the beam of the light to avoid over-spilling. It also further increases the light intensity to encourage faster algae growth.

Maintenance

Keep the air intake holes, Venting Holes (H), and fan clear of dust. To clean the fan, unplug the unit and insert the tip of a CO2 dust blower (or similar dust blower) in one of the Venting Holes (H) on the unit’s outer shell. Hold and spray. You can also gently vacuum out the light through the venting holes.
Keep the Lens (I) clean. If the lens becomes contaminated with water, dust, or other particles, unplug the unit and clean the lens with isopropyl alcohol. Wet a cotton swab or a napkin in isopropyl alcohol, gently wipe the surface of the lens, and let it dry.
Keep plastic covers for K-Link ports plugged in when the ports are not in use. Keep the ports clean all the time.
