IMPORTANT WARNING | DRIP LOOPS

Mount your power supply where it won’t get wet. Include a “drip loop”. Drip loops should always be used to help prevent water from travelling along the cord and coming into contact with an electrical outlet. Drip loops must always be below the level of the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet,
DO NOT TOUCH the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the system. After disconnecting the power, unplug and examine for the presence of water.

QUICK INSTALLATION

•  Slide the adjustable docking legs on the side of the fixture to match the length of your aquarium.

• Locate the two male plugs on the wired controller and connect them to their coordinated female counterparts on the fixture.

• Connect the female DC plug on the controller to the male DC plug from the transformer/power supply.

• Plug the transformer into a G.F.C.I protected AC outlet. Be sure to incorporate a”drip loop” as described and illustrated in fig. 1.

Example for the 8H cycle. When the 8H timer mode s selected, the light will be on 8 hours per day. When you enable the 8H timer mode, sunrise begins at 5% brightness and slowly increase to your set brightness. Sunset begins when 8 hours is over.

NOTE:

• You need to reset the timer if there is a power outage while in timer mode.
• In timer mode, at scheduled on time, the light will slowly ramp up from 0% to 100% in 15 minutes simulating a gradual sunrise. At the off time, the LED will slowly dim down from 100% to 0% brightness in 15 minutes simulating a sunset.
• In timer mode, the brightness can be adjusted when the light is on. The adjustment will be applied in timer mode. For example, when it is in daylight mode, you can adjust the white channel brightness to 60% and blue channel brightness to 20%, the timer will ramp up to this setting in the next day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why the light return to manual on or off status when the light was in timer

mode during a power outage?

After a power outage, the time will need to be set. If the power is back up again, the light will return to the previous status before the timer mode is enabled Therefore, turning off the light is recommended before choosing the timer mode.

2. Why it takes less 15 minutes to ramp up/dim down?

It takes 15 minutes to ramp up from 0% to 100% (or dim down from 100% to 0%). If the set intensity is not 100%, the ramp up/dim down time will be proportionally shorter. For example, if the light ramp up to 60% intensity, the ramp time wil be 9 minutes.

3. Why is my LED light not as bright as it should be when using it?

Check the intensity setting of each channel. Ensure the light intensity is set to 100%.

4. s the Classic LED G2 compatible with timers?

The G2 is compatible with our Dual Channel Timer (sold separately) which is designed for LED lights with two plugs.

5. How long should I keep the lights on?

The typical photo period for a freshwater aquarium is to run the daylight spectrum for 8- 12 hours per day, an 8-hour day is most typical NOTE: Extended photo periods of 12+ hours can cause algae growth. We recommend an 8- 10 hour daylight lighting period.
