Application

The appliance and all parts included in the scope of delivery are intended for private use and must only be used:‧

for aquarium lighting
in compliance with the technical data

Safety

Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is improperly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded.

For your safety

Do not let the appliance packaging and small parts get into the hands of children or people who are unaware of how to handle them, as hazards can arise (danger of suffocation!). Keep away from animals.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under the supervision of someone responsible for their safety or have received instruction on usage of the appliance from said person. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Only for European markets: This appliance can be used by children from the age of 3 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised and have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.
Before use, carry out a visual inspection to ensure that the appliance, especially the mains cable and plug, are undamaged.
Do not look directly into the light source for a prolonged period; this may result in eye damage.
The appliance must not be opened. A defective appliance must be scrapped.
Only carry out the work described in these instructions.
Never make technical modifications to the appliance.
Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance.
We recommend protecting all electrical aquarium appliances via a residual current protective device with a rated residual current of 30 mA maximum.
In the event of water leakage or when the residual current protection device is triggered, immediately disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply.
If they are not being used, always disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply before you install/remove any parts and before all cleaning and maintenance work.
Protect the mains socket and mains plug against moisture and wetness. A drip loop must be formed with the mains cable.
This prevents any water from running along the cable to the mains socket, which would result in a short circuit.
The electrical data of the appliance must match the data of the power mains. This data is found on the type plate, the packaging, and in these instructions.
The distance from the underside of the light to the highest watermark must be a minimum of 15 mm.

Commissioning

Installation (⌦A)

The LED lights can be adjusted to the width of your aquarium with the freely adjustable extendable bracket ①
. Pull the extendable bracket out of the light housing until itreaches the desired length.

Electrical connection

Connect the plug of the LED lights to the socket of the matching EHEIM power supply unit.
The matching EHEIM power supply unit can be found on the packaging of your LED light.

Operation

Service life
In order to avoid excessive algae formation, you should not put the LED lights in continuous operation.
Optional accessories
Use with Y distributor
The Y distributor allows you to operate two LED lights from one power supply unit.
Ensure that the maximum power output of the power supply unit is not exceeded (see Technical Data, page 96)

Use with T5/T8 adapter
With the T5/T8 adapter, you can replace traditional fluorescent bulbs with an LED light. To do so, proceed as follows:

Push both adapter parts together ② /③ until they click onto the extendable bracket ① (⌦C).
DANGER! Electric shock!
▶ Before all assembly work, remove the mains plug of the lighting unit and or cover.
