Operating Instructions

Built-in Controller
The RSX can be controlled directly with the built-in controller. The built-in controller integratedin the RSX features an OLED monitor and a control dial, from which user can setup all thefunctions for the fixture.

Standard or Master/Slave Mode
Supporse there are 2 or more units of RSX fixtures, user can connect them together through the Master/Slave mode to control them simultanousely – all Slave fixtures will follow the settings programmed on the Master fixture, saving time and effort on setting up multiple fixtures.
Control with iOS or Android Devices (Optional)
The RSX can also be wirelessly connected to an ICV6 controller (sold separately), which allows the fixtures to be controlled by iOS or Android devices through the Syna-G System.

Basic Operations
Follow the instructions below to operate and program the RSX LED fixture.
The RSX turns on automatically when power is connected, and turns off when power is cut.
When power is resumed, the RSX will restore to the previous saved setting automatically, whether it was last set at Manual or Automatic Mode, and the intensity level of all  the LED channels.
The fan on the RSX fixture is temperature controlled.
The RSX has a built-in temperature control system. The fan will be automatically engaged when the temperature is above 55°C/131°F, and disengage when it is below 45°C/113°F.If the fan fails, the system may overheat and the system will enter fail-safe mode when the temperature is above 80°C/176°F, turning off all channels. The system will exit fail-safe mode and resume normal operation when the temperature drops below 70°C/158°F.
Switching between Auto and Manual Mode
The RSX has two modes of operations: Auto and Manual Mode. User can switch between the two modes with the control dial on the fixture. Press and hold the control dial for 3 seconds to switch to another mode.

Manual Mode

• Press the control dial to enter the setting.
• Press the control dial again to switch between the channels.
• Rotate the control dial to set the brightness for each LED channel.
• Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Automatic Mode

• Press the control dial to enter the setting.
• Rotate the control dial to switch between the settings.
• Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Within Automatic Mode, there are 3 settings for user to select:
System Clock: A clock set to be matched with users’ local time.
Program: Program the photoperiod to set specific brightness for each LED channel during different time of the day.
Preset: 4 preset settings are available for user to choose from. (Refer to p.16)
P1: SPS dominated tank.
P2: SPS/LPS mixed tank.
P3: Soft Coral/LPS mixed tank.
P4: SPS dominated tank with a different dawn/dusk time with moon light.
Setting the clock

• Press the control dial to enter the setting page and then select “System Clock”.

• Press the control dial to switch between hour and minute.

• Rotate the control dial to set the time.

• Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Understanding Time Points
There are a total of 24 Time Points. You can program different luminous output intensity at each Time Point to control the photoperiod and brightness of the system.
Take Preset P1 as an example, it is a setting for SPS dominated tank. The photoperiod starts at 08:00 where the system increases light gradually, peaks at 10:00 and lasts 10hrs to 20:00 before the system gradually decreases light until it is turned off at 22:00, with moon light turns on.

| TP01| TP01| TP01| TP05| TP06| TP07|  TP08
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
| 8:00| 9:00| 20:00| 20:30| 21:00| 21:30| 22:00
Channel A| 0%| 40%| 90%| 70%| 50%| 25%|  0%
Channel B| 0%| 20%| 70%| 30%| 15%| 10%| 0%
Channel C| 1%| 20%| 70%| 30%| 15%| 10%| 1%
Channel D| 0%| 20%| 90%| 30%| 15%| 10%|  0%
