MAINTENANCE
Caution:
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when
using this electrical appliance near water.
Caution:
Always isolate the PSU from mains electricity before installing or
carrying out any maintenance to the AquaRay lamp unit.
Caution:
Do not attempt to open the plastic case of the PSU. This will invalidate the
2 year guarantee on the PSU.
Caution:
Do not attempt to open the plastic casing of your AquaRay lamp unit.
This will damage the waterproof sealing and invalidate the 5 year guarantee on
the lamp unit.
An AquaRay lamp unit and associated power supply unit (PSU) are sealed units
and are not customer serviceable parts. The lamp array inside the lamp unit is
also not a customer serviceable part and the whole lamp unit is to be disposed of
at the end of its life (>50,000 hours).
An AquaRay lamp unit should need little or no maintenance once set up. However
due to salt deposits and the high calcium level in marine aquariums it is common
for deposits to build up on the body of the unit.
Therefore it is recommended that:-
a. The lens face of the AquaRay lamp unit is cleaned periodically with a warm,
damp cloth.
b. The heat sink on the rear of the unit is kept free of large particles of salt
and other films or deposits which might obstruct the free movement of air
around the vanes of the heat sink. Occasional cleaning with a small brush
and/or dry, lint-free cloth is recommended.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: The AquaRay lamp unit does not switch on.
Solution: Check cable connection between lamp unit and PSU.
Solution: Check power cord is firmly connected to PSU.
Solution: Check (and replace if necessary) the fuse in the power cord plug (UK only).
If the lamp unit is still not switching on, return the PSU and lamp unit to your
local stockist for further testing and replacement if necessary.
Problem: The AquaRay lamp unit starts flashing.
Solution: Check that all LEDs are flashing. If so, the PSU may be at fault and may
need replacing. If two or more LEDs are out completely, then the lamp unit may be
at fault. Return the lamp unit to your local stockist for further inspection by Tropical
Marine Centre.
Problem: One or more lamps in the AquaRay lamp unit do not come on
or cease to work.
Solution: Return lamp unit to your local stockist for replacement with an authentic
Tropical Marine Centre part.
Problem: The lamp unit is making a high pitched buzzing sound.
Solution: If the unit is being used on a controller and this sound is only happening
when being dimmed, then this is normal. It is a very quiet sound emitted by the
circuit protection inside the unit. This should not happen when at 100% or 0%
output. If the unit is not being dimmed then please return the lamp unit to your
local stockist for further inspection by Tropical Marine Centre.
Problem: There is water in my lamp unit.
Solution: Please check if the water is actually inside the part where the electronics
are housed. The lamp unit is designed to allow water in around the outside ‘skirt’,
but if water has made its way into the electronics then disconnect the lamp unit
from the PSU and return it to your local stockist for further inspection by Tropical
Marine Centre.
Problem: The AquaRay lamp unit has been accidentally immersed.
Solution: Immediately switch off the mains supply to the PSU and remove the
lamp unit from the water while holding the unit vertically with the cable entry
end uppermost.
Disconnect the AquaRay lamp unit from the PSU via the connector located
150mm/6” from the PSU. If immersed it is normal for some water to be held
around the outside edge of the AquaRay lamp unit and this can be removed by
gently shaking the unit vertically and then drying carefully with a lint-free cloth.
When fully dry, check to see if any water or drips are visible inside the main
body of the unit when observed through the front lens cover. Holding the unit
vertically with the cable entry end uppermost will ensure that any water will
move to the opposite end of the unit, where it may be more easily observed
and will do the least damage should the unit need to be returned to Tropical
Marine Centre for repair. If you are in any doubt as to whether water has
penetrated the unit then do not reconnect to the PSU and immediately return
the unit to your local stockist for further inspection by Tropical Marine Centre.
Please Note: Accidental immersion or partial/fully submerged
installation of the lamp unit will invalidate the guarantee on the lamp
unit
