Thank you for purchasing an Aquatic Life
T5HO Dimmable Hybrid Fixture.
When maintained properly, this unit will provide you with years
of service. Your dimmable fixture features a 0-10 Volt input for
use with an optional controller. This will allow you to adjust the
brightness of the T5HO lamps.
In addition, the power cord uses a C14 type connector, making it
easy to switch the type of power outlet plug or extend the length
of the cord.
The HEP
®
brand ballasts work with 100-277 V, 50-60 Hz electric
and use end-of-life protection to prevent bad lamps from lighting.
We test each fixture ballast prior to shipping the fixture.
If lamps do not work in your fixture, refer to the
troubleshooting section of this guide.
WARNING:
Please read carefully before proceeding with
installation. Your failure to follow any attached instructions and
operating parameters may lead to the product’s failure.
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
B) DANGER –
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken
since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the
following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to
an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) If the appliance falls into the water,
DON’T reach for it!
First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the
appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
(Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible
equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it
is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted
receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle
or plug. A “drip loop,” shown in the figure to the
left, should be arranged by the user for each cord
connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle.
The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the
level of the receptacle, or the connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling
along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the
appliance. Then, unplug and examine for presence
of water in the receptacle.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters,
reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull the
plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
F) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause an unsafe condition.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed
before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
J) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should
be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating
may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not
be tripped over or pulled.
K) For added safety, the appliance must be plugged into a receptacle
controlled by a GFCI (ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker. The device
must be properly connected to a grounded three-prong receptacle.
L) This appliance is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
M) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
