ing to the terms of the warranty.

power cord, plug, and light fixture periodically for damage.
•

The plastic housing must be located outside of the aquarium. Do not place
the plastic housing inside of the aquarium.

following situations:
- Unplug when installing the light fixture on your aquarium.

DRIP LOOP:
This light fixture must be used near a grounded receptacle with a “drip loop” (see
figure 1). For safety, the receptacle should have a Residual Current Device or Residual Current
Circuit Breaker with Overload Protection (RCD or RCBO). The drip loop will prevent water from
running along the power cord and getting the plug or wall receptacle wet. To create a drip loop,
be sure that a portion of the power cord is lower than the level of the wall receptacle as shown
in figure 1. If you are unsure about the electrical supply and connection, contact a qualified
licensed electrician. If for any reason the plug or wall receptacle gets wet, do not grasp or
unplug the power cord until after the power has been switched off at the main fuse or circuit
breaker.
INSTALLATION ON ZOO MED’S DESIGNER NANO
HOUSE & NANO CONDO AQUARIUMS:

BETTA LIGHT™
fixture until after completing the following steps.
1. Loosen the two plastic screws on the housing, taking care not to completely remove
them.

INSTALLATION ON FISH BOWLS

CAUTION:
Do not plug in the Betta Light fixture until after completing the following steps.
CAUTION:
If using adhesive, failure of the adhesive can allow the fixture to fall into the water of
the aquarium.
DO NOT
place your hands in an aquarium if the light fixture falls in the water.
1. If possible, use the hook located on the plastic housing as described above for the Zoo
Med Nano House and Nano Condo Aquariums.
2. If the hook cannot be used, secure the plastic housing to the outside back wall of the
fish bowl or aquarium using an appropriate adhesive or hook and loop fastener like Vel-
cro
®

in order to prevent the fixture from falling into the water. Velcro
®
is recommended as it
will allow for removal of the fixture during aquarium maintenance.

Failure of
the adhesive can allow the fixture to fall into the water of the aquarium.
