3. Safety advices
•
The lighting system cannot be used as aquarium cover. It has to be mounted only above the
aquarium. The minimum distance between lighting and aquarium must be at least 30 cm.
•
The lighting system may not be operated without the protection glasses. The non-filtered UV
light may damage the aquarium inhabitants and also people.
•
The housing and protection glasses may become hot during operation. Be cautious when
touching them!
•
Before replacing any bulbs, disconnect the lighting system from the main connection and let it
cool down. Afterwards, take the lighting down.
•
When cleaning, take care that no humidity passes the ventilation slits and enters the interior of
the lighting system!
•
Pay attention to a sufficient thermal exchange. Keep the ventilation slits always free! Do not
mount the system in enclosures or behind panels. Missing aeration may result in overheating
and damage of the electrical components, what may be the cause of noise production.
•
Do not try to repair the lighting system. Please send it in for checking, preferably with a list of
defects.
