For your safety
Carefully read and observe the following important safety information. In
order to avoid an electrical shock.
Position the power supply (PSU) in a suitable place to ensure
that it is not exposed to water (from condensation, high
humidity or falling into water).
We recommend to make "drip loops" in the cable from the
PULZAR to the power supply and from the power supply to
the outlet to prevent dripping water (condensation) from
running along the cable to the power supply and the outlet.
PULZAR LED modules are waterproof according to IP67 (DIN EN
60529). Nevertheless, high humidity and water spray within an
aquarium cover / aquariumhood might get into the sealed light
module. Water vapour inside your PULZAR LED might damage
the electronic.
Make sure, that if you install the PULZAR in an aquarium-hood,
there is a proper ventilation inside the hood. You can either
open the lids of your aquarium hood, installing ventilation
grids instead of lids or using an electrical fan to reduce the high
humidity & water-condensation inside your aquarium canopy.
Clean your PULZAR LED module from time to time, at least
once a week to remove dirt and to avoid dull protection
shields.
Make sure that all cables have no kinks in them and are not
routed over sharp edges (i.e. your aquarium hood or the
glass rim). Make sure that the cables cannot be jammed or
snagged, and cannot come into contact with hot surfaces (>
60 °C / 140 °F).
If you notice that the power cord is damaged, disconnect
the device from mains power supply immediately and
contact GIESEMANN or an authorized GIESEMANN partner.
Never open or repair the power-supply unit and lights by
yourself. Do not make any changes which are not described
in these operating instructions. The operating device
contains live (currentcarrying) parts (with 230 V AC).
A fatal injury can result from an opened device. Repairs may only be made
by authorized GIESEMANN partners service or GIESEMANN itself using
only original spare parts and accessories.
The following accessories are available:
-PULZAR hanging kit

controlling your PULZAR LED Module (optional)
PULZAR LED modules (only
HO
Versions) are dimmable and are equipped
with an additional data-cord. If you run the PULZAR HO without an external
cotroller device, they work in the 100% mode and can be switched via a plug
in timer. GIESEMANN is offering two different controllers for the light and
colour control of your PULZAR HO module:
Bluetooth Interface (item no. 20.171.035)
The Bluetooth Interface is a radio controlled light-computer that works via
Bluetooth. A Mac or Windows computer or an Android device (Tablet /
Smartphone is required) to control three independent light channels of your
PULZAR LED module.
Computer Interface (item no. 20.171.032)
The Computer Interface ist a device that connects your aquarium computer
with 1-10V output with up to 4 PULZAR HO modules. The functionallity is
depended on the functions your aquarium computer is offering.
.
By using interfaces or dimmers, it may happen, that some LED
doesn’t switch off completely at 0% and they glow with a very light
intensity. This effect can be caused by canister filters with earthed heater
or other earthed electrical devices in your aquarium.
