INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Apex Lunar Simulation Module. The Lunar
Simulator Module (LSM) provides the ability to simulate the true lunar cycle on your
aquarium. The 2 to 5 LED lights included with the simulator turn on and off at the
appropriate moon rise and moon set times and they wax and wane in intensity in phase
with the lunar cycle.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING: Your Apex must be running firmware version 4.10 or higher to support the
Lunar Simulator Module (LSM). The current firmware version can be checked from the
Apex Display on the Self Test screen. If needed, please upgrade the Apex Base Module
firmware to 4.10 or higher before proceeding with the installation. See the Apex Setup and
Programming Guide for firmware upgrade instructions.
The LSM and LEDs should be securely mounted in a location free from moisture. Use wood
screws through the mounting tabs of the module case or if mounting on drywall, use
drywall anchors (mounting hardware not included).
•
Mount all modules above the water line of the aquarium.
•
Be sure to utilize drip loops on all power cords, AquaBus cables and probe cables.
•
The LED boxes should be mounted above the tank and each LED provides
approximately 2’ of coverage for each LED. For best coverage the LED modules
should be mounted about 6-8” above the surface of the water.
