NOTES FOR USE WITH AQUATIC HABITATS:
PLUG THE TIMER INTO A GROUNDED GFCI
(Ground Fault Interrupted Circuit)
OUTLET:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this timer has a three-prong plug and
must be plugged into a grounded three-prong receptacle. If using this timer
near aquatic habitats (e.g. Aquatic turtle habitats or tanks with other
aquatic species), the receptacle must also be GFCI protected. If you are
unsure about the electrical supply and connection, contact a
qualified licensed electrician.
See figure 1
.
DRIP LOOP:
If using near an aquatic habitat, the appliances
plugged into this timer must incorporate a “drip loop”. The drip
loop will prevent water from running along the power cords and getting the
timer outlet or wall receptacle wet. To create a drip loop, be sure that a
portion of each power cord is lower than the level of the wall receptacle as
shown in figure 2
. 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.
