3. When the desired daylight color spectrum is reached, press Daylight and hold for 5 seconds. The light will flash, indicating the daylight color spectrum is now stored in memory.
4. Press Resume key for the light to go back into its normal 24-hour schedule. The display will show “T-ON”.

Program Moonlight Color Spectrum

1. Press Moonlight.
2. Press any of the pre-programmed color spectrums and customize the color and intensity using the adjustment buttons until your desired color spectrum is achieved.
   • Please see page 6 for moonlight color spectrum specifications and recommendations.
3. When the desired moonlight color spectrum and intensity are reached, press Moonlight and hold for 5 seconds. The light will blink, indicating the moonlight color spectrum is now stored in memory.
4. Press the Resume key for the light to go back into normal programming mode.

Customized On-Demand Color Spectrums

2. To exit the dynamic mode and put the light back in timer mode, press Resume.

Please note: These modes are recommended as on-demand only and cannot be incorporated into a programmed lighting schedule.

Controller Tips

The controller features an integrated IR (infrared) sensor which receives signals via the IR wireless remote. The remote will work up to 30 ft. away from the controller, however, it is best to ensure there is a clear “line of sight” between the remote and controller when programming or using dynamic lighting modes.

Many other home electronics use IR technology for control (such as your television TV). If you notice your light changing colors or time schedule changing, ensure your other electronics are not interfering with it (i.e. place the controller in a different location around the aquarium or under the stand).

Note: The Resume key can be used as a toggle between timing mode and color/dynamic modes. Please ensure to press Resume whenever you want the light to go back into the normal timing mode.

Recommended Color Spectrums

1. Sunlight
   • Provides a soft white color temperature similar to a lower K spectrum like 6,500K. Great for planted tanks and fish with orange and yellows.
2. Full Spectrum
   • Excellent for heavily planted aquariums, this color spectrum runs all of the white, red, green, and blue LEDs at full power.
3. Daylight
   • Similar to a 10,000K spectrum, emits a very crisp white with a hue of blue. We highly recommend this color for cichlids and other fish.
4. Deep Water
   • An amazing color for many aquarium fish. White mixed with a bit of blue and red makes many fish “pop” in color.

Moonlight

We recommend either a natural moonlight color (white) or a deep water moonlight (blue). Press Moonlight then one of the down arrows (hold each of the buttons down for 20 seconds) and the remote will lower the intensity level of each color spectrum to its lowest level (off) so that colors can be adjusted manually.

For example, to program blue moonlight

1. Press Moonlight.
2. Turn all colors off by pressing each down arrow key for 10 seconds.
3. Press the blue up arrow key once or twice (depending upon your preference).
4. Press Moonlight for 5 seconds. The light will blink and the moonlight setting is saved.

Note: If you do not wish to have moonlight, simply follow the steps above and once all colors are at their lowest (off) setting, press Moonlight for 5 seconds.

Important Safety Information 

This is NOT a page of legalese. It contains important safety information that you should read and save for future reference. Remember you can always quickly reference instructions for all Ecoxotic products on our website.

• Never attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
• Carefully examine the fixture after installation and BEFORE you plug it into the GFCI wall outlet. Be sure there is no water on any part of the fixture.
• Never plug in a wet cord. If a plugged-in unit or socket does get wet, DON'T touch it. Instead, promptly disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the fixture. Then, you may unplug the fixture and examine for the presence of water.
• Never operate a fixture that is damaged or malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and return the appliance to an authorized service facility.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Always unplug the fixture when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord to unplug from the GFCI outlet.
• Do not use the fixture for anything other than its intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the fixture manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition and will void your warranty.
• Do not install or store the fixture where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below 0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit.
• Do not operate at temperatures above 50° Celsius or 122° Fahrenheit.
• Ensure the fixture is securely installed before supplying power to the unit.
• Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the fixture and power cord.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a rating of at least 15 amperes should be used. A cord rated for fewer amperes or watts than the fixture rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
• Do not mount LEDs close to metal halide or high heat-producing fluorescent lamps.
• Do not look directly into the LEDs.

Important Warnings Drip Loops

Drip Loops should always be used to help prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with an electrical outlet. Drip loops must always be below the level of the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT TOUCH the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the system. After disconnecting the power, unplug and examine for the presence of water. To help protect the transformer, use the included Velcro tape attachment to secure it either inside the aquarium stand or anywhere it is safe from potential water spills.

Grounding Instructions

This LED system must be powered with a UL-approved 24VDC transformer. To avoid possible electric shock, this transformer must be plugged into a GFCI-protected AC outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances.

Maintenance

We recommend cleaning your light fixture once per week using a slightly damp towel or shammy with a bit of freshwater. Remove any mineral deposits and salt creep which may build up on your fixture. Remove from service if any rust or corrosion is found. Always clean your light with it removed from your aquarium and unplugged from the transformer and wall outlet.
