2) Switching-on of the day light at the switching-ON time set by the
user, with a progressive raising of the light intensity for about
30 minutes (the white and red LEDs become on; the blue LEDs
remain on).
3) Switching-off of the day light at the switching-OFF time set by
the user, with a progressive lowering of the light intensity for
about 30 minutes (the white and red LEDs switch off; the blue
LEDs remain on).
4) Complete switching-off of the blue actinic light 2 hours and 30
minutes after the switching-OFF time set by the user, with a
progressive lowering of the light intensity for about 30 minutes
(complete switching-off of the blue LEDs).
You can always turn the light on and off manually, even if the timer
is set to automatic mode.
The timer is equipped with a lock function to prevent accidental pres-
sure of the keys. Key locking is activated automatically after 3 min-
utes of inactivity. The locked status is signaled by the “bloc” message
that appears as soon as the block is activated and at each subse-
quent pressing of any keys. To remove the locked status and access
the timer functions, it is necessary to press the , and keys
quickly in sequence. Unlocking is confirmed by the appearance of
4 dashes on the clock digits for a few moments. If during the pro-
gramming phase the current time or the on/off times settings are not
completed, the lock will not activate after 3 minutes of key inactivity.
There is also a demo mode (DEMO), which simulates the complete
daily cycle in a few seconds to highlight the potential off the led
lighting system when controlled by the integrated timer
(point F).
IMPORTANT
Turning the light off manually with the button on the Timer and
turning the light off automatically at the set time do not disconnect
the lighting unit from the power supply.
The PURE
LED
aquarium timer does not need batteries. If there is a
mains power failure, the system maintains the user settings for at
least 12 hours.
A. Setting the clock time on first start up (hours and
minutes)
Once the lighting unit is connected to the power supply, the timer
waits for the time to be set (it displays icon and the two hour
digits flash).
1) Set the hour by pressing to increase and to decrease the
setting. Then press to set the minutes.
2) Set the minutes by pressing to increase and to decrease
the setting. Press to confirm. The time has now been set.
If not any other programming operation is carried out, the lighting
system is pre-set to switch the day light on at 10:00 a.m. and switch
it off at 6:00 p.m. according to pre-set ramps. Therefore the blue light
will switch on at 08:00 a.m. and will switch off completely at 8:30 p.m.
To set the on/off times to your preference or to set the only manual
mode, refer to point
C.
