This product is designed for indoor use and the illumination of vivariums only and will provide a good and safe service life, provided that these instructions are
followed. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
If you are in any doubt about the installation or operation of this product, please consult a qualified and experienced electrician.
Check that the voltage and frequency rating on the product label is the same as your electrical supply before proceeding further.
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1. Disconnect all appliances in the enclosure from the mains supply socket before carrying out maintenance on the Luminaire.
2. Always support the Luminaire when fitting or adjusting the suspension height.
3. Do not operate the Luminaire less than the recommended distance above the animal.
It is advised that no human or animal should be allowed to be any closer than 20cm to the unit during normal use but the suitable distance for use above animals
is dependent on the UVI and heat projection of each type of lamp installed and the needs of each species. Greater minimum distances apply for UVB lamps (see
individual lamp instructions). Please email info@arcadia-reptile.com or see the lighting guide at www.arcadiareptile.com/lighting/guide/ for further advice.
4. Regularly check all mountings and suspension parts.
5. Do not look directly into the light source.
6. Do not touch the light or heat sources while they are on. Turn all the lamps off and allow the light and heat sources to cool before performing maintenance on them.
7. The Luminaire can get HOT. Never touch the Luminaire while it is operating. Turn all the lamps off and allow adequate time for it to cool before attempting any maintenance.
8. A thermal, UV and photo gradient should be maintained underneath the fitting as shown In Illustration 1 and after consultation on the type of species being illuminated.
9. Do not operate the Luminaire with defective or faulty lamps – circuit damage may occur. Replace lamps promptly with a lamp of the correct type and wattage. It
is advisable to keep spare lamps available.
10. Do not use the appliance other than for providing vivarium illumination. The use of non-Arcadia attachments, lamps or accessories is not recommended and may
cause an unsafe condition.
11. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to extremes of temperature or water ingress.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Select a suitable site close to your electricity supply. Do not connect appliance to the mains supply socket during installation. This appliance is for indoor use only.
Ensure the appliance is kept in a ventilated area and away from other heat sources. Make sure that the light from the appliance is aimed within the vivarium. This unit
is IP20 and is not protected against ingress of water, it should be mounted away from all water sources.
Place the luminaire in the desired position either on top of the Vivarium mesh or suspended by the suspension kit.
Ensure the mains lead and the luminaire are kept well out of reach of animals that might bite or damage them.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Before installing, ensure that the rated voltage and frequency of the Luminaire match that of your power supply, and that the mains lead plug is fully compatible with
your mains supply socket. If in doubt, please return the unit to the point of purchase for verification.
Before connecting any of the mains leads to the mains ensure that the inline switches are off and that any switches at the mains sockets are off. This is an extra
precaution to prevent any surge damage to electrical components.
Cut a slit in the cable inlet socket and push the two-pin plug through the hole and into the socket of the luminaire. Ensure it is pushed fully home.
The mains leads for the ceramic clamp lamps should be connected to a suitable thermostat to prevent animals becoming overheated.
Plug in the mains leads to the mains sockets and switch on any socket switches. Turn on the inline switches.
WIRE SUSPENSION KIT
Attach the Quick-adjust holders to either end of the unit using the countersunk screws provided.
Attach the suspension wires to ceiling hooks or loop them around a convenient beam. When both suspension wires are in place, feed the wires down through the
buttons on top of the Quick-adjust holders which will automatically hold the wires in position.
To lower the height of the unit, support the fitting one end at a time, and release the wire by depressing the button at the top of the quick-adjust. To raise the fitting,
support it and pull the wire through the hole in the side of the quick-adjust holders.
When adjusting the fitting always ensure that there is enough wire to achieve your target height. Always leave a minimum 10 mm of wire showing. Excess wire can
be concealed on the top. If cutting the wire, wrap the wire with masking tape and cut with sharp, heavy duty side cutters. Place the plastic bung on the end of the
wire after cutting it.
