Exo Terra Solar Glo Installation instructions
®
CORRECT
INSTALLATION
CORRECT INSTALLATION: MOUNT VERTICALLY.
INCORRECT INSTALLATION: DO NOT MOUNT AT AN ANGLE!
1. Carefully remove the bulb from its packaging, hold bulb by the
base and inspect the glass envelope for any possible cracks or
damage. If bulb shows any signs of damage see the warranty
section of this manual.
2. The Exo Terra Solar Glo must be housed in a well-ventilated
®
fixture with a ceramic/porcelain base (e.g. Exo Terra
Dome (PT2057), the Exo Terra
Exo Terra Wire Light (PT2062)) that is rated for at least the
®
4
wattage of the bulb; DO NOT use a plastic socket as it is a
fire hazard and will void the warranty. The Solar Glo must be
mounted in a vertically oriented fixture so that the bulb points
straight down, not at an angle (see diagram). Mounting this bulb
at an angle will reduce its 'burn life" and will void any warranty.
3. Do not use this bulb in conjunction with a dimmer or thermostat.
4. This bulb is sensitive to high temperatures and vibration.
Make sure that it is mounted in a place with good ventilation
and where it will not need to be disturbed. Moving the bulb
while switched on or still hot can damage the fragile element,
shortening its life and also will void the warranty. For maximum
security, please use in conjunction with the Exo Terra
Bracket (PT2223).
5. Mounting Location: The Solar Glo will function best when
mounted outside the terrarium where it is not exposed to
extreme heat, humidity and vibration. If you must mount the bulb
inside the terrarium, make sure that your reptile cannot come in
contact with it. If the bulb shuts off unexpectedly,
a safety feature called "thermal reset" has likely occurred
(see #7 and #8 for more information).
6. Plug fixture into an electrical outlet (a surge protector is
recommended). The Solar Glo will take five minutes to "warm
up" and reach its full intensity. The bulb's output will continue to
change hue (or color) until it has completely warmed up.
7. Restarting: The Solar Glo bulb will take 15 minutes to cool down
after turning off the bulb, before being restarted. This is due
to a thermal reset feature intended to prevent damage due to
overheating of the bulb.
8. If the Solar Glo bulb seems to shut off for no apparent reason,
one of the following conditions may exist;
INCORRECT
INSTALLATION
® Light
Reptile Dome (PT2349) or the
®
Light
®
a. The power being supplied to your outlet is inappropriate or
fluctuating. Small changes in line voltage can trip the bulb's
thermal reset mechanism. If the voltage is consistently low then
the bulb will not be able to function properly. Check with your
local utility or your electrician to verify your voltage. Overdriving
the bulb (i.e. higher voltage levels) by as little as 10% can
decrease burn life by more than 50% and would void
any warranty.
b. There is too much heat in or around the terrarium and the
bulb. The Solar Glo's thermal reset feature will shut the bulb off
for a cool down period if it gets too hot. Using the bulb in a place
or fixture that is not well ventilated can cause heat buildup. If
the bulb occasionally shuts off to cool down and later restarts
(usually about 15 minutes) this is normal; however, if the bulb
shuts off all the time or for several hours at a time, see the
warranty section of these instructions.
LIMITED WARRANTY:
1. The Solar Glo is guaranteed to light for six months from the date
of purchase under normal daily usage. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT;
the original receipt or invoice is required for any warranty
transaction. Bulbs will not be replaced without a receipt. If the
bulb fails before the warranty period is over, return it with the
receipt to the place of purchase for exchange.
2. IMPORTANT: The Solar Glo has a built-in overheat protection
mechanism that will prevent the bulb from restarting, for a
period of approx. 15 minutes, after shutdown. In other words,
if you turn it off and then turn it on again, it will not light up again
until the switch resets (approx. 15 minutes). Please ensure that
this is not the case before returning the bulb. (See Installation
instruction #8.)
3. As with any heating device you must exercise caution. The
guarantee is strictly limited to the replacement of the Solar Glo
bulb only. The warranty does not apply to misuse of the Solar Glo
or damage arising from such use including, but not limited to;
animal, personal or property damage.
