INSTALLATION AND USAGE
CAUTION: Always disconnect the appliances in the aquarium from the electrical supply before any
kind of maintenance or installation is being performed.
The Fluval LED Lamp Timer provides control of up to two channels, which simultaneously operate two
12V lights, two 24V lights, or one 12V and one 24V light. Maximum power per channel is 36W at 12V
and 60W at 24V. The Fluval LED Lamp Timer is compatible with LEDs featuring a standard 2.1 x 5.5 mm
DC plug connection.
• Ensure LED lamp(s) is disconnected from the electrical supply.
• Connect the LED lamp to the male (top) DC connector on the timer.
• Connect the LED transformer (power source) to the female (bottom) DC connector on the timer.
• Connect the transformer plug to the electrical supply.
• Important: when connecting the LED lamp and the LED transformer (power source) to the timer,
always ensure that they are connected to the same matching channel (side) as each other.
• Important note: If connecting a dimmable LED lamp, ensure that your lights are set to 100%
(maximum output) before connecting it to the timer. This will allow the timer to calibrate the LED
lamp accurately.
