Exo Terra LIGHT CYCLE UNIT Mode D'emploi page 7

Note: For safety purposes it is recommended that either two T8
bulbs or two T10 bulbs be installed. Do not install a combination
of T8 and T10 bulbs.
3. Insert the bulb into the end cap so that the pins align with the
internal sockets. Push while inserting the bulb into the end cap
to ensure a positive connection.
4. Once the fluorescent bulbs have been inserted into the end
caps, position the bulbs on top of the metal screen cover of the
terrarium (not over the glass as UVB light does not penetrate
glass). Ensure that the surface of the screen cover is flat and
even so that the bulbs will not roll. Ensure that the bulbs are
positioned over the top metal screen portion of the terrarium and
NOT over any glass, plastic parts, or other flammable material.
Failure to do so could result in a possible fire hazard.
5. Keep unit out of reach of children. Keep unit away from curtains
or other flammable objects.
Setting the timer:
1. Ensure that the unit is turned on.
2. To test if the unit is functioning properly, move the indicator to
"CYCLE TEST " and press the "START TEST" button. This allows
the unit to perform an automatic internal check of its system.
The night/day light indicators will illuminate sequentially as the
unit performs the test (which takes about a minute).
3. When the test is completed, select preferred lighting period
(10, 1, or 1 hours) by moving the switch to the appropriate
indicator. (example: if "10 hours" is selected, it means that the
light will stay on for 10 hours, etc).
Note: the built-in timer is geared to begin activating the light
cycle at the same time each day. For example, if the unit is
turned on at 9:00 am on the first day of operation, then it will
automatically begin activating the light cycle at 9:00 am on every
subsequent day. It will continue activating the cycle daily at
the same time unless the power is interrupted (unit is switched
on/off, power failure, etc). When the power is restored, the timer
will automatically adjust and the cycle will re-activate based on
START CYCLE 10Hrs 12Hrs 14Hrs
