Information for use
sera LED Moonlight Set
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future use. When forwarding this unit to third
parties, this information for use is also to be handed over.
Congratulations for purchasing our LED Moonlight
Set. You purchased an innovative product devel-
oped for allowing an interesting nocturnal observa-
tion of your aquarium or terrarium, and to meet the
requirements of your animals to life according to the
rhythm of nature.
The sera LED Moonlight Set is a nocturnal light-
ing system that imitates moonlight conditions during
lunation. Lunation lasts 29 days from new moon via
waxing moon until the brightest phase at full moon,
followed by waning moon until the next new moon.
Light variations of the different moon phases are sim-
ulated by the brightness program, as shown in the
image. It is therefore possible to design the aquarium
or terrarium even more similar to nature.
Please read this information for use carefully and fol-
low the following advice as to ensure lasting joy in
your new product.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Use the sera LED Digital Moonlight Timer only
within its application range as described in the fol-
lowing in this information for use. It is a low voltage
moonlight timer with an application range of 10 –
20 V DC input voltage and not exceeding 3 A input
current. The maximum output voltage cannot exceed
the input voltage.
Application and application range
The sera LED Digital Moonlight Timer allows dim-
ming one or several sera LED X-Change Tubes (also
in different lengths) up to a total wattage of 60 W.
The "moonlight" sera LED X-Change Tube is already
included in the set.
Unlike the sera LED Digital Dimmer, which was de-
signed for dimming daylight, the sera LED Digital
Moonlight Timer does not cause a reddish dimming
process even with sera sunrise Tubes.
Make sure the wattage is not exceeded and the
lamps in question are really dimmable at voltages
ranging from 10 – 20 V in case the sera LED Digi-
tal Moonlight Timer is being used with other LED
lamps. Several LED lamps can be operated via one
LED ballast/driver.
Operating the sera LED Moonlight Sets requires a
20 V DC LED ballast. The sera LED Moonlight Set
can be additionally connected to an existing ballast
such as the sera LED Driver using the Triple Cable,
provided the wattage is sufficient (3 A).
Otherwise we recommend the sera LED Driver
20 V DC 1 A (3 B).
Please be aware that ballasts for personal computers
are not permitted for operating LED lamps.

Assembly instruction
The sera LED Digital Moonlight Timer is connect-
ed between LED driver/ballast and the sera LED
moonlight (LED lamp) as a consumer. If you wish to
control several consumers, connect the sera LED
Triple Cable to the output of the moonlight timer
as a distributor. This allows you connecting up to
three consumers. You can even increase the num-
ber of possible consumers with further distributors.
The cables cannot be connected falsely as the used
barrel connectors provide protection against polar-
ity reversal.
Location
The sera LED Digital Moonlight Timer should be
installed in an easily accessible place. Make sure it
is installed in a dry area. Use the included holder (1.7)
to do so. It can be easily mounted to/in a cabinet or
such by using 4 screws (1.8).
