Using the sera terrarium lighting hood instead of the mesh
cover (fig. 3)
You can install the sera lighting hood directly in the frame holder
instead of the mesh cover (2.1) when keeping reptiles that do
not jump nor climb, e.g. turtles, or that do not reach the upper
frame of the terrarium for other reasons. First take out the front
or back mesh frame. Fold the mesh frame (3.1) upwards and to
the front or, in case of the back frame, pull it out to the back to
do so. Do not bend the fold-up mesh frames for taking them
out. Now place the sera light hood precisely in the frame holder
for the mesh cover (3.2). Connect the sera light hood to the
mains supply and switch on the lamps.
Using timers
Both light functions can also comfortably be controlled with a
timer. The lamp switches must be in the "I" position for this pur-
pose. Also follow the information for use of the timer you use.
Cleaning
The surface of the sera reptil terra top can be wiped with a
slightly moist cloth. Use non-corrosive, solvent free neutral de-
tergents and no organic solvents or abrasive detergents such
as scouring agents.

Maintenance
Lamp replacement
Faulty, flickering or only weakly burning lamps should be re-
placed. Disconnect the unit from the mains supply before taking
the sera light hood off the terrarium. Place the sera light hood
on a soft mat with the bottom side facing upwards. Unscrew the
lamps from the fixtures by hand. Follow the disposal advice of
the manufacturer.
LeD replacement (fig. 4)
The LED lighting consists of two blocks with three light emitting
diodes (1.3) each. The three light emitting diodes within a block
are linked with each other, therefore the other LEDs will also not
emit light any more if one LED fails. This means you possibly
have to replace only one LED if a block fails. The LEDs can be
pulled out by hand without any tools (4.1). The anode of the LED
(4.2) directs towards the inner side, the cathode (4.3) towards
the outside. You will notice a wide and a narrow metal piece
(4.2 / 4.3) when holding the LED by its contacts and watching
through it from the side. The wide metal piece (4.3) of the light
emitting diode is the cathode, the narrow one is the anode (4.2).
You can easily check which LED is faulty by using a 3 V coin
cell, or you replace all three LEDs of a block with a functioning
LED one after the other until you found the faulty LED.
