4. Installation
The light can be fixed at the ceiling with the attached steel cable suspension.
The cable suspension system provides a neat and simple method of ceiling mounting of
aquasunLED and other suitable lights.
Concerning the aquasunLED 200 W and 300 W, the power supplies are firmly mounted to the lamp
with a cable. If the cable should be pulled e.g. through a narrow opening, the power supply has to
be separated together with the plug from the lamp. The power plug has to be pulled then!
Contents:
The suspension system comprises 2 pcs. of each of the following:
1. Ceiling plate with screws and plugs, 2 metre stainless steel cable with stopper
2. Light fixing (cable with Y-piece and end bushes)
Mounting:
The two ceiling plates (1.1) must be securely screwed to the ceiling by using the screws and plugs.
Suitable screws and plugs are provided but you should ensure your ceiling is capable of holding the
weight of the light in this way. The distance between the two suspension points at the ceiling must
be 85 cm (100 and 200 W version) resp. 125 cm (150 and 300 W version).
Stainless steel cable: The stainless steel cable is now fed through the retaining bush (1.3) of the
ceiling plate so that the stopper (1.2) is retained inside the ceiling plate. The retaining bush is
screwed onto the ceiling plate allowing the stainless steel cable to hang free.
Fixing of the light:
The stainless steel cable has to be drawn through the light fixing of the Y-piece. To do so, the cable
is fed through the fixing from the top (2.1.1). It is drawn through the side opening (2.1.2) and
then it has to be pulled until the lamp is in the correct height above the aquarium. As soon as the
light is adjusted in the right position, tighten the safety bolt (2.2) to avoid a canting of the lamp.
Release the fixing:
The light fixing has a non-return mechanism so that the cable can easily be adjusted. To remove
the light or re-adjust the height, press the adjustment screw (2.1.1). – Caution: Hold the light
tight! Now, the stainless steel cable can be pulled out of the light fixing.
When the light is mounted in the correct position, any surplus cable may be cut off by pliers.
Pay attention to the required minimum distance of 30 cm to the water surface!
In course of time, even stainless steel could corrode by humid ambient air. Therefore,
check the steel cables regularly and replace them, if necessary.
