Installation – Other Terrarium Models
Refer to your terrarium's instruction manual for instructions on how to install
equipment, wiring and tubing inside the terrarium.
1. Mount the nozzles in position on the glass portion of the terrarium's
side panels with the suction cups. Make sure that the glass area is
clean and free of any dirt or deposits before mounting the nozzles.
For the best results, mount the nozzles as close as possible to the
front opening windows and the top screen.
2. Direct the nozzle positions inside the terrarium so that the spray
stream will avoid spraying on the terrarium's front and side panels
when in operation.
3. Use the additional suction cups to neatly guide the tubing along the
side panels to the inlet location of your terrarium.
4. Place the Monsoon SOLO unit on a hard, stable, level surface.
5. Connect the tubing to the top of the unit by pressing the tubing
firmly into the opening as far as possible.
6. Make sure that the filter is properly connected to the spigot on the
underside of the control unit and placed inside the reservoir.
7. Ensure that the top of the Monsoon SOLO unit fits tightly on top
of the reservoir.
8. Open the small lid on top of the unit, and fill the reservoir with de-
mineralized/distilled water up to a maximum of 2,5 cm (1") from
the top rim of the transparent reservoir. (Using regular tap water
will cause clogging of the nozzles by mineral deposits!)

9. Close the lid and connect the power supply jack to the back of
the unit.
10. Make sure the unit is in its final operating location, standing level
on a hard surface.
11. Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket, your Exo Terra
Monsoon SOLO High-pressure Misting system is now ready to use.
In order to remove the tubing from the unit, press and hold the blue
ring down, while pulling out the tubing. Please note that nozzles
can be mounted in multiple terrariums.
