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
