2. Information momba ny fiarovana

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product.

• Esory foana ny herinaratra alohan'ny hanaovana fikojakojana, fametrahana, na fanadiovana.
• Ensure the chiller is placed on a stable, level surface.
• Maintain at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space around the chiller for adequate heat dissipation. Blocking vents can lead to overheating and reduced performance.
• Do not operate the chiller if the power cord or plug is damaged.
• Do not immerse the main chiller unit in water. The water pump is submersible, but the chiller unit is not.
• Ity fitaovana ity dia natao ho an'ny fampiasana anatiny ihany.
• Arovy amin'ny ankizy.
• Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for all electrical connections to prevent electrical shock.

Follow these steps for proper installation of your aquarium chiller.

1. Positioning the Chiller: Place the chiller on a flat, stable surface near your aquarium or hydroponic system. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space around all sides for optimal airflow and heat dissipation.
2. Prepare Connectors: Gather the provided connectors, including the white sealing washers.
3. Install Inlet/Outlet Nozzles:
   • Insert a white sealing washer onto each inlet/outlet nozzle.
   • Place the pipe joint into the black nut cap.
   • Tighten the black nuts onto the chiller's inlet and outlet ports.
4. Connect Water Pump: Attach one end of the water pipe to the outlet of the submersible water pump. Secure it with a clamp raha ilaina.
5. Connect Chiller to System:
   • Connect the other end of the water pipe from the pump to the chiller's inlet port.
   • Connect a second water pipe from the chiller's outlet port back to your aquarium or hydroponic system.
   • Ataovy azo antoka fa mafy tsara ary tsy tantera-drano ny fifandraisana rehetra mba hisorohana ny fivoahan'ny rano.
6. Paompy manondraka: Place the submersible water pump into your aquarium or hydroponic reservoir. Ensure it is fully submerged and positioned to draw water effectively.
7. Fampifandraisana herinaratra: Plug the chiller's power cord into a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. Plug in the water pump's power cord.

5. Torolàlana miasa

The chiller features a digital control panel for temperature setting and calibration.

5.1. Power On/off

Locate the power switch on the back of the unit. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the chiller. The digital display will illuminate.

Figure 8: Power switch. This image shows the main power switch located on the rear panel of the chiller unit.

5.2. Temperature Setting (Assumed Target Temperature Range: 75-79°F)

The chiller will begin cooling after a 2-3 minute power-on delay. To adjust the target temperature:

1. Set Shutdown Temperature: Tsindrio ny Set fanalahidy. Ampiasao ny ▲ (ambony) na ▼ (down) arrow keys to adjust the desired shutdown temperature (e.g., 77°F). Press the voalohany lakile hitahiry.
2. Set Starting Temperature (F1 Code): Tsindrio lava ny Set fanalahidy hatramin'ny F1 code appears. Then, press the Set key again. Use the ▲ or ▼ arrow keys to adjust the temperature difference (e.g., to 4°F for a working range of 4°F).

Figure 9: Temperature setting and F2 calibration. This image provides a visual guide to setting the shutdown temperature and adjusting the F1 code for the working temperature range, as well as the F2 calibration process.

5.3. F2 Calibration Setting

If the chiller's displayed temperature does not match an external thermometer, you can calibrate it:

1. Tsindrio lava ny Set lakile haseho F1. Tsindrio ny ▲ lakile haseho F2. mpanao gazety Set indray.
2. Ampiasao ny ▲ or ▼ arrow keys to adjust the offset value (e.g., to 5 if the chiller reads 77°F and the actual temperature is 72°F, meaning a -5 adjustment is needed). Press voalohany mba hiverina amin'ny fampisehoana maripana ankehitriny.

6. Fikojakojana

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your chiller.

• Fanalana rivotra madio: Periodically check and clean the air intake and exhaust vents to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can impede heat dissipation. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
