discard the appliance.

• Carefully examine the fixture after installation and BEFORE you plug it into the GFCI and wall outlet.
Be sure there is no water on any part of the fixture.

• Never plug in a wet cord. If a plugged in unit or socket does get wet, DON’T touch it. Instead, promptly
disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the fixture. Then, you may unplug the fixture
and examine for the presence of water.

• Never operate a fixture that is damaged or malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and return the
appliance to an authorized service facility.

for less Amperes or watts than the fixture rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
There is no light coming from the fixture

Solution(s):
Check to see that the unit is plugged into a 115V power source
Check the reset button on the GFCI
Check to see if the power switch is turned on
Check to make sure the lid is installed on the fixture

Problem:
Some of the LED’s on one of the strips are not working

Solution(s):
Unplug the unit from the AC source and open the top lid of the fixture. Locate the individual transformer that powers
the LED strip. Disconnect the wires at the terminal block that connect to the LED strip. Remove the LED strip and
replace. Replacement strips and modules are available at www.ecoxotic.com/products.

Problem:
An entire strip of LED’s are not operating

Solution(s):
Unplug the unit from the AC source and open the top lid of the fixture. Locate the individual transformer that powers
the LED strip that is not operating. Exchange the output wires with a transformer that you know is operating. If the
LED strip is now working, you must replace the transformer that was connected to the LED strip in question. If the
LED strip is still not working, the LED strip must be replaced. Replacement strips and modules are available at www.
ecoxotic.com/products.

Problem:
After operating for a period time the entire fixture turns off

Solution(s):
The fixture is turning off on thermal overload as a result of operating beyond its rated temperature. The ambient
temperature must be reduced. If the fixture is in a canopy, it must be removed.

Problem:
When the lid is removed the entire fixture turns off.

Solution(s):
You should always unplug the fixture before servicing or before accessing the aquarium. The Panorama is equipped
with a micro switch as a back up device if you forget to unplug the fixture before removing the lid. Once the lid is
removed the power to the unit is turned off.
