5. STARTING UP THE SYSTEM
5.1. Routine operation
WARNING
To avoid electric risk, each power cable of the electric
devices has to show a drip loop positioned lower than
the plug-outlet connection point in order to prevent any
drop from reaching such point.
1) Read the warnings in Chap. 1.
2) After having connected the plug of each electric device verify the
operation of the same (in case of malfunction refer to(in case of malfunction refer to chap. 7chap. 7):):
• Water should ow out of the delivery.
• The warning light of the thermal heater should turn on if the
water temperature is lower than the setpoint.
• The programming timer should be on, with its two rst digits
ashing.
5.1.1. Programming the timer and lighting system
PURE XL HCLED MARINE aquariums are equipped with an integrat-
ed digital electronic timer that controls the switching-on sequence of
the white, red and blue LEDs that make up the lighting unit. Thanks
to a simple interface (g. 20), the timer allows performing several
functions:
• Light on / off in manual mode.
• Light on / off in automatic mode, at set times.
• Managing the Rolling Filtration Timer (RFT), the system that
every 15 days reminds the user to replace the CARBON and
ZEO cartridges to keep the aquarium under ideal conditions.
The timer has three touch sensitive buttons, 4 status icons and 4
digital digits. If you set automatic light on/off times, the unit runs a
daily cycle with the following steps:
1) Switching-on of the blue actinic light 2 hours before the switch-
ing-ON time set by the user, with a progressive raising of the
light intensity for about 30 minutes (only the blue LEDs are on).

2) Switching-on of the day light at the switching-ON time set by the
user, with a progressive raising of the light intensity for about
30 minutes (the white and red LEDs become on; the blue LEDs
remain on).
3) Switching-off of the day light at the switching-OFF time set by
the user, with a progressive lowering of the light intensity for
about 30 minutes (the white and red LEDs switch off; the blue
LEDs remain on).
4) Complete switching-off of the blue actinic light 2 hours and 30
minutes after the switching-OFF time set by the user, with a
progressive lowering of the light intensity for about 30 minutes
(complete switching-off of the blue LEDs).
You can always turn the light on and off manually, even if the timer
is set to automatic mode.
The timer is equipped with a lock function to prevent accidental pres-
sure of the keys. Key locking is activated automatically after 3 min-
utes of inactivity.The locked status is signaled by the “bloc” message
that appears as soon as the block is activated and at each subse-
quent pressing of any keys.To remove the locked status and access
the timer functions, it is necessary to press the , and keys
quickly in sequence. Unlocking is conrmed by the appearance of
4 dashes on the clock digits for a few moments. If during the pro-
gramming phase the current time or the on/off times settings are not
completed, the lock will not activate after 3 minutes of key inactivity.
There is also a demo mode (DEMO), which simulates the complete
daily cycle in a few seconds to highlight the potential off the led
lighting system when controlled by the integrated timer (point F).
IMPORTANT
Turning the light off manually with the button on the Timer and
turning the light off automatically at the set time do not disconnect
the lighting unit from the power supply.
The PURE LED aquarium timer does not need batteries. If there is a
mains power failure, the system maintains the user settings for at
least 12 hours.
A. Setting the clock time on rst start up (hours and

5.1.2. Filtration
CAUTION
Always close the lter cover after the necessary oper-
ations have been performed, to prevent algae growing
on the lters due to their exposure to direct light.
The water of each aquarium has to undergo continuous mechanical,
biological and chemical ltration in order to provide the best habitat
for the living beings present in the tank.
Mechanical ltration, which uses double layer sponges, removes
suspended particulates to keep the water clear. You can always
check the degree to which the sponges are soiled by simply opening
the lter cover.
Biological ltration, done by the nitrifying bacteria which grow in
the pores of the ceramic cylinders, minimises the level of toxic chem-
icals in the water, which are harmful for the aquatic fauna, transform-
ing the ammonia produced by the sh into nitrates. It takes around
4 weeks for a sufcient amount of bacteria for effective purication
to develop in the ltration media. For this reason, shes have to be
added very gradually to allow the nitrifying bacteria to have enough
time to settle, multiply and be effective.
Chemical ltration is carried out by the CARBON and ZEO car-
tridges:
• CARBON: Activated carbon for purifying the previously ltered
water from bad odours, colourants, pharmacological residues
and other undesired compounds.
• ZEO: zeolite, a natural origin material, is used to remove the
ammonia produced by the sh, supporting the action of the bio-
logical lter and limiting the build-up of nitrates.
The regular replacement of the CARBON and ZEO cartridges (par.
6.2) allows keeping the main unwanted compounds under control,
thus maintaining the water clear and crystalline.
5.1.3. Heating
WARNING
To avoid the risk of burns:
After disconnecting the plug, let the hot parts of the
thermal heater (about 30 minutes) and of the lighting
unit (about 5 minutes) cool down, before handling
them. On the thermal heater, the warning light indi-
cates only that the heating phase is active. When the
warning light is off, it does not mean that the thermal
heater is cool.
CAUTION
The thermal heater is factory calibrated. Variables like
low ambient temperature, large temperature uctua-
tions, lack of covers, positioning of the product close
to cooling sources, may require a higher power to pro-
vide for a better temperature control.
Prevent the bottom (sand or other material) or any oth-
er objects in the aquarium from getting in contact with
the thermal heater. It is necessary to assure a free
water circulation around the glass tube.
Install the product close to the pump (g.9) to ensure
that the heated water is distributed evenly and com-
pletely throughout the aquarium.
The thermal heater allows adjusting aquarium water temperature
(from 18°C to 31°C) using the adjustment knob referred to the grad-
uated scale (g. 8). Once it has been started up for the rst time and
the water has reached the setpoint, the thermal heater will keep the
temperature constant by turning off and on as needed. Wait for the
water to reach the temperature set on the thermal heater before put-
ting sh or other animals into the aquarium. Check the temperature
with an aquarium thermometer (not provided).
REMARK
The thermal heater only guarantees water temperature control
when the set temperature is higher than the ambient temperature.
The maximum temperature rise (Δt) of water in relation to the am-
bient temperature is around 10 °C.
5.2. In case of power failure
Power failures have the following effects:
• Gradual reduction, after a few hours, of the effectiveness of the
biological lter, thus potentially damaging the aquarium eco-sys-
tem.
• The timer may need reprogramming if the power failure lasts
more than 12 hours or so.
• The water temperature may fall in proportion to the duration of
the power failure.
For malfunctions, refer to Chap. 7.

6.2. Rolling Filtration System
To keep the lters working properly and ensure the best water con-
ditions in the aquarium, Askoll recommends that you replace the
sponges and cartridges according to a specic maintenance sched-
ule, the Rolling Filtration System (RFS).
This can be done quite easily by purchasing the original Askoll
PURE MARINE FILTER MEDIA KIT maintenance kit from your trust-
worthy retailer (see product code under chapter 9). The Kit contains
1 sponge for mechanical ltration, 1 CARBON cartridge and 1 ZEO
cartridge.
Replace the sponges and cartridges as follows:
1) After disconnecting the plug of each electric device, open the
lter cover.

(par. 6.1).
4) Close the lter cover.
The timer integrated in Askoll PURE LED aquariums activates a con-
venient light warning every 15 days (icon ashing) suggesting
the replacement of the CARBON and ZEO cartridges. To turn off the
