Installation – Exo Terra®Natural Terrariums
Follow this installation procedure to install the Exo Terra®Monsoon
MULTI system on any size of Exo Terra®Natural Terrarium. The system
comes with two nozzles, which should be mounted on either glass side
panel of the terrarium as close as possible to the opening front doors.
A
1. Unlock the top screen cover and lift it off the terrarium.
2. Slide the inlet holes (located on the back of the screen top on either
side) to the open position, so the tubing will fit through.
3. Feed the tubing through the first inlet hole on each side on the back
of the terrarium. (fig.A)

Operating instructions
Use one of the three operating modes mentioned below to create the
appropriate rain cycle for your animals. You can switch between the
operating modes by pressing one of the three buttons in the center of
the control panel (fig. G):
1. O: The Exo Terra®Monsoon is switched off – No blue LED light is
visible in this mode.
2. ON : The Exo Terra®Monsoon is switched on – the blue LED “ON”
light is illuminated and the unit will operate CONTINUOUSLY. The
blue LED lights that indicate the cycle settings (duration and cycle)
are illuminated and will show which cycle parameters will be
used when the mode is switched to “CYCLE” mode (see below).
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THIS MODE THE MONSOON WILL NOT
SPRAY ACCORDING TO THESE CYCLE SETTINGS, IT WILL SPRAY

ENGLISHFRANÇAISDEUTSCHESPAÑOLITALIANO
NEDERLANDS
CONTINUOUSLY REGARDLESS OF THE CYCLE SETTINGS
3. CYCLE : The Exo Terra®Monsoon is in cycle mode – the blue LED
“CYCLE” light is illuminated and the unit will operate according
to the cycle and duration settings.Also the blue LED lights that
indicate the cycle settings (duration and cycle) are illuminated and
show which cycle parameters are currently used.You can alter the
“cycle” and “duration” settings by simply pressing the buttons on
the dials on the left and right side of the control panel.
• The left dial is to set the “cycle” (in hours) of the unit. Press the
button on the dial until the corresponding LED of your preferred
cycle is illuminated. For example, when the LED “4” is illuminated
the unit will operate every 4 hours.
• The dial on the right sets the “duration” of each operating cycle (in
seconds). Press the button on the dial until the corresponding LED
of your preferred duration is illuminated. For example, when the
LED light “30” is illuminated, the unit will operate for 30 seconds.*
• The Exo Terra®Monsoon MULTI should be set according to the
needs of the animals and to the size of the terrarium. Be careful not
to operate the unit too frequently or too long to avoid overflowing
the terrarium! The unit should be set so that water added to the
terrarium from the first operating cycle is allowed to evaporate
before the next operating cycle begins, or at least make sure that
the excess water can be drained out of the terrarium.
• After the unit has been set and the cycle button has been pressed
on (blue cycle LED is illuminated), the unit immediately starts it’s
first cycle.The next cycle will begin depending on hourly setting
of the first dial. If the unit is switched off, the cycle will start again
after the cycle button has been pressed. In the case of a power
failure, the unit will automatically resume in cycle mode. The first
cycle starts as soon as the power comes back on.
• When the reservoir is empty, it is advisable to refill the reservoir
immediately or to switch off the unit. The pump has a built in
safety cut-off that will switch off the pump (not the unit) when
overheated. When the pump cools down, it will automatically
switch on again. This is a safety feature, and one should not rely on
the thermal cut-off.
Adding additional Nozzes to the system
The Exo Terra®Monsoon MULTI can be operated with up to 6 nozzles.
Please note that every additional nozzle will result in less performance
from each nozzle installed. To connect additional nozzles, an extra
nozzle (PT2501) and a Y-connector (PT2498) is needed (sold separately).
Simply cut the tubing where convenient, preferably as close as possible
to the first Y-connector. Make sure the nozzle can easily be mounted in
its intended location without stretching the tubing. Connect the tubing
coming from the unit to the single hole of the Y-connector and the
other end of the tubing to the double hole. Connect the tubing from the
additional nozzle to the other hole of the Y-connector. Please note that
additional nozzles can be mounted in multiple terrariums.
Maintenance
It is advisable to place the unit in a dark location or otherwise shielded
from light to prevent the growth of algae in the reservoir. Should algae
form, just wipe the inside of the reservoir with a damp cloth. Do NOT
use detergent or solvents as it might harm your terrarium animals!
Make sure to discard any dirty water or water containing debris or
particles. Only use de-mineralised/distilled water or debris-free and

14
clean rainwater! Replace the filter regularly, at least every six months
depending on the usage and water quality. If the nozzles are clogged or
if they spray irregularly, place the nozzles overnight in a 50/50 water/
vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before mounting the
nozzles back onto the terrarium. If the problem persists, we recommend
replacing the spray head with the with one of the two replacement spray
heads with the nozzle tool (included). A replacement filter (PT2500) and
other accessories are available at your local Exo Terra®pet retailer.
Troubleshooting
1. There is no LED indicator illuminated on the unit:
• The unit is switched off, press either the “on” button or the
“cycle” button
• If the problem persists, make sure the power adaptor is
correctly inserted into the wall socket.
• That the power supply jack is connected to the unit
2. The tubing is leaking at the connectors:
• Disconnect the tubing from the connector by pressing down and
holding the blue ring while pulling the tubing. Connect the
tubing again by pushing the tubing firmly into the opening
as far as possible.
• If the problem persists, disconnect the tubing and cut off about 1,5
cm (1/2”) as straight as possible and reconnect.
3. The nozzle is leaking at the joints:
• If the nozzles are under pressure, accidental leakage might
occur near the joints. Try to move the nozzle in a slightly different
position. If the leakage occurs near the front joint (octagonal part),
try to tighten the front part.
• If the problem persists, replace the nozzle (available at your local
Exo Terra
®
pet retailer).
4. The nozzle does not spray or sprays irregularly:
• The nozzle may be clogged. Soak the nozzle overnight in a 50/50
solution of water/vinegar (See “Maintenance” section).
• If the problem persists, we recommend replacing the spray head
with one of the two replacement spray heads with
the nozzle tool (included).
• Using de-mineralized/distilled water will prolong the lifespan of the
nozzles. It is not recommended to open the nozzle, as it consists
of very small parts and any tampering will may result in complete
malfunction of the nozzle.
