Section 1 - Establishing Euronet
Even though all Angel LED fixtures are tested at our factory, we suggest you perform your own initial test and
configuration prior to installing your fixtures over your aquarium. This is a great way get a better understanding of
your new LED fixtures without having to stay perched above your aquarium, and the Angel will save your setting so
anything you configure will be saved.
1. Place each Angel fixture on the floor or a table, face up – but do not plug into power yet.
•This is also a great time mount your fixtures if you’re using our rail system.
•Take care to never look directly into the fixture when powered on.
2. Next, plug in power to the units one at a time.
3. As you power additional units, enable the Euronet link. Here's how:
•Press the configuration button on first fixture for 2 seconds, and then immediately press the
configuration button on the second fixture for 2 seconds.
•You will see the indicator LED pulsing rapidly until the two units link. After linking, the indicator lights
will blink slowly to indicate pairing.
•Repeat this step one at a time for each new fixture added to your system until complete.
•We suggest using the button on the first fixture each time you pair a new fixture to the network.
•Wait about 30 seconds between pairings to insure all units are properly synchronized.

Section 2 - Euroquatics Remote App Setup
All Angel fixtures come with built in WiFi capability. This allows you to quickly configure your LED system from smart
phone (using our Euroquatics Remote app), or on a Windows or Mac computer (using our web-based interface).
Once you have your Euronet network completed, your system is in “Access Point” mode. This allows you to use
your smart phone and our free Remote App to control your lighting. Here's how:
!
•Download our Remote App from the iOS App Store or the Android Play store for free by searching
"Euroquatics."
•Open up your smart phone's WiFi settings and find the network named “Euronet” and select it as shown in
picture #1.
•Open the Euroquatics Remote App on your phone.
•Select the Euronet network as shown in picture #2.
•After selecting the Euronet network, you’ll be taken to the configuration/home screen.

NOTE: The first time you log in the app will request the password for the system. The default password is
“Admin123” and is case sensitive!
!
If you can see the Angel system but the app wont seem to open close the app and go into network settings and
have your mobile device forget the network. Then reconnect and try again. Make sure you completely close the
app and that it’s not running in the background!

Overview of the Euroquatics Remote App
The Euroquatics Remote app gives you quick access to a number of preset Programs and Moods. The app is also
able to set the time for the Euronet network, which is very important for time-based lighting control.
Setting the Time
The first thing you should do is set the time, particularly if you’re using the Euroquatics Remote app as your primary
configuration method. See picture #4.
•Open "Settings" by touching the gear icon in the upper right corner.
•Adjust the hours and minutes of the device on the next screen by scrolling up or down to the correct time
and then touch "Set" at the bottom left of the screen.
•NOTE: Currently the time is set in 24-hour format. This will be adjustable in future releases.

Section 2 - Euroquatics Remote App Setup
Start by touching the “Set Program” button on the screen.
You will be taken to the Program selection menu, where you can scroll up and down to pick a preset Program.
NOTE: You will also be able to access your personal Programs here once you’ve set those up. (See page 15 for
more details).
Finally, touch the “Set” button and you’re done.
NOTE: The preset Programs are preconfigured to run on the time schedule of the lighting fixture. If the time is
incorrect the Program will not function as expected.

Selecting a Preset Program or Mood
After setting the time (this is important), you can easily select from a number of Euroquatics presets that will light
your tank in a variety of ways. A list of preset Programs and Moods can be found in the back of this manual.

Setting the Mood: Quick Change
An aquarium is meant to be enjoyed and shown off. But it never fails that when you have friends over, and you’d
love to show off your aquarium, it's in a different part of the cycle or the lights are out completely.
!
One way to rapidly change the overall look of your tank is to use the "Set the Mood" function. This feature enables
you to quickly change your aquarium lighting to a preset state for a limited time. All you have to do is set the
duration you want it to change, and you’re done.
!
Once you set it, you forget it, because the Angel LED system will return to its normal operating Program state when
the Mood expires. How simple is that?
Section 2 - Euroquatics Remote App Setup
We have a number of preset Moods and you’re able to configure
your own Moods based on what you like and what you want to
show off.
•To select a Mood, enter the Euroquatics Remote app home
screen and touch the “Set Mood” button. (Picture #7)
•On the next screen, select the Mood you’d like to see and set its
duration. (Picture #8)
•To save, touch the “Set” button.
•You’ll then see a timer count down on the home screen appear.
You can cancel the Mood at any time by touching “cancel” or
you can add more time quickly if needed. (Picture #9)

Basic Setup Is Complete
That’s it! The Euroquatics Remote app was designed to be a quick access, easy-to-use tool to interface with your
aquarium lighting. For more advanced options and configuration, use our web-based interface, accessible through a
browser on both the Windows and Mac platforms (see next section.)

Section 3 - Accessing the Web Interface
Included in Angle Premium LED fixtures with the builtin WiFI is the ability to use WPS for one button easy set up.
Keep in mind this requires a WPS enabled router (which most modern routers have).
•Press and hold the WPS button on your home router (as outlined in its manual)
•Next, press and hold the configuration button on your Angel LED fixture.
•NOTE: If you have multiple fixtures in a Euronet configuration, any of the
fixtures can be used to make this link
•NOTE: If you are planning to connect multiple Euronet networks to your
home router, we strongly suggest completing the set up of one network at
a time so that each network with a unique name (Default: Euronet) so
you’ll be able to identify them more easily on your mobile app or PC.
•Once linked with your home network you can use your mobile
directly if it’s on the same network. All instructions are the same
as a direct connection just without the direct linking step.
•To access with your home PC you can use your mobile app to
find the IP address assigned by your home router by going into
the setting screen for that network.
•Type that IP address into your home PC and you will have
access to the full web based interface.!
NOTE: Give the page time to load. If you have issues with
loading, try reloading the page after clearing your browser cache.

•In testing, the embedded website does not work smoothly on a tablet as several different mouse clicks are
used.
•It is not necessary to “logout” of the system but it is an option and can be used for some trouble shooting if
connection stability is an issue.

As with most settings, make sure to click save if you’ve made a change to the Network Name. However, the name
will not take affect on your mobile app until you power cycle* the lighting system. This is the only setting that has
this requirement.
!
"Set time” enables you to set or update the system time.
There is no “Save” required on this setting. (Setting time is
important because your lights run on a time cycle.)
"Devices in Network" reports system information on a per-unit basis. It also allows you to edit a system by
clicking “remove” on non-master devices in the network. Once you click remove, you will need to re-link the
removed device to add it back to the system. (See page 1 for more details.) Once a device is paired with the
system, it will be remembered until you remove it or take all devices in the system back to factory default.

COLOR: The A1 has 5 color channels and the A1p has 7 color channels (with an extra red and green channel).
Both units also have an “Intensity” profile that is just like a color but affects all color channels at once.
!
Time: Each color has a “curve” that is defined by time and intensity. There can be 12 unique points on a curve,
each with its own time and intensity level. (All colors can have their own unique time curves.)
!
Profile: The Profile or lighting curve is the complete combination of time/value points for a single color (displayed as
a curve as seen below), all the profiles are combined to make a Program. Here we have selected the “Blue” Profile
and you can see it has three points on it’s curve.
Section 3 - Using the Web Interface
Understanding the Program Settings
A Program is made up of several parts. While the details may not be overly important to you for basic use, we’ll use
many of these terms in the manual, so we’ll review them now.
