1 x instructions and warranty card
For your safety
Carefully read and observe the following important safety information. In
order to avoid an electrical shock.
Position the power supply (PSU) in a suitable place to ensure
that it is not exposed to water (from condensation, high
humidity or falling into water).
We recommend to make "drip loops" in the cable from the
PULZAR to the power supply and from the power supply to
the outlet to prevent dripping water (condensation) from
running along the cable to the power supply and the outlet.
PULZAR LED modules are waterproof according to IP67 (DIN EN
60529). Nevertheless, high humidity and water spray within an
aquarium cover / aquariumhood might get into the sealed light
module. Water vapour inside your PULZAR LED might damage
the electronic.
Make sure, that if you install the PULZAR in an aquarium-hood,
there is a proper ventilation inside the hood. You can either
open the lids of your aquarium hood, installing ventilation
grids instead of lids or using an electrical fan to reduce the high
humidity & water-condensation inside your aquarium canopy.
Clean your PULZAR LED module from time to time, at least
once a week to remove dirt and to avoid dull protection
shields.
Make sure that all cables have no kinks in them and are not
routed over sharp edges (i.e. your aquarium hood or the
glass rim). Make sure that the cables cannot be jammed or
snagged, and cannot come into contact with hot surfaces (>
60 °C / 140 °F).
If you notice that the power cord is damaged, disconnect
the device from mains power supply immediately and
contact GIESEMANN or an authorized GIESEMANN partner.
Never open or repair the power-supply unit and lights by
yourself. Do not make any changes which are not described
in these operating instructions. The operating device
contains live (currentcarrying) parts (with 230 V AC).
A fatal injury can result from an opened device. Repairs may only be made
by authorized GIESEMANN partners service or GIESEMANN itself using
only original spare parts and accessories.
The following accessories are available:
-PULZAR hanging kit - SPHERA aquarium canopy
- PULZAR mounting slider - PULZAR mounting legs

controlling your PULZAR LED Module (optional)
PULZAR LED modules (only HO Versions) are dimmable and are equipped
with an additional data-cord. If you run the PULZAR HO without an external
cotroller device, they work in the 100% mode and can be switched via a plug
in timer. GIESEMANN is offering two different controllers for the light and
colour control of your PULZAR HO module:
Bluetooth Interface (item no. 20.171.035)
The Bluetooth Interface is a radio controlled light-computer that works via
Bluetooth. A Mac or Windows computer or an Android device (Tablet /
Smartphone is required) to control three independent light channels of your
PULZAR LED module.
Computer Interface (item no. 20.171.032)
The Computer Interface ist a device that connects your aquarium computer
with 1-10V output with up to 4 PULZAR HO modules. The functionallity is
depended on the functions your aquarium computer is offering.
.
By using interfaces or dimmers, it may happen, that some LED
doesn’t switch off completely at 0% and they glow with a very light
intensity. This effect can be caused by canister filters with earthed heater
or other earthed electrical devices in your aquarium.

Mounting options
Please make sure, that you intall the PULZAR module always properly. Avoid
the installation nearby any airpumps, airstones, skimmer outlets to prevent
high humidity or water spray next to the PULZAR LED module.
Aquarium mounting legs
By using the PULZAR aquarium mounting legs (item no. 20.120.453), you
can install your PULZAR above your tank by placing the legs on the glass
edge or the rim of your aquarium canopy.
Make sure that the minimum distance between water surface
and the PULZAR module is at least 60 mm (2.5“)
Clean your PULZAR LED module from time to time, at least
once a week to remove dirt and to avoid dull protection
shields.
Make sure your PULZAR is properly mounted and fixed to
avoid falling into the water
Slide in the brackets at each end of the PULZAR module and fix the required
position by tighten the screws.
PULZAR suspension kit
With the suspension kit (Art.Nr. 20.300.013-3) you can suspend the PULZAR
module easily above your tank and using your PULZAR as a pendant light.
Make sure that the minimum distance between water
surface and the PULZAR module is at least 100 mm (4.0“).
Clean your PULZAR LED module from time to time, at least
once a week to remove dirt and to avoid dull protection
shields.
Make sure your PULZAR is properly mounted and fixed to
avoid falling into the water
The steel wire set includes two cables, each with a length of 150 cm,) and
a mounting kit for the ceiling. The wire holder, for easy height adjustment,
is inserted into the longitudinal channel of the PULZAR and can be fixed in
any desired position. The suspension kit allows your lighting system to be
continuously adjustable in height. One pull on the wire and the lighting
system can be elevated easily. At the desired position, the cable
mechanics locks automatically.
PULZAR mounting slider
The mounting sliders contain several mounting options, such that the
module can be mounted under covers, attached to holders or directly on
the glass. With these connectors several PULZAR elements can be
connected in sequence.
Make sure that the minimum distance between water surface
and the PULZAR module is at least 60 mm (2.5“)
Make sure, that the area where you install the LED module is
perfectly ventilated. Avoid high humidity by opening the lids
of your aquarium canopy, installing an electrical fan or
changing the standard hood lids against ventilated grids.
Do not install PULZAR on inflammable materials such as wood
or plastic, and make sure your PULZAR is properly mounted
and fixed to avoid falling into the water
Clean your PULZAR LED module from time to time, at least
once a week to remove dirt and to avoid dull protection
shields.
In the upper part of the PULZAR module, an integrated guidance channel
can be found, into which the two sliding connectors can be inserted
sideways and fixed. This allows the systems to compensate for different
aquarium lengths.
For increased durability of your PULZAR, each PULZAR module is equipped
with a transparent protective acrylic pane with almost loss-free light
transparency. Additionally, this cover is lined with a Neoprene seal, thereby
protecting the LED, as well as the control electronics, from the exterior
environment. The PULZAR light module is thus dust- and water-proof
according to IP67 (based on DIN EN 60529). IP67 doesn’t protect against
water steam and mist, therefor a proper ventilation of your aquarium is very
important to increase the lifetime of your PULZAR LED module.
PULZAR – installation in the SPHERA aquarium-canopy
The PULZAR LED module is especially suited to be used in conjunction with
our SPHERA aquarium canopies. The middle profile of your aquarium cover
serves then as insertion channel and provides additional cooling due to its
large surface. For older STRATOS aquarium hoods, please simply screw the
accompanying mounting sliders to the cover lamella of your aquarium
hood. By the way: The SPHERA middle profile is available individually in
any desired length and can thus be used for many other canopies, hoods
or frames on the market.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INSTALLING THE PULZAR
LED MODULE IN CLOSED AQUARIUM HOODS
A proper ventilation in your aquarium hood is very important to increase
the lifetime of your PULZAR LED module. The module itself is waterproof
according to IP67. Nevertheless, the high temperature of your aquarium
water (for discus aquariums up to 30°C) creates a lot of steam or water
vapour. Even the best insulation and sealing of a light module cannot avoid,
that tiny water molecules penetrate cables, gaskets and the acrylic shield of
the light bar and cause damages of the electronics. A damage caused by
water is not covered by our warranty!
