1.1 Initial start
Set your local ate an time in the Date/time settings fiel s.
Select your lamp mo el in the Software initialization fiel an confirm your selection clicking Save Settings button.
Week-Tweek
Very often it happens that at the weeken we have the ability (an willingness) longer sit watching our aquarium .. However, it also
often happens that in the late evening, when social life in our house is just beginning, the light in the aquarium "fa es" an the only
view we can enjoy the moonlight. To enable the "extension" - or "offset" the time of the lamp at the weeken for a few hours ahea - it
was written-Tweak Week program. How oes it work?
Let's take an example: "stan ar " we have set the lamp on the east si e at 10 am an the west (the start time of sunset) at 18:00.
Time of sunrise / sunset set to 2 hours. So - at 20.00 en s in " ay". If you want to watch the Satur ay an Sun ay, not expan e our
aquarium of light - is set for those ays Time Shift for example, (-3).
This means that for a tube that, in those ays, the time is "with rawn" for 3 hours. So - if you've east began at 10 - so now the light
"thinks" that it is 7 am an the actual east starts at 13:00 (real time) an sunset at 21:00 an runs until 23:00 …
Next so the " ay" lasts the same - but "slightly" later it starte .. Mon ay everything is back to "normal" - an we have the
opportunity to enjoy a weeken in our aquarium simply "more" ...
Light Intensity in Manual Override mode – here you can check an select the intensity of light your lamp will emit while operating in
the Manual Overri e mo e.
Acclimatization program
Specifically implemente acclimatization program - use to acclimate corals to LED lighting. Base on user- efine existing lighting
computer automatically selects the initial power output an color of light from the lamp, an the interval, which is change every ay
Pacific Sun Hyperion S/Triton S lamps – manua

lamp power, allowing corals in a gra ual get use to new sources of light (as amen e by the spectrum of light) an to its intensity.
The computer controls the power an change the color of light in the range from 15 to almost 90 ays (range automatic - epen ing
on the acclimation). This option eliminates the situation of "overexposure" aquarium an coral bleaching, which is a very common
symptom in the transition from other type of lighting(t5/hqi) to LEDs . At the en of the acclimation program automatically switches
off an the lamp goes to the mo e previously set, such as Basic Mo e or Par Table.
1.2 Daylight settings
Here you can configue basic settings for your lamp.
Sunrise start time – the beginning of sunrise simulation
Sunset start time – the beginning of sunset simulation
Duration – uration of sunrise/sunset
Max. lamp power – maximum power (between the en of sunrise simulation an the beginning of sunset simulation)
Smooth light transitions – efines how fast changes occur in the color of light in the performance of in ivi ual lines PAR table.
Enabling this option will result in a smooth transition between colors without su en jumps.
T5 lighting - This option is available only for lamps with T5 lighting(Pan ora Hyperion R2) . You can select the T5 lighting switch on/off
time

1. Colour settings
A setting powers of each channel can attempt to recreate such as the spectrum of light emitte by fluorescent T5 favorite sets.
Probe colour – loa actual lamp settings
Set colour – save spectrum settings to lamp memory

1.4 PAR table
Advanced simulation of day light.
With Linear PAR simulation option switche on – your lamp will gra ually switch from Basic light settings to more a vance
simulations selecte in the PAR table(without short flash between mo e changing).
First, set the hours of sunset/sunrise in Daylight tab.
A justing the in ivi ual parameters in PAR table, you can influence the intensity an colour of light for multiple time-perio s.
For example:
Select the uration of sunrise from 10.00 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. in the first row of the PAR table. Next, a just the intensity of selecte
light colours e.g. White 6%, Blue 1 10%, Orange 75% etc.
Click Update Row buton an the table settings will be up ate (selecte Row)
Next, select subsequent time-perio in the secon row of the PAR table, e.g. from 10.30 to 11.45 an a just light intensity for this
perio e.g. White 10%, Blue 10% an click Up ate to save your settings.
This feature allows you to a just colour temperature in various time-perio s – you can simulate „warm” sunrise (a justing only White
colour an a ing some re s/orange) an „col ” sunset (a justing Blue colour with violet).
Table PAR is quite powerful tool to create your own lighting programs: you have the ability to set in epen ent power for each channel
at ifferent times of the ay (an night). In a ition, you can generate a graph showing changes in light intensity for each channel
uring the ay. To set the color of light in a "live" - use "Colour Stu io Live", by which we you able to "live" watch how it will look like a
light in each time interval an mo ify them as nee e an recognition. An then you can up ate the recor in a table. This soun s
quite complicate - but really - in fact within a few minutes you will be able to o this is automatically. Especially that the application
itself fills the necessary fiel s in the table as the start time for the next "recor " in the table, etc.

1.5 Moonlight settings
To set night light an moonlight simulation.
Basic settings
Moonlight intensity % - to set moonlight intensity (with maximum intensity for full moon)
Date of the last full moon – to set the ate of the last full moon. The preset ate is 2011-09-12( ate of the actual full moon)
Moon cycle simulation – to swich on/off moonlight simulation
With moonlight simulation switche off – you will get constant, invariable intensity selecte via Moonlight intensity option.
With moonlight simulation switch on – light intensity will be gra ually changing following the natural moon cycle (Current moon phase
isplays the current moon phase simulate by the lamp).
Moonlight channel colour settings – customer can choose which LED channel will be use to moonlight simulation.
Moonlight time - – there can be set time for moonlight sunrise an sunset.
