Reef Brite X Dual Series User manual

X Series Dual Instructions
Important: Read all instructions very carefully before installing your X Series Dual
XHO ADD-ON KIT. Reef Brite will not be responsible for any damages that may
result from improperly mounted or installed X Series kits.
The X Series will add some weight to your light system so it is especially important to
ensure your tank or mounting configuration can safely carry and distribute the additional
weight of your X Series system.
If unsure about the mounting and or attachment of the X Series system, we recommend
contacting a licensed professional to avoid serious personal injury or property damage.
If you have any questions before or during the installation of your X Series system,
please contact [e-mail] and one of our customer service representatives will
be glad to assist you.
For faster service please provide your phone number and a good time to call. Thank
you.
Getting started: Make sure your fixture(s) are unplugged from the electrical outlet
and completely removed from the aquarium before attempting to install the X
Series Dual system.
If your fixture was in use even for just a short period let cool. LED’s can get hot
during operation and can cause personal injury or damage surfaces if proper care
in handling is not taken.
Once cool, place fixture on a secure table or work surface.

Installation instructions: Install the included light brackets (Figure 1) according to the
directions listed below for your specific fixture using the included hardware. For Kessil
360 series use one light bracket per 360. For Radion, Hydra, AP9X and AP700 use two
light brackets per fixture.
Figure 1 Light Bracket

Kessil 360x: Locate the threaded hole on the top center of the 360x. Using one of the
included Black M5 x .8mm thread x 8mm long pan head screws provided, mount the
bracket to the 360x. See picture below. It is highly recommended to carefully thread the
screw by hand to ensure that the screw is not cross threaded and avoid over tightening.
DO NOT use the M5 x .8mm thread x 12mm long screws for the 360x as damage
to the 360x can occur.

the Black M5 x .8mm thread x 12mm long screws provided placing one of the
included Black Nylon spacers between the light bracket and your 360 to avoid
obstructing the fan circulation. It is highly recommended to carefully thread the screw
by hand to ensure that the screw is not cross threaded and avoid over tightening.
The Black Nylon spacers can be found attached to the M5 x 25mm flat head screws
used for the AI Hydra units.

unit. Using the two Silver M5 x .8mm thread x 25mm long screws with Black nylon
washers installed, mount two of the included light brackets to your Hydra unit. DO NOT

highly recommended to carefully thread the screws by hand to ensure that the screws
are not cross threaded and avoid over tightening.

Once the light brackets are installed, slide the included XHO fixtures through the
brackets and mount the two included endplates to the XHO’s using the M4 screws
located on the ends of the XHO’s.
Install the hanger attachment to the endplates by loosening the screw on the hanger
attachment and sliding it over the hole located at the top center of each end plate.
