A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal noise immedi-ately unplug from the power source. B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair your-self: return the appliance to an authorized service facility for ser-vice or discard the appliance.

DANGER

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be ob-served, including the following:

WARNING

READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

D. To avoid the possibility of the ap-pliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the Figure at the right should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The ”drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the recepta-cle or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water travel along the cord and coming in con-tact with the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacle do get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle. E. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. F. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and etc. G. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect H. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition. I. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

It is important to keep this appliance clean. Always unplug the appliance before performing maintenance or cleaning of the exterior of this pump. Wipe exposed surfaces carefully with a damp terrycloth to remove any dust or mineral deposits which may collect over time.

OPERATION

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

J. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely in-stalled before operating it. K. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance. L. This Appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized out-let only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, re-verse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully in-serted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. M. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to ar-range the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

Thank you for purchasing the most comprehensive HQI Clamp on Lamp in the industry. The K-2 Viper Deluxe incorporates in-tense HQI metal halide light ouput for daytime viewing, along with (2) integrated Nite Vu LED moonlighting for after hours viewing.

The Ultimate HQI Clamp on Lamp

Replicating Mother Nature with Versalitlity

There is nothing more intense or spectacular than the vibrant rays the sun can produce. But, we sure came close to emulating the power of the sun enclosed in a compact design for the next best thing. The K-2 Viper Deluxe is guaranteed to instantly trans-form aquariums with fluorescent lighting into showroom dis-play tanks with rhythmic shimmering throughout the tank and intensified light output for SPS, CLAMS, and LPS corals. The K-2 Viper Deluxe will virtually fit on any size aquarium. Our unique design allows you to angle the light right where you need it most. With 3 separate adjustment knobs you can config-ure the way you deem most fitting for your live inhabitants’ lighting needs. The high velocity fan motor easily cools off the fixture and puts you in control with 2 speed settings that can be set from 105-163 CFM. The Nite Vu LED’s are integrated under the height adjustment arm which adds a beautiful nite-time blue shimmer.

Keeping you Cool in the Sun

All K-2 Viper Deluxe fixtures are equipped with a high velocity fan with 2 speed fan control located and the face of the remote ballast. The fan has a CFM rating of (L)105 – (H)163 to exhaust heat from the fixture and

the aquarium. The switch is labeled “L” and “H” to the corre-sponding flow rates. You can also turn off the fan by leaving the

switch in the middle position. Toggle the switch up for low setting Toggle the switch in the middle for off Toggle the switch down for high setting

Power of the Sun The K-2 Viper Deluxe Clamp on Lamp fixture is the instant solu-tion for hobbyists who demand high intensity power in a com-pact exterior housing. Double Ended HQI metal halide fixtures produce a tremendous amount of light output for demanding corals and cast beautiful sparkling rays on the bottom floor of your substrate. We offer the fixtures in a 150 watt and 250 watt version to adapt to almost any possible aquarium set up imaginable. It is recommended to use 1 fixture for every 2 feet of length of aquarium. The 150 watt version is adequate for aquariums up to 18” in depth, while the 250 watt version is recommended for tanks 18” - 30” in depth.

Hammertone Reflector All models are equipped with our new and improved larger hammertone reflector to cast 98% of the usable light back into

the aquarium. HQI ballast is UL recognized and delivers consistent performance day after day while conveniently stored in your cabinet. New and improved UL recognized lamp socket holders have been installed for se-cure placement of the lamps while mak-ing lamp changes a snap.

Our newest innovation to the K-2 Viper series are our (2) Nite Vu LED moonlights integrated into the cool running portion of the extension arm. These discreetly placed blue LEDs consume less than 1 watt of power, but are still strong enough to illuminate nocturnal be-haviors. Nite Vu LED’s allow you to view all the activities that oc-cur after the HQI (daytime) lamp is turned off without disturbing any of your live inhabitants as they rest. All models include individual power cord for LEDs.

Step 1: Place mounting bracket over aquarium frame and tighten the (2) rear mounting screws Step 2: Tighten the (2) front mounting screws Step 3: Adjust the 3 screws on the arms to your desired angle.

There are 2 cables connected to the bottom base of the fan support.. The thicker cable connects to the large HQI ballast while the thinner cable connects to the small LED ballast.

Caution: Do Not plug into electrical power source before cables have been connected WARNING: Top Head of fixture may get very HOT, do not adjust until you turn the fixture off and allow to cool down.

Understanding Controls on the Ballast

Using on a Timer

Many hobbyist prefer to automate their lighting cycles by plug-ging their lighting systems into timers. You can easily automate the control of the fans and the HQI lighting by plugging the 120V plug from the HQI ballast into an analog timer. The LED transformer may be plugged directly into a 120v wall outlet and does not need to be plugged into a timer. The LEDs consume less than 1 watt of energy. Once plugged into a timer, the fan speed and HQI lamp will turn on/off based on the cycle period of the timer setting. We recommend providing a photoperiod between 6-8 hours of daylight for most coral and invertebrates.

Changing the Lamp

CAUTION: Always unplug before performing any mainte-nance. NEVER use soap, detergents, or any non-recommended clean-ing agents around an aquarium. ALWAYS caution when handling the head of fixture

Metal Halide lamps should be replaced out every 9-12 months to retain its’ natural color rendition and intensity. Old lamps may cause undesir-able nuisance algae and im-pact the health of corals and invertebrates that require the correct lumens and Kelvin for survival. Step 1: Unplug the main power cord from the wall outlet and turn off the switch to the HQI ballast. Allow the fixture to cool for an hour or until the head of the fixture is at a cool temperature. Step 2: Disconnect the cables from the HQI ballast and LED bal-last Step 3: Remove the fixture from the tank and place the fixture upside on the head so that the lamp faces you. Step 4: Unscrew the 4 screw located at the four corners of the light head. Remove the lamp and replace.
