indicate the cycle settings (duration and cycle) are illuminated and
show which cycle parameters are currently used. You can alter the
"cycle" and "duration" settings by simply pressing the buttons on
the dials on the left and right side of the control panel.
• The left dial is to set the "cycle" (in hours) of the unit. Press the
button on the dial until the corresponding LED of your preferred
cycle is illuminated. For example, when the LED "4" is illuminated
the unit will operate every 4 hours.
• The dial on the right sets the "duration" of each operating cycle (in
seconds). Press the button on the dial until the corresponding LED
of your preferred duration is illuminated. For example, when the
LED light "30" is illuminated, the unit will operate for 30 seconds.*
• The Exo Terra Monsoon SOLO should be set according to the
®
needs of the animals and to the size of the terrarium. Be careful not
to operate the unit too frequently or too long to avoid overflowing
the terrarium! The unit should be set so that water added to the
terrarium from the first operating cycle is allowed to evaporate
before the next operating cycle begins, or at least make sure that
the excess water can be drained out of the terrarium.
• After the unit has been set and the cycle button has been pressed
on (blue cycle LED is illuminated), the unit immediately starts it's
first cycle. The next cycle will begin depending on hourly setting
of the first dial. If the unit is switched off, the cycle will start again
after the cycle button has been pressed. In the case of a power
failure, the unit will automatically resume in cycle mode. The first
cycle starts as soon as the power comes back on.
• When the reservoir is empty, it is advisable to refill the reservoir
immediately or to switch off the unit. The pump has a built in
safety cut-off that will switch off the pump (not the unit) when
overheated. When the pump cools down, it will automatically
switch on again. This is a safety feature, and one should not rely on
the thermal cut-off.
Adding additional Nozzles to the system
The Exo Terra Monsoon SOLO can be operated with up to 2 nozzles.
®
Please note that every additional nozzle will result in less performance
from each nozzle installed. To connect additional nozzles, an extra nozzle
(PT2501) and a Y-connector (PT2498) is needed (sold separately). Simply
cut the tubing where convenient. Make sure the nozzle can easily be
mounted in its intended location without stretching the tubing. Connect
the tubing coming from the unit to the single hole of the Y-connector and
the other end of the tubing to the double hole. Connect the tubing from
the additional nozzle to the other hole of the Y-connector. Please note
that additional nozzles can be mounted in multiple terrariums.
Maintenance
It is advisable to place the unit in a dark location or otherwise shielded
from light to prevent the growth of algae in the reservoir. Should algae
form, just wipe the inside of the reservoir with a damp cloth. Do NOT
use detergent or solvents as it might harm your terrarium animals!
Make sure to discard any dirty water or water containing debris or
particles. Only use de-mineralised/distilled water or debris-free and
clean rainwater! Replace the filter regularly, at least every six months
depending on the usage and water quality. If the nozzles are clogged or
if they spray irregularly, place the nozzles overnight in a 50/50 water/
vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before mounting the
nozzles back onto the terrarium. If the problem persists, we recommend
replacing the spray head with one of the two replacement spray heads
