Inside the Box
RADION LED LIGHTING SYSTEM
Three control buttons, Raise, Cycle and Lower make the Radion simple to use.
See pages 4 and 8 for more information.
MOUNTING EYELETS
Mounting eyelets enable easy and versatile mounting of the Radion light to best suit your needs. EcoTech Marine also
provides other mounting solutions (sold separately) that can be combined to group and hang multiple Radions easily.
See page 2 for more information.
USB CABLE
Out of the box, your Radion will operate in Basic Mode only. When connected to a PC or Mac via USB or using a
ReefLink, and then logged into EcoSmart Live online, your Radion can use one of the many preprogrammed lighting
modes - or you can create your own custom modes.
See page 5 for more information.

Installing Your Radion
TM
1. MOUNTING THE POWER SUPPLY (OPTIONAL)
XR15/XR30: Locate power supply where it will not be exposed to any
water or moisture.
XR30 Only: Mount power supply using mounting holes.
(Mounting hardware for power supply is not included)
Mount your power supply where it won’t get wet. Include a “drip loop” -
a tied loop of cord hanging down below the level of the electrical outlet.
That way, if water happens to run down the cord from the tank, it will
drip off onto the floor rather than into the outlet.
2. HANGING THE RADION
The higher you hang your Radion over the water, the wider the light spread - but the lower the light intensity. Wider and/or
deeper tanks may require hanging more than one Radion in order to provide sufficient light coverage. To hang your Radion:
1. Attach the four eyelet screws (included) to the corner mounting points of the Radion.
2. Attach hanging wire (not included) to the eyelets.
3. Secure the wire to the ceiling or other mount.
Use an 18-gauge stainless-steel wire, which has a 25-pound (11.3 kilo) working load.
EcoTech Marine also sells additional mounting hardware.
Visit ecotechmarine.com/parts-store for more information and to purchase.

3. ESTIMATING LIGHT COVERAGE
Individual lighting needs will vary depending on your tank
inhabitants. Here is a rough guide to get you started:

SPS tanks
As a rule of thumb, one XR30 provides coverage for 30x30
inches to a depth of 36 inches when hung 9 inches above the
water. A deeper or wider tank may require additional Radion lights
or Wide Angle accessory. One XR15 provides adequate coverage for
up to 24x24 inches.
LPS or sh-only tanks
May require less light than SPS tanks.
Additional Guidelines
If the USB port on your Radion will be difficult to reach after
hanging, consider leaving a USB cord plugged into the light
and accessible.
Ensure the Radion is securely fastened and will not fall or get wet.
Mounting the Radion XR30 less than 9 inches or XR15 less than
8 inches above the water may expose the fixture to excessive
moisture or contact with water.
Water damage is not covered under warranty.
The Radion has an internal fan to disperse heat. For
optimum performance, do not operate the Radion in a
completely enclosed hood.

Basic Mode
Setting Up a Radion with ReefLink*
Your Radion operates in Basic Mode out of the box. In Basic
mode, the Radion will remain on unless manually powered off.
Current settings will remain even after powering off.
In Basic Mode, be sure to use an outlet timer (not included) to
schedule the light to turn on and off at the appropriate times.
See page 8 for an explanation of EcoSmart Live
button controls.

1. If you already have a ReefLink and EcoSmart Live account, simply power on your Radion and add the new light
through EcoSmart Live.
2. If you just purchased a ReefLink and Radion light(s), set up the ReefLink first. After the ReefLink setup is complete
run the New Aquarium setup wizard through EcoSmart Live to set up your new lights (Settings > Aquarium Setup).
If you do not have a ReefLink, proceed with EcoSmart Live setup via USB on page 6.
Refer to the ReefLink quick start guide and the support section of our website for more information
regarding the operation of your ReefLink.
*XR15FW (Fresh Water) fixtures require an optional RF module to connect to ReefLink. RF Modules are
available at www.ecotechmarine.com
