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. 
POWER SUPPLY
The sleek design of the Radion power supply compliments the beauty of the Radion model you have purchased.
See page 2 for more information.

Installing Your RadionTM
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. Drip Loops
2. HANGING THE RADION
(XR30)
(XR15)
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:

*Useful coverage will depend on your aquarium size and setup.
*XR30 Light spread based on included Standard TIR lenses - additional spread may be obtained using the Wide Angle accessory.
*XR15w Pro comes with Wide Angle TIR pre installed and optional Standard TIR in box.
XR15
8 inches (20.3 cm)
or greater above the water
XR30
9 inches (22.9 cm)
or greater above the water
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 fish-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.

Setting Up a Radion with ReefLink*
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 5 available at www.ecotechmarine.com
