t
emperature. During normal operation, when water temperature is within -1/+1 °C or
t
2/+2 °F of the set temperature, the backlight of the LCD screen is green. If water

quarium placement in proximity to cooling sources, may require a higher wattage for
a
proper control. The volumes indicated are approximate values corresponding to water
temperatures up to 26°C/78°F with a room temperature of 20°C/68°F. If the ambient
temperature is higher than the set temperature of at least 1°C/2°F, or external sources of
heatelevatethe aquariumtemperaturemore than 1°C/2°F,the LCDdisplaywillremain red
untill conditions change.
THERMAL SENSOR
The temperature sensing technology as precise as an external probe!
The internal Thermal Sensor samples the actual water temperature directly through the
glass of the heater tube rather than the air temperature within the tube, as is the case with
standard bi-metallic strip thermostats. Since the Thermal Sensor actually reads the true
water temperature, it is more accurate and reliable than conventional bi-metallic heaters.
RELIABLEAND PRECISEELECTRONICCOMPONENTS
Advanced Electronic Circuitry, no moving parts to wear out!
Since the FLUVAL E heater has no bi-metallic points, there are no moving parts to arc,
corrode or wear. The thermostatic control of the heater is separated from the water
thermalsensor,different fromconventional bi-metallic heaters,wherethe sensoris directly
built into the thermostat. It is therefore less affected by extraneous factors.
INSTALLATION
It’s recommended to fill the aquarium with water that is close to the desired
temperature you are trying to achieve.
To ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water and to provide an accurate
temperature readings, the heater must be placed in close proximity to a source of water
movement. Specifically, it should be placed at the rear of the aquarium, close to a filter or
pumps water output.Water

loss due to evaporation.
1. Position the heater in the aquarium and press suction cups firmly against glass, to
adhere to the aquarium wall. If rear glass mounting is not possible, use the side glass

is unobstructed, and where thereis a free flow of waterto ensureevenheat dispersion.
Ensure that the heater is positionedso that the aquarium waterlevelis never below the
MIN indicator foundon the guard of the heater.If necessary,you can simply adjust the
heater height by sliding it along the bracket, by squeezing the two release arms on the
sideof the heater guard.Be sure there are no rocks, decorationsor gravel obstructions
touching the heater to create unevenheat.
2. Allow heater to acclimatize in the aquarium water temperature for 20 minutes before
plugging it into the electrical outlet. Be sure to arrange a drip loop for the heater cord
and any otherelectrical item that is placed in or on the aquarium.
3. After 20 minutes, plug in the heater and set the degree scale if necessary (refer to the

4. At eachPower-on, the E Heatergoesthroughan initialself test procedure duringwhich
it carries out a self-diagnosis to checkinternal circuitryand sensors operation,followed
by a period to verify the surrounding conditions. The self-diagnostic check requires
several minutes to complete, during which time the E heating element is switched on
for a few seconds only to verify the heater operation and application conditions. After
the self-diagnosis is completed, the E Heater starts its standard operation. During the
self-diagnostic test, the LCD screen will display the watertemperature.
WARNING:

temperature and therefore can no longer control the heating correctly. If it has to be taken

HOW TO SET °C OR °F DEGREESCALE
The heateris factory set on the °C degree scale for 50 Hz markets and °F degree scale for
60 Hz markets. In case you need to change the degree scale, hold the set lever in the full

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Unplug all appliances in the aquarium
before carrying out maintenance. Unplug the
heater and allow it to cool for at the least 30
minutes before taking it out of the water.
Clean the heater guard and the glass tube regularly to
remove encrustation and deposits that could impair the
heating performance and the sensitivity of the
thermostat.
1. Remove the heater from the suction cups bracket by
squeezing the two release arms on the side of the
heater guard and separating it from the bracket (ill. I).
2. In order to reach the internal glass tube, remove the
heater guard as explained in the paragraph “REMOVE
THE HEATER GUARD FROM THE UNIT” below.
3. Clean the heater glass tube regularly to remove depositsthat could impair the heater
performance. Deposits on heater can be removed by soaking the heater tube in
vinegar, then rinsing with fresh water before repositioning in aquarium.
4. Clean the heater guard under a stream of water, assuring that all openings are free
from dirt and debris. If required use a soft cleaning brush.
HOW TO REMOVE THE HEATER GUARD FROM THE UNIT
Once the heater has been removed from the aquarium and suction cup bracket, you
can remove the heater guard and have access to the internal glass tube. Using a
flathead screwdriver, slightly lift the secure lock tab at the back of the heater cap to
free and remove the heater guard, as shown in the pictures below.
