hygger HW011-800W Unbreakable Metal Aquarium Heater User Manual

1. Introduzione

Thank you for choosing the hygger HW011-800W Unbreakable Metal Aquarium Heater. This heater is designed to maintain a stable water temperature in freshwater aquariums, turtle tanks, and ponds ranging from 120 to 180 gallons. It features a digital temperature display, automatic shut-off, a beeping alarm for safety, and smart PID Variable Frequency Drive Technology for energy efficiency.

2. Istruzioni di sicurezza

• Always unplug the heater from the power outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or handling the unit.
• Assicurarsi che il riscaldatore sia completamente sommerso in water before plugging it in. Operating the heater out of water will cause damage and trigger safety features.
• This heater is recommended for freshwater only. Do not use in saltwater environments.
• Il riscaldatore è dotato di un spegnimento automatico feature that activates if the water level dips too low, preventing dry burning. It will resume operation once fully submerged.
• Three overload sensors provide protezione da surriscaldamento. A beeping alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash if the water temperature exceeds 96.8°F (36°C).
• The plastic guard prevents fish or turtles from direct contact with the heating element, reducing the risk of burns.
• Non utilizzare il riscaldatore se il cavo o la spina sono danneggiati.
• Keep the external temperature controller dry; it is not waterproof.

4. Collegamento elettrico: Once the heater is securely mounted and fully submerged, plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Impostazione della temperatura

1. The external controller allows for easy temperature adjustment without getting your hands wet.
2. Press the 'SET' button on the external controller repeatedly to cycle through the available temperature settings. The adjustable temperature range is from 70°F to 94°F (21°C to 34°C) in 1-degree increments.
3. Release the button when your desired temperature is displayed. The heater will automatically begin to adjust the water temperature to the set point.

5.2 Digital Display and Indicator Lights

The heater rod features a digital display that shows the real-time water temperature and current power consumption simultaneously.

• Spia rossa: When the heater is operating at full power to heat the water, the indicator light will be red.
• Spia verde: When the water temperature is within 0.5°F of the set temperature, the heater will switch to low power heating, and the indicator light will turn green.
• Nessuna luce: Once the set temperature is reached, the heater will stop heating, and the indicator light will turn off.

5.3 Smart PID Variable Frequency Drive Technology

This technology allows the heater to automatically adjust its power output based on the difference between the current water temperature and the set temperature. This optimizes energy consumption, providing fast heating when needed and reducing power when maintaining temperature, leading to lower electricity bills.

6. Manutenzione

1. Prima stacca la spina: Always unplug the heater before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Cleaning the Heater Rod: The plastic guard around the heating element can be detached for easy cleaning. Gently slide the guard off the main heater body. Clean any algae or debris from the heating element and the guard using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with aquarium water.

3. Rimontaggio: After cleaning, reattach the plastic guard to the heater rod. Ensure it is securely in place before returning the heater to the aquarium.
4. Ispezione regolare: Periodically check the heater for any signs of wear, damage, or mineral buildup. Replace the unit if any damage is observed.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Heater Not Turning On / No Display:
  - Verificare che il cavo di alimentazione sia collegato saldamente alla presa.
  - Ensure the external controller is properly connected to the heater rod.
  - Verificare che la presa di corrente sia alimentata.
• Beeping Alarm / Flashing Temperature (Over 96.8°F):
  - This indicates the water temperature has exceeded the safe limit. Unplug the heater immediately.
  - Check for external heat sources affecting the tank.
  - Allow the tank to cool naturally or perform a partial water change with cooler water.
  - Re-evaluate the set temperature.
• Beeping Alarm / "EE" Error Code:
  - This typically indicates the heater is not fully submerged or the water level is too low, triggering the dry-burning protection.
  - Ensure the heater is completely underwater. If the water level is low, add more water to the tank.
  - If the error persists after ensuring full submersion, the unit may be faulty.

• Heater Not Reaching Set Temperature:
  - Verify the set temperature is appropriate for your tank size and ambient conditions.
  - Ensure the heater is correctly sized for your aquarium volume (800W for 120-180 gallons).
  - Check for strong water flow directly over the heater, which can sometimes affect temperature readings or heating efficiency.
  - Confirm the heater is fully submerged and clean.
• Discrepanza di temperatura:
  - It is normal for slight variations between the heater's display and an independent thermometer. For critical applications, always verify with a separate, calibrated thermometer.
