Before using this Maxspect™ RSX LED Lighting System please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the safety suggestions listed below. Afterwards keep this manual handy for future reference.

Before using the Maxspect™ RSX LED Lighting System

Remove any plastic bags and packaging material protecting the fixture.
Never look directly at the LED bulbs when you switch on the system. Incorrect use of this apparatus will increase eye hazard.

On Safety

Power Source – Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Power Cord Protection – The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

Installation – Install indoor only, and use the attachments, mounting frames, hanging kit and accessories provided and specified by the manufacturer.

On Operation

Operation – Always follow the operation instructions outlined in this manual when using this Maxspect™ RSX LED Lighting System.

Heat – The apparatus should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, and do not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Moisture – To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing.
Ventilation – The apparatus should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

Magnetism – The apparatus should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetism.
Cleaning – Clean only with dry cloth.

Operating Instructions

Built-in Controller
The RSX can be controlled directly with the built-in controller. The built-in controller integrated in the RSX features an OLED monitor and a control dial, from which user can setup all the functions for the fixture.

Standard or Master/Slave Mode
Supporse there are 2 or more units of RSX fixtures, the user can connect them through the Master/Slave mode to control them simultaneously – all Slave fixtures will follow the settings programmed on the Master fixture, saving time and effort on setting up multiple fixtures.

Control with iOS or Android Devices (Optional)
The RSX can also be wirelessly connected to an ICV6 controller (sold separately), which allows the fixtures to be controlled by iOS or Android devices through the Syna-G System.

Basic Operations

Follow the instructions below to operate and program the RSX LED fixture.
The RSX turns on automatically when power is connected, and turns off when power is cut.
When power is resumed, the RSX will restore to the previously saved setting automatically, whether it was last set at Manual or Automatic Mode, and the intensity level of all the LED channels.

The fan on the RSX fixture is temperature-controlled.

The RSX has a built-in temperature control system. The fan will be automatically engaged when the temperature is above 55°C/131°F, and disengage when it is below 45°C/113°F.
If the fan fails, the system may overheat and the system will enter fail-safe mode when the temperature is above 80°C/176°F, turning off all channels. The system will exit fail-safe mode and resume normal operation when the temperature drops below 70°C/158°F.

Switching between Auto and Manual Mode
The RSX has two modes of operation: Auto and Manual Mode. Users can switch between the two modes with the control dial on the fixture.

Press and hold the control dial for 3 seconds to switch to another mode.

Manual Mode

Press the control dial to enter the setting.
Press the control dial again to switch between the channels.

Rotate the control dial to set the brightness for each LED channel.
Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Automatic Mode

Press the control dial to enter the setting.
Rotate the control dial to switch between the settings.
Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Within Automatic Mode, there are 3 settings for the user to select:

System Clock: A clock set to be matched with users’ local time.
Program: Program the photoperiod to set specific brightness for each LED channel during different times of the day.

Preset: 4 preset settings are available for the user to choose from. (Refer to p.16)
- P1: SPS dominated tank.
- P2: SPS/LPS mixed tank.
- P3: Soft Coral/LPS mixed tank.
- P4: SPS-dominated tank with a different dawn/dusk time with moonlight.

Setting the clock

Press the control dial to enter the setting page and then select “System Clock” Clock”.

Press the control dial to switch between hour and minute.
Rotate the control dial to set the time.
Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting and exit the page.

Understanding Time Points

There are a total of 24 Time Points. You can program different luminous output intensities at each Time Point to control the photoperiod and brightness of the system.

Take Preset P1 as an example, it is a setting for SPS dominated tank. The photoperiod starts at 08:00 where the system increases s light gradually, peak s at 10:00 and lasts 10 hours to 20:00 before the system gradually decreases s light until it is turned off at 22:00 , with moon light turns on.

	TP01	TP02	TP03	TP04	TP05	TP06	TP07	TP08
	08:00	09:00	10:00	20:00	20:30	21:00	21:30	22:00
Channel A	0%	40%	90%	90%	70%	50%	25%	0%
Channel B	0%	20%	70%	70%	30%	15%	10%	0%
Channel C	1%	20%	70%	70%	30%	15%	10%	1%
Channel D	0%	20%	90%	90%	30%	15%	10%	0%

The following diagram illustrates how the 4 LED channels would behave once the above Time Points have been programmed.

Test Mode

This function allows the user to put the fixture in the test mode, which would help our customer service representative to diagnose the fixture. This should only be done by the users when told by an authorized dealer or customer representative to perform certain test on th e fixture.

Model Number
This function will display the model number of the fixture, which also double serves as the ID name when the RSX is connected to an iOS or Android device through the Syna G system. Under normal circumstances, this value should not be changed.

Standard or Master/Slave Mode

This function allows the user to choose between the Standard stand-alone operation mode, or Master/Slave mode where multiple units of RSX fixtures can be connected.
Once connected, all Slave fixtures will follow the settings programmed on the Master fixture, saving time and effort on setting up multiple fixtures.
The default value is Standard meaning the fixture is running in stand-alone operation mode.
When an RSX is set as a Master Unit, it will need to assign a channel from 01 to 10. All connecting Slave Units must be also assigned to the same channel.
In cases where multiple groups of Master/Slave coexist in proximity, each Master Unit must assign a different channel to avoid interference with another group.
- Rotate the control dial to select “Standard”.
- Press the control dial to enter the settings page.
- Rotate the control dial to assign it as a “Master” or “Slave”
- After selecting the Master/Slave unit, press the control dial to assign a channel.
- Press and hold the control dial for 3s to save the setting.

Exit
Press “Exit” to restart the fixture.

Maintenance of the fixture
User must periodically perform maintenance on the fixture, including but not limited to the following steps:

Using a damp cloth to clean the acrylic lens to make sure it’s not covered by salt creep or other dirt and debris. An uncleaned lens will severely affect the luminous output of the fixture, so for best performance, you should clean the lens once a week.
Clean the dust and debris trapped in the fan units. Regularly and properly cleaned fans will last much longer than those that aren’t. Fan units are wear and tear parts and must be replaced every 24 36 months depending on the frequency of maintenance performed on them.
Clean / remove any salt creep or dirt and debris that had been built or collected on the aluminum body of the fixture, as they may affect the dissipation of heat from the fixture.

Note: Failure to perform the above-mentioned maintenance on the fixture may cause unnecessary damage to your fixture and may void your warranty!
