Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Red Sea’s ReefLED®.

Years of development are behind Red Sea’s ReefLED Wi-Fi lights

which have been are designed to ensure optimal coral growth and

maximum rendition of their vibrant colors.

At the heart of the unit is a compact LED array that provides a

reef-safe range of REEF-SPEC® light through a single REEF-SPEC®

Blue (23,000 Kelvin) channel and an 9,000 Kelvin white channel.

In addition, it has a separate dedicated moonlight channel to

provide low levels of light for reef-safe nighttime viewing. The

compact LED array is under an optical glass, hollow lens that

creates homogeneous light, giving dramatic coral coloration and a

gentle shimmer throughout the aquarium.

ReefLED can only be operated by Red Sea’s ReefBeat® app

which must be installed on a smart mobile device with internet

connectivity. ReefBeat provides a wide range of easy-to-use

functions including notifications if there is a loss of communication

with your ReefLED- such as in the case of power failure.

ReefBeat® is under constant development and over time will

include additional connected devices as well as additional aquarium

management tools.

Welcome to Red Sea’s smart reef-keeping.

Sincerely,

The Red Sea Team

Safety

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT LEDS REGARDLESS OF INTENSITY.

THIS DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

CAUTION: When switched on, contact with the LED lens may cause

burns. Allow to cool before touching, adjusting or servicing.

DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken

when handling a wet aquarium. For each of the following

situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance

to an authorized service facility for service or discard the

appliance.

WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be

observed, including the following:

Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is

malfunctioning, or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

To avoid the possibility of the appliance, plug or receptacle getting wet,

position the aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted

receptacle to prevent water from

dripping onto the receptacle or

plug. You should create a "drip

loop" (see Figure 1) for each cord

connecting an aquarium appliance

to a receptacle. The "drip loop"

is that part of the cord below

the level of the receptacle, or

the connector. Use an extension cord, if necessary, to prevent water

traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle. If

the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect

the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then

unplug the device and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.

Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before

putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord

itself to remove the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to

disconnect.

Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer may cause unsafe conditions.

Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the

weather or to temperatures below freezing point.

Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before

operating it.

Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

Note: A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating

may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that

it cannot be tripped over or pulled accidentally.

Introduction to the ReefBeat app

All of Red Sea’s connected devices must be operated via the ReefBeat

app installed on an Android or iOS smart mobile device (SMD) with an

internet connection. See the full list of supported mobile phones/tablets

on our website.

Through your personal user account on the cloud, ReefBeat enables

you to set up and manage any number of aquariums and add multiple

devices to each of them. By default, all devices of the same type (such

as ReefLED) will be grouped together and, where appropriate, identical

settings will be applied to all devices in the group. Any device can be

ungrouped at any time and have full functionality as an independent

unit.

For full functionality, each ReefLED must have a permanent connection

to the internet through your home Wi-Fi network. In this mode of

operation, you will be able to see the current status of your ReefLEDs,

change the settings or receive notications on your SMD whenever you

have access to the internet.

The ReefBeat homepage will show you the current status of all of your

connected devices, and links you directly to the Settings Dashboard for

each group or for individual units.

You can install the ReefBeat on multiple SMDs by entering the same user

account details. All SMDs will have the same rights for operating and

changing all of the settings. You should keep this in mind before giving

your user details to any 3rd party.

In the event that you do not have a home network or your home network

does not have an active internet connection, you can connect and control

your ReefLEDs in Ofine or Direct Mode. However, certain functionality such

as remote access, multiple SMDs or status notications will not be available.

ReefBeat is constantly under development. For the most up to date

operation instructions, view or download the latest user guide from the

Red Sea website at www.redseash.com

If this is your rst Red Sea connected device, it is recommended that you

complete the physical installation of your ReefLED units before installing

the ReefBeat app.

Installation

Mount the ReefLED above the aquarium as shown in the assembly

instructions of the mounting system you purchased. Make sure that no

part of the ReefLED gets wet, especially the DC jack.

In the event that you are not using a Red Sea mounting system, please

ensure the following:

• The ReefLED must be fastened securely so that it cannot accidentally be

dislodged from its mounting.

• The top surface and sides must have unrestricted airflow for correct

heat dissipation.

• Ambient temperature should be maintained below 25°C / 77°F.

• The distance between bottom surface of the ReefLED and water surface

should be as follows:

Connection and initial setup

Installing ReefBeat

Download ReefBeat from the app Store or Google Play as appropriate for

your SMD. (In countries without access to Google Play an APK file and

installation instructions can be downloaded from Red Sea’s website.)

After installing ReefBeat, you will be guided through the set-up of your

ReefBeat user account and aquariums, and then you can start adding

your Red Sea connected devices. All of your user account details can be

edited only when your SMD is connected to the internet.

For full functionality Red Sea’s connected devices should be connected to

the internet and your aquariums should be set to “Online”. In the event

that you do not have an available Wi-Fi network at your Aquarium, set

it as “Offline”. You can change this setting later when WI-Fi becomes

available.

Make sure that you select the correct world time zone for where your

aquarium is located. The default is the same time zone as your SMD

which might be set for a different location.

If you’ve set up more than one aquarium, select the aquarium from the

dropdown menu at the top of the screen before proceeding.

Adding your first ReefLED to ReefBeat

Set your ReefLED to AP mode by pressing the settings button for 5

seconds (until double blink). The indicator LED should be blinking.

Tap the Add Device button ( ) from the Device Manager page, select

the ReefLED icon and follow the instructions on the app. If you are asked

to enter the device serial number, it can be found on the back of the

ReefLED unit. If not, the unique serial number of the ReefLED should

ENG

Note: If you are planning on using multiple ReefLEDs or other Red Sea

connected devices, it is recommended to connect them all to a Wi-Fi

network even if the network is not connected to the Internet and will

be operated in “Offline Mode”. (See Connectivity Modes)

Initial settings

The unique serial number of each ReefLED is the default name for the

device in the app. However, you can set a new name that you prefer such

as “Left LED”, “Right LED” etc. These names can be changed at any time

using the “Rename” function from the Device Manager.

For the first ReefLED you connect to your aquarium, you are asked to

choose between 3 REEF-SPEC® Blue / White settings that are equivalent

to various color temperatures. You must then set the Sunrise time for

Red Sea’s default preset Day program (D-Program) which is 11-hours of

daylight, 3 hours of moonlight and 10 hours of complete darkness. The

preset includes 1-hour of gradual sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset.

The default programs are set with the sunrise at 8:00am. Selecting a

different sunrise during the initial setup will create a new D-Program

which will be saved in your personal Program Library.

ReefBeat will now display the ReefLED Dashboard and your ReefLED will

implement the intensity for each channel according to the current time of

day. If you are installing the ReefLED outside of the day/moon light period

(i.e., during the complete darkness period), the light will not switch on and

the settings screen will show zero for all 3 channels. All of the settings on

the Dashboard are now editable. To go to the ReefBeat homepage without

editing, press the back arrow twice.

Adding additional ReefLED units

To connect an additional unit, open the Device Manager page from the

Dashboard 3-dot menu and repeat the process as above. Make sure that

you connect all the units for one aquarium to the same home network.

If you have connected the ReefLED to your home network, all additional

units connected to this aquarium will automatically be “Grouped” together

and will operate as a single luminaire. Individual units can be “Ungrouped”

(see Device Manager) if you wish to operate them as independent units.

Note: Different models of ReefLED units cannot be in the same group.

If you are connected in Direct Mode, all additional units will be

“Ungrouped” by default and must be set up individually.

ReefBeat Homepage

The ReefBeat homepage will show you the current status of all of your

connected devices, and links you directly to the settings Dashboard for

each group, or for individual units.

D-Programs

The details of a D-Program are presented as a graph that shows the

intensity of each channel for a 24-hour period starting at Sunrise. Tapping

on the points for each channel opens up a settings flag that shows the time

and intensity of the point. Channels are selected from the channel menu

on the right side of the page. The page can zoom and pan as required for

greater detail.

The currently active D-Program is shown on the ReefLED Dashboard. Tapping

on it will open the graph in view/edit mode. All other D-Programs are

accessed through the Program Library which is available from the 3-dot

menu or the Schedule page.

ReefLED Dashboard - Settings

ReefLED is designed to operate automatically according to a 24-hour

D-Program that defines the intensity of the REEF-SPEC Blue and White

channels during the day, and the moon channel at night. In addition, the

D-Program can include random cloud activity (periodic reduction in light

intensity) for a specified period of the day.

All of the settings for the ReefLED are viewed/edited from the Dashboard

which shows the current settings for the group or for an individual ungrouped

unit. Tapping on any of the sections on the dashboard opens the settings

page for that feature. Remember to press Apply or Save to implement any

changes you make to the settings.

Tapping on the Page menu provides quick access to additional functions such

as Manual Control of the unit, Program Library and the Device Manager.

Program library

Any number of D-Programs can be created in the Program Library

for each aquarium and copied for use on other aquariums. From the

Program library, D-Programs can be created, edited, deleted (except

for the Red Sea defaults), previewed or selected to be applied directly

as the current D-Program.

Schedule

The Schedule enables you to implement the same D-Program

for every day of the week or to select a different D-Program for

each day of the week. The default setting is “Daily.” Opening the

drop-down menu enables you to select any of the D-Programs

that are already saved in your Program Library. If you wish to have

a different program for different days of the week, choose the

“Weekly” option and select a D-Program for each day of the week.

The Schedule page includes a direct link to the Program Library so

that you can easily view, edit or create new D-Programs.

Editing

Each channel has start and finish points on the Zero intensity line

(which cannot be deleted) and can have a maximum of 10 points

in between.

The Sunrise point is shared by both the REEF-SPEC Blue and White

channels. Changing the time of the Sunrise shifts the entire

D-Program (daylight and moonlight) as a block along the time line.

Moving the Moonrise point shifts the moon channel settings as-is

along the time line.

Move

To move a point, select the channel, tap the point, tap the settings

flag and edit the intensity/time settings as required. NOTE: The

Sunrise and Moonrise points can be moved by pressing and sliding

the point on the graph.

Add

To add a point to a channel, select the channel, press the “+” (add

point) button and edit the details in the settings flag.

Delete

To delete a point, select the channel, tap the point, tap the settings

flag and press delete. Points without a delete icon in the settings

flag cannot be deleted.

Clouds

To set/edit the clouds, select “clouds” from the channel menu. Choose the

desired intensity of random clouds:

No clouds

low intensity (dims the light randomly by up to 15% of the set

value every 10 minutes for a period of 3 minutes)

medium intensity (dims the light randomly by up to 30% of the

set value every 10 minutes for a period of 4 minutes)

high intensity (dims the light randomly by up to 45% of the set

value every 10 minutes for a period of 6 minutes)

Drag the start and end times for the cloud activity as desired between the

sunrise and sunset of the daylight period.

Preview

At any time during editing, pressing the Preview button will send a

preview of the D-Program to the ReefLEDs. The preview will show the effect

of the 24-hour program in about 1 minute starting at sunrise and includes

the period of darkness. After the preview, the ReefLEDs will return to their

scheduled D-Program.

Create

New D-Programs are created by editing an existing one from your Program

Library and saving it with a new name. The default Red Sea D-programs can

only be saved with a new name. Custom D-Programs can either be saved

with new settings after editing, or with a new name while preserving its

original settings. Remember to save or save-as when you have finished

editing as unsaved changes will be lost.

Staggered Sunrise

The staggered sunrise feature allows you to create an enhanced

sunrise/sunset effect along the length of an aquarium for ReefLEDs

that are grouped together. Set a “delay time” of a few minutes and

the current D-Program will be implemented on each ReefLED in turn,

after the delay time you specify.

The delay will be implemented according to the order that the

ReefLEDs appear in the Device Manager.

By default, the ReefLEDs are ordered according to the order in which

they were added to the aquarium.

• A new ReefLED will always be added at the bottom of the list.

However, the order of ReefLEDs can be changed at any time using the

“Move” function: Device Manager > Device Line menu > Move.

Using the Move function, you can easily change the staggered sunrise

from starting on the right side of the aquarium to starting on the left.

The “Identify” function will make the individual ReefLED blink a few

times so that you can easily identify each ReefLED when setting their

order for the staggered sunrise effect:

• Device Manager > Device Line menu > Identify.

ReefLED - Additional Effects

Acclimation

Acclimation allows corals to get used to the ReefLED lights by starting

at a lower intensity and gradually increasing the intensity every day

over the acclimation period.

For systems that have not had LED lighting in the past, we recommend

starting at 50% of the intensity set in the D-Program and allowing 50

days to reach the full program intensity. When replacing other LED

lights, a shorter period may be possible. However, in such cases we

recommend you check your corals daily for signs of stress as there are

differences between LED lighting systems.

When setting the acclimation period, the reduced intensity settings will

be represented on the D-program graph by a dashed line for the REEF-

SPEC Blue and White channels. This will also be shown in the same

format on the Dashboard.

The acclimation period will be implemented automatically on all

D-Programs that are part of your schedule.

Lunar Cycle

Activating the Lunar Cycle implements a 28-day moon phase cycle

based on the settings for the moon channel in the D-Program. This is

instead of having the same moon-light effect every day. Editing the

Lunar Cycle setting enables you to make the full moon on a particular

day of the week, when you know you will be home to enjoy it.

When setting the Lunar Cycle, the reduced intensity settings will be

represented on the D-program graph by a dashed line for the Moon

channel. This will also be shown in the same format on the Dashboard.

The Lunar Cycle will be implemented automatically on all D-Programs

that are part of your schedule.

for Notifications and Firmware updates, which cannot be done offline.

When your SMD is not connected to the same network, no current data

about the device will be shown in the ReefBeat homepage. You can

change the settings from Offline to Online from “My Aquariums” in the

homepage main menu.

Offline Direct mode – Limited functionality

If your ReefLED is not connected to a network, you will need to

connect to its access point directly from your SMD every time you

wish to access it. When connected to the ReefLED in Direct mode, you

will not have any functionality that relates to groups of devices such

as Staggered Sunrise. Copies of the same D-Program can be used for

multiple ungrouped units. However, this and all other settings will

have to be implemented one unit at a time.

When your SMD is not connected to the ReefLED, no current

data about the device will be shown in the ReefBeat homepage.

Notifications and firmware updates are not available for offline units.

When operating in direct mode, you can decide if you want to leave

the ReefLED AP active all the time or turn it on/off with the Settings

button for access as needed.

• At any point in time you can connect a Direct mode unit to a Home

Network: Device Manager > Device Line menu > About > Connect.

Connectivity Modes

For full functionality Red Sea’s connected devices must be permanently

connected to the Internet and the aquarium set as “Online”.

In the event that you do not have an available Wi-Fi network or your

network does not have a permanent internet connection set your aquarium

as “Offline”. You can change this setting later if Internet availability status

changes. Note that your SMD must be online for this change to be registered

on the ReefBeat cloud.

In both Online and Offline modes, the ReefLEDs will provide exactly the same

performance. The differences are related to the interaction with the units, ease

of set up and making changes- specifically when multiple ReefLEDs or other

Red Sea connected devices are in use on the same aquarium.

Online (Internet) mode – full functionality

With a permanent connection to the internet, your ReefLED will have

full functionality and all ReefBeat cloud related services. This includes

real time status of your ReefLEDs in the ReefBeat homepage and

notifications if communication with one or more units has been lost or

is malfunctioning.

Offline Local Network mode – partial functionality

ReefLEDs are connected to a home network without a permanent

internet connection, and aquarium is set as Offline.

In Offline mode, your SMD will need to be connected to the same

network as your Red Sea connected devices to communicate with them.

When connected to the same network, you will see the real time status

on the homepage and have full functionality for grouped devices except

Red Sea ReefLED®

Operation

The ReefLED will run automatically according to the set schedule of

D-Programs.

Grouped ReefLEDs all work together as a single luminaire and is the

preferred mode of operation.

To enjoy all of the functionality that the ReefBeat system has to offer, the

ReefLEDs should be connected to the internet at all times.

With an active internet connection, the ReefBeat homepage will show all

of the current settings of the ReefLED group or for each ungrouped unit

individually.

Manual Operation

To temporarily override the automatic schedule, tap "Manual mode" from

the 3-dot menu of the Dashboard.

Manual mode provides direct control of all 3 channels and overrides the

current D-program while the manual page is open. Leaving the manual

page automatically returns the ReefLEDs to the schedule.

To maintain a manual setting for a period of up to one hour, set the

manual “Run Time” to the desired time. The ReefLEDs will automatically

return to the current D-Program when the Run Time expires.

Device Manager

The Device Manager is accessible from the Page menu in both the

ReefBeat homepage and the ReefLED Dashboard, and contains a list of all

of the Red Sea connected devices that are installed on each aquarium. The

devices are listed according to type and in the order in which they were

added to the aquarium. Tapping the 3-dot menu for each device opens a

list of advanced settings/functions for each ReefLED individually.

Group / Ungroup status

The grouped/ungrouped status of each ReefLED is shown in the Device

Manager.

Multiple ReefLED units that are connected to the same home network

can either be operated together as a group or as individual units. The first

ReefLED connected to the home network will automatically belong to

the LED group for that aquarium. Subsequent units will be added to the

group and receive the same settings. An individual LED can be ungrouped

or re-grouped at any time. When a unit is ungrouped, it will maintain the

same settings it had when it was grouped until changes are made. Once

added to a group, the previously ungrouped LED will automatically get the

settings of the group.

To change the status: Device Manager > Device Line menu > Group/Ungroup

For all ReefLEDs: Device manager > Group line menu > Turn OFF / ON.

Firmware Updates

From time to time you may receive a notification that a new firmware

version is available for your ReefLED. It is important to keep your ReefLED

firmware updated to ensure compatibility with updates to the ReefBeat

app.

If your ReefLED is not permanently connected to the internet, you will need

to connect it temporarily in order to update the firmware.

To update all ReefLEDs simultaneously: Device manager > Group line menu >

Firmware Update.

Individual ReefLEDs can be updated: Device manager > Device line menu >

Firmware Update.

Do not unplug the ReefLED while it is downloading and installing the new

software.

Device Manager > Device Line menu > About – will show the currently installed

firmware version.

When the firmware update is complete, the “About” page will show the

new version as the current version together with the date and time that the

update was performed.

All of your previous settings will remain as before.

If the firmware update is not successful, the ReefLED will automatically

revert to the previous version. Repeat the process a few minutes later.

If your ReefLED does not seem to be performing correctly after the update,

disconnect and reconnect the power by the DC jack and wait for the

ReefLED to restart.

Tilt switch – (Not available on ReefLED 50 & 90 models)

Enabling the Tilt switch will automatically switch off the light when the

unit is tilted from the horizontal position such as when raising a unit

attached to the standard mounting arm.

The ReefLED is supplied with the Tilt switch disabled. To enable the Tilt

switch: Device manager > Device line menu > Tilt Enable.

Removing a ReefLED - Temporary

When switching off or physically removing a ReefLED temporarily such as

when doing reef-scaping or other maintenance on the aquarium, set the

unit to “Out-of-service” through the Device Manager to prevent ReefBeat

from giving you notifications that communication with the unit has been

lost. When returning the unit and/or switching it back on, remember to

return its status to “In-service”. To change the status: Device Manager >

Device Line menu > In-service / Out-of-service.

Removing a ReefLED - Permanent

When permanently removing a ReefLED from an aquarium or before

resetting the unit’s memory, delete the unit from the ReefBeat app:

Device Manager > Device Line menu > Delete.

Deleting before it is switched off will prevent unnecessary notifications

that communication with the unit has been lost.

Red Sea ReefLED®

18

Overtemperature protection

The ReefLED is designed with active cooling to ensure the longevity of the

LED array.

Fan speed will vary according to the light intensity. At very low intensity

levels such as with moonlight the fan is not required. At full LED intensity

and with an ambient temperature of about 25°C/ 77°F the fan will run at

about 85% capacity. In high ambient temperature environments, the fan

speed will increase to 100% to maintain the correct working temperature

for the LED array.

If the ambient temperature is too high or airflow to the unit is restricted

the unit will automatically dim the intensity of the LEDs or shut it down

completely to prevent damage to the unit. In the event of shutdown due

to overtemperature you will need to disconnect and reconnect the power

by the DC jack to restart. Check the unit and surroundings for the cause of

the overtemperature situation.

Notifications

When the ReefLED has a permanent connection to the internet, a

notification will be sent to your SMD whenever connection to the unit is

lost.

A “No communication” message could be due to a power or internet

outage, router failure or a fault with a specific connected device.

If you have more than one Red Sea connected device and connection

to one or more (but not all) devices are lost, you will receive a “Partial

communication” message. You will then be able to see the current status

Rebooting a ReefLED

In some cases, such as when the ReefLED disconnects from the ReefBeat

Cloud, it will be necessary to restart the device. This can be done in 2

ways.

Click the Reboot button from the device manager: Device Manager >

Device Line menu > Reboot.

Alternately, you can disconnect and reconnect the power by the DC jack

and wait for the ReefLED to reboot.

Clear ReefLED settings

To permanently remove all user settings from the memory of the

ReefLED and return it to its initial default state, perform the following

steps.

If the ReefLED is connected to ReefBeat the factory reset can be

activated from the App: Device Manager > Device Line menu > Hard Reset.

If the ReefLED is not connected to ReefBeat perform the following steps:

Permanently remove (Delete) the specific ReefLED from ReefBeat.

Press the Settings button for about 15 seconds (until the indicator LED

shows a double blink), release the button and wait for about 5 seconds

until a second double blink of the indicator LED appears.

Disconnect and reconnect the power by the DC jack and wait for the

ReefLED to restart.

The unit will restart without any user settings and with the Wi-Fi

switched off, exactly as shipped from the factory. The unit will retain the

latest installed version of the firmware.

Maintenance

For continued smooth running of the ReefLED, we recommended making

sure that it is clean, dry and free of any buildup of salt deposits on a

regular basis.

Before doing any maintenance, disconnect the unit, allow the lens to cool

down and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.

Remove the top cover and wipe it ,as well as the heat sink and fan with a

damp cloth.

If the lens becomes contaminated with water, dust, or other particles,

clean with isopropyl alcohol.

The unit is not waterproof. Do not submerge in water or other solutions.

Apart from the cooling fan, there are no user serviceable parts inside the

unit.

Fan replacement

In the event that the fan makes an unusual mechanical noise or stops

working, try removing dust or salt deposits by cleaning as described

above. If this does not help, the fan will need to be replaced. Disassemble

and reassemble the fan as shown. Care should be taken not to touch the

surface of the LED array.

Battery replacement

The ReefLED has a back-up battery to maintain power when the unit is

disconnected from the power supply. This battery will need to be replaced

once every few years. To replace the battery, open the unit as shown.

Replace with a 3V Lithium cell Battery CR1220.

After reassembling the unit and switching it on, the internal time may

need to be reset.

Device Manager > Device Line menu > About.

Online devices will have the time updated automatically when Internet

connection is restored. Offline devices will need to have the time reset

manually. Tapping on the row will open a time setting window which will

show the current time on your SMD. Press "Set" or change the time as

needed.

Troubleshooting

A full and up to date FAQ for the ReefLED and the ReefBeat app is

available in the app (Homepage Main Menu > Help > FAQ) and on our

website.

Q. I am having trouble installing the ReefBeat app or it crashes or

does not seem to be working as described in the manual.

A. Check that your specific smart mobile device is on the list of supported

devices on our website.

Q. My smart mobile device is on the list of supported devices but

keeps crashing.

A. Uninstall and reinstall the app and sign in again with your username

and password. If this does not help, contact customer support.

Q. I've plugged in a new unit and the light is not coming on.

A. The ReefLED will only work after it has been connected to the ReefBeat

app.

Q. I'm having difficulty connecting the ReefLED to my home network.

A. Check that the ReefLED Wi-Fi is working correctly by using the “Offline

Direct Mode” option. If it does, try connecting to the hot-spot of a

mobile phone in the same room: Device Manager > Device Line menu >

About > Connect.

If neither of these options work, contact customer support. If they

do work, the problem is likely with the router signal strength or its

configuration, or it may be overloaded with devices.

• Check that the signal strength of your router is sufficient for a stable

connection exactly where the ReefLED is located. You may need to

install a suitable Wi-Fi extender closer to the aquarium.

• The router may have too many devices already connected to it.

• Your router may be configured not to allow devices like the ReefLED

to be connected. This situation is common in an office environment-

contact your IT professional.

Q. I keep getting notifications that my ReefLEDs are not connected.

A. If your network router is not permanently connected to the internet, set

your Aquarium as “Offline” My Aquariums > Device Line Menu > Offline. If

your network router is meant to be permanently connected, check the

quality of the Wi-Fi connection between the units and your router or the

stability of your internet connection.

Q. There is a small difference between the LED intensities shown on

the ReefBeat homepage and the current intensities shown on the

ReefLED Dashboard.

A. The homepage updates once per minute with the actual values as

reported by the unit. The Dashboard shows the calculated values according

to the D-program and effects. A discrepancy of a few percent between

the two readings is normal, especially during periods where the values are

constantly changing such as during sunrise and sunset.

Q. Sometimes there is a constantly varying difference between the

LED intensities shown on the ReefBeat homepage and the current

intensities shown on the ReefLED Dashboard.

A. You are likely seeing the effect of the random clouds. The homepage

updates once per minute with the actual values as reported by the

unit. The Dashboard page shows the calculated values according to the

D-program. However, it does not take into account the effect of the

random clouds which are implemented on each ReefLED individually. If

you cancel the clouds, the differences should disappear.
