Frequently Asked Questions - RCA 100 EDEN

How to calibrate the RCA 100 heater?

Use a screwdriver or the supplied tool to turn the calibration regulator. If the measured temperature is too high, turn towards - (minus); if too low, turn towards + (plus). Each notch corresponds to approximately 1 °C, within a range of ±3 °C.

What heating power is recommended for my aquarium?

The recommended power depends on the water volume and the difference between the desired temperature and the minimum ambient temperature. Refer to the recommended power table in the manual.

How to install the heater in the aquarium?

Immerse the heater at least up to the minimum depth mark. Attach the suction cups on a smooth and clean surface, in an area with good water circulation, with the heating element directed towards the bottom.

What to do if the water does not heat?

First check the mains voltage. If it is present, the device may be defective and must be replaced. Also consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.

How to clean the heater?

Clean it with clear water and a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use cleaning products or chemical solutions.

Can I use this heater in saltwater?

Yes, the RCA 100 model is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater.

What is the minimum immersion depth?

The heater must be immersed at least up to the minimum depth mark indicated on the device. It can be fully immersed.

How to know if the heater is working?

An indicator light in the glass envelope lights up when the heater is operating. It turns off when the set temperature is reached.

What to do in case of malfunction?

First consult the troubleshooting section. If the problem persists (e.g., damaged cable), the device must be discarded and replaced. Contact the authorized after-sales service or EDEN.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to an appropriate collection point. Cut the cable to render it unusable. Check with your local waste disposal company.

Electrical connection

• Only connect the unit if the electrical data of the unit and the power supply match.
• Only plug the unit into a correctly installed outlet.
• The device is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• Protect open plugs and sockets from moisture.

Safe operation

• Disconnect all electrical devices in the water from the power supply before reaching into the water. Otherwise there is a risk of severe injuries or death by electrocution.
• Do not use the unit, if electrical lines or the housing are damaged.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be scrapped.
• Never pull on electric cables. In particular, never carry units on their cables.
• Route lines in such a way that they are protected from damage and do not present a tripping hazard.
• Do not use the unit together with chemicals, food, flammable, explosive substances or other liquids aside from water.
• This unit can be used by children aged 3 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the unit in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the unit. Only allow children to carry out cleaning and user maintenance under supervision.
• Never carry out technical changes to the unit.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories.
• Should problems occur, please contact the authorised customer service or EDEN.

Intended use

Only use the product described in this manual as follows:

• As a thermostat controlled aquarium heater.
• Indoors and for private aquarium-keeping purposes.
• While adhering to the technical specifications. (→ Technical data)

Symbols on the unit

IPX8

The unit is protected against the results of permanent immersion in water to a depth of 0.8 m.

Protection class II. The unit is securely disconnected from the power supply by a reinforced or double insulation.

Only use the unit in indoor spaces

Do not dispose of the unit with normal household waste.

Read the operating instructions.

Installation and connection

The desired water temperature can only be achieved if the heating capacity of the heater is suitable for the volume of water in the aquarium and is positioned in an area with good water circulation. (→ Recommended heating power)

• Ensure that the unit is immersed in water at least up to the minimum immersion depth marking.
• The unit can be completely immersed in water.
• Turn the temperature controller to the desired temperature value.
• Insert the supplied suction cups into the holder by twisting.

- Pay attention to the alignment of the tabs (they should point upwards or to the side).

• Clamp the holder to the unit.
• Position the unit with the heating element pointing towards the floor of the filled aquarium on a clean, smooth surface in an area with good water circulation.

HUP0005

CAUTION

Risk of burns from hot surface.

▶ Only switch on the heater when the bulb is submerged in water.
▶ Turn the heater off and let it cool down before removing it from the water.

• Wait approx. 30 minutes before switching on so that the thermostat can adjust to the temperature of the water.
• Route the power connection cable such that it forms a drip loop!

Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit switches on immediately.

Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.

HUP0002

Checking the temperature values

i The heater switches on and off automatically in order to maintain the set temperature.

• A light in the glass bulb indicates that the heater is functioning.
• The light and heater are switched off when the set temperature is reached.

How to proceed:

• When the unit has been operating for about one day, check the water temperature with a precision thermometer.
• The measured temperature is lower than the set temperature: Check the water flow around the unit and, if necessary, move the unit to a different position where the water circulation is not obstructed by e.g. plants
• Measure the temperature again after some time.
• The temperature difference is still too great: Calibrate the unit. (→ Calibrating the unit)
• The measured temperature is higher than the set temperature: Calibrate the unit. ( → Calibrating the unit)

Calibrating the unit

• Calibration range: It is possible to calibrate the unit by plus 3°C and minus 3°C .
• The calibration controller protrudes out of the different-coloured temperature controller. There are 3 fixed positions in the plus and minus range. Each position corresponds to approx. 1 degree centigrade.
• Do not attempt to go outside the calibration range.

How to proceed:

• Use a screwdriver for the calibration or break the supplied tool out of the holder.
• Measured temperature is too high: Keep the temperature controller at the set value and move the calibration controller in the direction of - (minus).
• Measured temperature is too low: Keep the temperature controller at the set value and move the calibration controller in the direction of + (plus).
