• Using the keys  or  you can make the selected channel brighter or
darker
• The manual illumination can be completed with 
• After completing, the settings are not retained
2.4 Moon
In this menu it is possible to set in which time period the moon-phase simula-
tion is activated. The moon-phase simulation does not „create" moonlight, but
simply changes the curve programmed under 2 . 1 as moonlight .
• Simulation start  Enter the start time for the moon-phase simulation
• Simulation end  Enter the end time for the moon-phase simulation
The start and end times of the moon-phase simulation must be set such
that they include the time period for the nightly moonlight of the appropriate
channel. If, for example, the channel is programmed such that it lights up from
22:00 to 07:00 (previously set under 2.1, see example 2D), the moon-phase
simulation should also be set from 22:00 to 07:00 .
The moon phases in the LED Control are calculated based on the date such that
the full moon and new moon are always in line with the actual (real) phases of
the moon with a maximum discrepancy of one day.
Please note that the moon-phase simulation must be active in the desired
illumination channels; see 2.1. (Illumination run)
The following will now occur for the active illumination channels within the set
time: The brightness that the illumination channel would have had according to
its programmed curve will be multiplied by the current moon-phase brightness.
This means that during this time frame, the actual brightness will be reduced
corresponding to the natural phase of the moon .
Example In the case of a natural moon brightness on this day of 50% and a
moonlight brightness pre-programmed under 2 . 1 of 20% this will
result in an actual channel brightness of 50% x 20% = 10%
Note When selecting moon-phase simulation OFF the moonlight under
2.1 will mean full moon every night.
Recommen- With Trocal LED freshwater we recommend using only channel 2
dation (colder light colour) and using a light intensity which is close to
nature, i.e. low intensity.
2.5 Time lapse
The time lapse is intended for testing and presentation purposes. Using this
function it is possible to view the set illumination programme in high speed .
There is a manual time lapse function (shown in the top right by „M") and
an automatic time lapse function (shown by „A"). It is possible to switch
between both modes by pressing 
In the manual time lapse mode it is possible to set the point in time and the
LED Control shows the illumination programmed for this time . For this use the
4 cursor keys.
During automatic time lapse, the time to be simulated will be continuously
counted up . It is possible to set the speed of the time lapse . Set the duration in
seconds required for the simulation of 24 hours. For this use the 4 cursor keys.
 stops the time lapse .
2.6 Acclimatisation "Acclimation"
The acclimatisation function offers a simple and convenient option for auto-
matically changing the brightness of the illumination over several days. This is
useful, for instance, when plants are to acclimatise to a new illumination or if
fish/corals are to be inserted for the first time .
Start Date  the acclimatisation begins immediately and continues until the
start date set under Start brightness
Start brightness "Start Light intensity"  all channels will be multiplied with
14
this value at the start of the acclimatisation
End date  the acclimatisation ends on this day
End brightness "End Light intensity"  all channels will be multiplied with this
value at the end of the acclimatisation
During acclimatisation, a dim factor is calculated daily. The individual illumina-
tion curves are converted using this factor .
Example: Start on 01/01/2016 with 50%, end on 03/01/2016 with 100%
The illumination is then immediately operated at 50% of the usually set bright-
ness until 01/01/2016, on the second day with 75% and on the last day 100%.
Tips: • This function is ideal for converting an aquarium with a lighting
tube to LED technology. Depending on difference in output between
the existing and new system, we recommend a „graduated
adjustment" over 4-6 weeks.
• This function enables the convenient illumination of all 4 channels
to be simultaneously reduced by a certain percentage, which can
be very helpful in combating algae.
