designed to work best when
ambient light levels are low. If the
Opti-V is installed in brightly lit
areas, the strong reections may
diminish the aquarium scene.
Depending on your specic
application, installation of the unit
at a height appropriate for the
viewers enjoyment is important. It
is recommended that the following
guidelines be used for locating the
unit, when creating a custom case.
!
NOTE: Measurements are to
the bottom of the viewing area.
For standing applications:
Maximum - 51 in. (129.5 cm)
Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)
For sitting applications:
Maximum - 36 in. (91.4 cm)
Minimum - 26 in. (66.0 cm)
Stand Installation
The Opti-V is supplied in an
assembled state and is designed
to be permanently installed. The
unit comes ready for installation.
WARNING: Do not attempt
to wire your own new outlets or
circuits. To reduce the risk of re,
electric shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed electrician.
