Prior to installation and every start of the device read the present operating and
assembly manual carefully.
Upon launching, maintenance and other work in the water tank, disconnect all
electric devices located in the tank from the power grid by pulling the plugs from
the supply sockets.
The device produces radiation harmful to the skin and eyes. Never turn on the
device with the housing removed!
The device may be powered only from a power grid of nominal parameters (vol-
tage and frequency) specified on the device housing from a supply socket loca-
ted in a dry place.
In case of damage disconnect from power supply immediately. The device with
a damaged power cord or quartz glass cover may not be operated further. It is
not allowed to repair or replace the power supply cord!
The device may be used only indoors and installed only in aquariums or aqu-
arium filters.
This device can be operated by children who are at least eight years of age, by
persons with reduced physical or mental capabilities or persons with no prior
experience with the device only under supervision or following aninstruction on
the safe operation of the device to ensure that the person is aware of any asso-
ciated risks. The device is not a child's toy! Do not let children to clean or perform
maintenance on the device without supervision.
The device employs a UV-C lamp. Accidental use of the device or damage to its
housing may lead to the release of hazardous UV-C radiation. The UV radiation
emitted by the bulb employed in the sterilizer is harmful to human eyes and skin
even in small amounts. Do not use the device outside of its housing, nor stare
directly at the UV-C bulb when in operation! The bulb should not be used with
power sources other than specified by the device manufacturer. Before opening
the device, read the manual. Always disconnect the device from the mains befo-
re replacing the UV-C bulb.
PREPARATION FOR LAUNCHING AND INSTALLATION
I. INSTALL THE FLUORESCENT LAMP
Prior to launching the sterilizer insert the fluorescent lamp, proceeding accor-
ding to the following:
1. turn the fitting grip (10) clockwise, according to the „OUT" arrow (fig.),
2. remove the fitting (10),
3. press the fluorescent lamp (8) into the fitting (10) until locked,
NOTE: Do not touch the fluorescent lamp glass; remove possible marks with a dry
cloth
4. place the fitting (10) along with the fitted fluorescent lamp (8) in the quartz housing
(7) (otherwise the fluorescent lamp will not work).
II. CONNECT THE STERILIZER TO THE WATER CIRCUIT
NOTE: Water flowing through the sterilizer should be mechanically filtered (by the
preliminary filter).
The sterilizer can only be operated outside of the aquarium. Do not immerse the
device in water. The transparent stub pipes allow for connection of hoses of various
diameters. Examples of connection of the sterilizer are shown on figures , , .
Additionally, some AQUAEL pumps and aquarium filters are adapted for direct con-
nection or even installation of the sterilizer lamp in the filter housing.
NOTE: For the purpose of problem-free deaeration, the UV sterilizer should be po-
sitioned slightly inclined, so that the outlet opening is the highest point of the sterilizer.
