OPERATING
EN
This UV-C device keeps your pond clear and your fish healthy. Using a pump, the pond
water is conducted through the UV-C device where it is exposed to the UV-C radiation.
This radiation is produced by a special lamp and it ensures that bacteria and disease
germs do not have a chance to develop. Also free swimming algae are destroyed by
the radiation guaranteeing that your pond water is clear. To achieve optimum results,
normally keep the unit switched on 24 hours a day except during periods of frosty
weather.
Multimax ALU: the interior parts of this Multimax model are made of aluminium.
Because the aluminium reflects 40 to 60% of the UV-C radiation, the UV effect will be as
much as 40 to 60% higher. The Multimax ALU is suitable for freshwater applications.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Warning - Due to the risk of injury, this product is not suitable for use by children or
persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or instructed on
the use of the device by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Warning - Risk of electric shock. If in doubt as to whether you have sufficient
knowledge and experience, this device must always be connected by a certified
electrician, according to the locally applicable standards and laws, with a properly
earthed connection protected by a residual-current device.
3. Warning - To reduce the risk of electric shock, a damaged cable should be
replaced immediately if possible (Read also number 16).
4. Warning - To reduce the risk of electric shock, the use of an extension lead is not
recommended. Connect the device to an easily accessible mains outlet.
5. Do not bury the connection lead. Never share connections and/or connection
leads with lawn mowers, hedge trimmers or other equipment.
6. Never install the unit at a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
7. Keep children away from this device and the electrical lead.
8. During and after commissioning, the unit is operating and filled with water.
Therefore, to reduce the risk of electric shock, be careful during repairs and/or
service work. If you lack the necessary knowledge and experience, repair and/or
service activities should be performed by authorized/accredited technicians.
9. Never touch the appliance if it falls into the water! Disconnect the connection lead
first, before removing the unit from the water. Because electrical components are
damaged by water and therefore become unsafe, the device must be submitted to
authorized/accredited technicians for repair/maintenance.
10. The device must not be switched on if it has been damaged during or as a result of
transport, a fall, a production defect or other cause (particularly the quartz glass
sleeve and the UV-C bulb).
11. Always connect the device to an undamaged, earthed mains outlet with hinged
cover.
12. Always remove the plug from the outlet when the device is not in use and/or
during cleaning and maintenance activities. The plug must be removed from the
mains outlet by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the lead to remove the
plug from the outlet.
13. The UV-C lamp must be switched off temporarily if chemicals and/or medications
are (manually) added to the water. Chemicals added (manually), such as chlorine
and acid, must be poured directly into the water in dissolved form.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug must not be inserted into or removed
from the mains outlet with wet hands and/or while you are standing in the water.
15. The device should never be immersed, in whole or in part, in water or any other
liquid.
16. The connection lead of the appliance may not be shortened and/or connected
directly without a plug. If the lead becomes damaged, the entire device must be
submitted to authorized/accredited technicians. Devices with cut-off/shortened
cables are excluded from warranty coverage.
17. After the device is switched off the bulb will remain warm for ten minutes.
18. Use of the equipment for any purpose other than that for which it was designed or
developed is not permitted. Use of the equipment for a purpose other than that
for which it was developed by the manufacturer may lead to unsafe situations.
19. If there is a seasonal risk of freezing of the device, or parts thereof, appropriate
measures must be taken to prevent freezing damage. Damage caused by freezing
is always excluded from warranty coverage.
20. Devices with a stainless steel or aluminium housing are not suitable for water with
a high salt content. If the salt content is too high, the steel can oxidize and damage
the housing.
21. The unit should never be placed downstream of a heat exchanger or other heating
source. If the bulb is not cooled by the water sufficiently, it may be damaged.
22. This device may only be used in accordance with the guidelines described in this
manual. You must also adhere to the instructions provided on the device.
23. Unintended use of the device or damage to the housing can lead to the escape
of harmful UV-C radiation. Exposure to UV-C radiation, even in small doses, cause
damage to the eyes and skin.
24. If you intend to use of the device in combination with chemicals and/or
medications, always consult the manual(s) for this/these product(s). Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions. When using medicines, the device must be
disconnected.
