Routine Maintenance - TMC Pro Clear Ultima UV30 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTION: Use in the area of the garden pond only if the installation complies with the relevant wiring regulations.
CAUTION: Always disconnect all pond appliances from the mains electricity supply before putting your hands into
the water.
CAUTION: Power must be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA.
IMPORTANT: This unit is designed to be permanently wired to the mains supply using the three core 0.75mm2
Polycloroprene Rubber cable fitted to the unit. This unit must be permanently connected to the mains supply inside a
dry, weatherproof enclosure and through a double pole switched fused spur with a minimum contact gap of 3mm. The
fused spur must only be fitted with a 3 amp fuse. For safety never use a larger rated fuse.
This unit is fitted with 5 metres of power cable. To prevent the unit inadvertently being dropped into the pond, we
strongly recommend that it is securely positioned at least 2 metres from the edge of the pond. Any flexible cabling
used between the unit and the permanent wiring should also be kept to a minimum length. We recommend a
maximum length of 1.5 metres.
• The UV lamp inside the Pro Clear Ultima unit has a usable life of approximately 8000 hours
• As green water is only usually a problem during spring and summer, the lamp only needs to be replaced once a
year in the spring (see below).
• As already mentioned it is essential that the unit is protected from frost during the winter months, or discon-
nected from water and electricity supplies and stored indoors.
• During the spring and summer season, the quartz sleeve, which separates the UV lamp from the water passing
through the unit, will need to be cleaned two or three times (see below). This is essential, as dirt building up on
the quartz sleeve will inhibit the penetration of the ultraviolet light into the water and affect the efficient working
of the unit.
IMPORTANT: The black plastic body and any hosetails supplied with this unit are manufactured from polymers
that have been specifically stabilised, to protect them from the effects of UVC light wavelength emitted from the
lamp. Despite this UV protection the plastic body and hosetails will be eroded by the UVC and the water flow. As
a matter of course they should be inspected whenever a lamp change is carried out, to ensure that they are not
showing excessive wear and tear. Low cost replacements are available from your local aquatic supplier.
