Safety information

OASE has manufactured this unit to the current state of the art and the valid safety regulations. Despite of the above,
hazards for persons and assets can emanate from this unit if it is used in an improper manner or not in accordance
with its intended use, or if the safety instructions are ignored.
For safety reasons, children and young persons under 16 years of age as well as persons who cannot recog-
nise possible danger or who are not familiar with these operating instructions, are not permitted to use the
unit!
The combination of water and electricity can lead to danger to life and limb, if the unit is incorrectly connected or
misused. Do not operate the unit if persons are in the water! Always disconnect the power plugs from all units in the
water and from this unit prior to reaching into the water and starting work on the unit! Compare the electrical values of
the power supply with those on the type plate on the packaging or on the unit itself. Only operate the unit when
plugged into an earthed socket. The latter must have been installed in accordance with the valid national regulations.
Ensure that the protective earth wire is led to the unit. Only use electrical equipment, adapters, extension or connec-
tion cables with an earthed contact which are approved for outside use. The cross section of power connection cables
must not be smaller than the rubber cables identified with H05-RNF. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated residual current of max. 30 mA via a residual current-operating system (FI or
RCD resp.). Keep the power plug and all connection points dry! Protect the connection cable when burying to avoid
damage. Electrical installations at garden ponds must meet the international and national regulations valid for in-
stallers. Do not carry or pull the unit by the connection cable! Never operate the unit if the cable or housing are defec-
tive! Dispose of the entire unit if the cable is damaged, as the latter cannot be replaced individually. Never open the
unit or its component parts, unless this is explicitly mentioned in the operating instructions. Never carry out technical
changes to the unit. Only use spare parts meeting the quoted specifications and original accessories. Only allow OASE
authorised customer service outlets to perform repairs. For your own safety, consult a qualified electrician if you have
questions or encounter problems!
Attention! Dangerous ultra-violet radiation.
The radiation of the UVC lamp, even in small doses, is dangerous for eyes and skin! Never operate the UVC lamp in a
defective housing or outside of the housing.
