Correct electrical installation
• Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.
• For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
• The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
• Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
• Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
• Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the identifi-
cation H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
• Protect the plug connections from moisture.
• Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.
Safe operation
• Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
• Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
• Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.
• Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
• Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
• Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
• Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
• Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Important! The unit is equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnetic field may affect the function of pace-
makers.
Installation (A)
Cut the stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincides with the hose diameter. This helps to avoid
pressure loss.
At the filter pump, push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose connection, secure with hose clips and screw onto the
filter pump connection thread.
Installation
Place the unit in the pond horizontally on firm, sludge-free ground and ensure that it is completely covered with water
at a maximum of 2 m / 4 m below the surface of the water.
Start-up
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
• Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
• Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
Attention! Sensitive electrical components.
Possible consequence: The unit will be destroyed.
Protective measure: Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
Switching on: Connect power plug to the socket. The unit switches on immediately when the power connection is
established.
