Installation
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
• Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water:
Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into
the water.
• Isolate the unit before starting any work.
• Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.

Oase recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 7.2 psi (0.5 bar).
Cut the stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincides with the hose diameter. This helps avoid
pressure loss.
Ensure that the unit is placed at a flood protected place and on firm ground. Keep a minimum distance from the pond
edge of 6.6 ft (2 m). Ensure unrestricted access to the cover to be able to carry out work on the unit. (A1)
Push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose adapter, secure with the hose clip, then screw the stepped hose adapter
on the water inlet (A2).
Ensure that the drain pipes for the water return (A4) are laid towards the pond with a suitable incline (>1 %). Oase rec-
ommends to return the clean water into the pond via a water course to additionally enrich the water with oxygen.
An optional adapter set is available for the cleaning outlet (A3). For this purpose, remove the cover cap from the clean-
ing outlet. Push the union nut over the hose, slide the stepped hose adapter without thread onto the hose end and se-
cure with the hose clip. Connect the stepped hose adapter with union nut and flat seal to the cleaning outlet. Push the
stepped hose adapter with thread onto the other hose end, secure with the hose clip and screw on the cover cap in-
cluding flat seal. Lay the hose with a suitable incline (>1 %) towards the sewage system or to a flower bed.
Start-up
Attention! Never operate the unit with a water pressure of more than 2.9 psi (0.2 bar)!
Attention! Never operate the unit without water or without a pump filter!
Note!
For safety reasons the UVC lamp can only be switched on when the unit head has been correctly fitted into
the casing.

This is how to connect the power supply:
Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit switches on as soon as the power connection is established.
Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.
Check the correct seating of hoses and cover cap prior to starting up. Never operate the UVC clarifying unit without
water.
Switch on the pump and wait until the filter housing is filled with water. Check all connections for leaks.
Connect the power plug of the UVC clarifying unit, the blue control lamp is lit (B). In the event of overheating, the tem-
perature monitor switches the UVC clarifying unit off automatically, the UCF clarifying unit automatically switches on
again once it has cooled down.
Note: After a new installation, the unit only reaches its full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. The full effect
on bacteria is only reached as from a water temperature of 50 °F (+ 10 °C).
