Congratulations!
Congratulations for buying the UVC-Xtreme external filter. The UVC-
Xtreme 800 and 1200 external filters provide UV-C supported filter per-
formance while saving energy to an extent that could not yet reached
before. The modern low noise low voltage motor can be adjusted to the
desired performance precisely and just as required via the control panel,
and thus extends the application range of these external filters. High
pump performance can already be selected in energy saving mode with
wattages between 5 W – 10 W. This is possible due to a hydrodynami-
cally optimized drive and ideal dimensioning.
The filters include an integrated UV-C unit that is switchable via the
control panel. This is operated with a specially doped and particularly
powerful amalgam lamp, and ensures even higher reduction of pathogens
and floating algae compared to common UV-C lamps. This indirectly
supports the health of the fish in a merely physical manner, while the
density of many algae stadiums is reduced at the same time.
An electric suction pump allows for comfortably drawing water into the
filter, which furthermore also provides a permanent de-aeration function.
The filter media baskets are optimized considering flow rate and volume,
and provide numerous applications with various filter media.
This combination makes the filters of the Xtreme series very service
friendly and allows for long service intervals. The valves are rotatable by
360°. They make placing the filter very flexible and make it easy to place
and handle them. The filter includes a complete connection kit consist-
ing of intake and outlet tubes, hoses and attachment material. The 24 V
ballast powers the filter via an easily accessible plug connection at the
side of the filter head.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. WARNING: Dangerous ultraviolet radiation!
a. To prevent eye damage, never look directly into the UV-C lamp
without protection when it is operating (eye damage!) The UV-C
lamp provides a protective switch-off against looking into it
accidentally. The protective mechanisms must not be deacti -
vated.
b. Use only original sera amalgam replacement lamps for the UV-C
unit.
2. Make sure that voltage and frequency of the mains supply matches
the data on the type plate before connecting the ballast to the mains
supply. Position the ballast above the UVC-Xtreme external filter, and
use exclusively the ballast provided by sera.
3. The UVC-Xtreme external filter must be placed safely and dry below
the water surface level. Placing it more than 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) below the
water surface level is not permitted.
4. Usage is permitted only indoors.
5. Check plug and socket for water being present before putting into
operation. Never touch the plug or the socket before switching off
the circuit in case of a wet plug or a wet socket. Protect the power
plug against moisture and dripping water.
6. Never pull the power plug out of the socket by the cable.
7. Never operate without or without sufficient water flow.
8. Especially before working in the aquarium (water) or at the UVC-
Xtreme external filter, disconnect it and all other electrical appliances
from the mains supply.
9. The UVC-Xtreme external filter may only be operated completely
assembled.
10. Operation is permitted only for the described application pur pose.
11. The water temperature must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
12. Damage of the motor, the cable or the plug must not be repaired!
In this case the filter must immediately be disconnected from mains
supply, and must not be operated any more. This also applies in case
of intended alterations of these parts. This kind of damage must not
be repaired or mended. In case of damage or leakage at the filter
canister, at the seals, or in the parts that contain water, the filter must
immediately been taken apart and repaired.
13. The circuit to which the UVC-Xtreme external filter is connected must
be protected with a fault current protection switch (RCD 30 mA).
14. Always carry the filter by supporting the bottom. Never lift it by the
filter head, its external parts or its hose connections.
15. Operate the ballast only in a dry environment. Install ballasts pro-
tected against splash water.
16. Operate the filter only in upright position. Do not lay down or tilt.
17. Do not expose the appliance to damage by frost.
18. Product contains magnetic and electromagnetic components that
may affect or damage magnetic fields. People wearing cardiac pace-
makers should keep the required safety distance according to the
cardiac pacemaker manuals.
19. When doing maintenance at the rotor, be careful about the crushing
hazard due to magnetic forces.
20. The pump head must only be opened by staff qualified for mainte-
nance work!
Warning!
1. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
2. The appliance can be used by children above 8 years as well as
by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and
have understood the dangers arising thereof. Children must not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children unless they are above 8 years old
and under supervision. Keep the appliance and its cables out of
the reach of children below 8 years of age.
3. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
Disposal of the unit:
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) must not get into
domestic waste!
If ever the unit cannot be used anymore, the consumer is legally obliged
to hand in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) sepa-
rately from domestic waste, e.g. at a collection point of his community/
his district. This ensures that waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE) is expertly processed and that negative effects to the environ-
ment are avoided.
Therefore electrical and electronic
equipment bears the following symbol:
