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.
• Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
• 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.
• The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
• Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Installation and connection
Set-up the unit
Fig. B-C:
• Install the unit flood protected in a horizontal position.
Ensure that the unit is installed with a safety distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• Install the unit above the level of the water, otherwise it will be damaged by water flowing back.
Damage resulting from incorrect installation is not basis for a claim within the framework of the guarantee or warranty.
Connect the unit
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.
Fig. D:
• Keep the air hose as short as possible and lay it well protected.
• Connect the aeration stone to the air hose and position the aeration stone in the pond.
• Attach the free end of the air hose to the air outlet on the unit.
