SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read and observe
• WARNING:
Dangerous ultraviolet radiation!
• Never look directly into the UV-C lamp without pro-
tection when it is operating (eye damage!).
• The sera UV-C lamp may be operated only in com-
pletely assembled condition (please refer to directions
for use for information about readiness to use). Every
other use may lead to very severe skin and eye dam-
age!
• The casing of the lamp must not be opened or dam-
aged.
• Always keep UV units and UV-C lamps out of the reach
of children!
• The unit must not be operated at temperatures above
35°C (95°F) or in case of frost.
• Never operate the UV-C system and the pump with-
out water flow!
• T oo frequent "ON/OFF" switching reduces the life ex-
pectancy of the UV-C lamp. The unit should be oper-
ated permanently for 24 h/d as to achieve best pos-
sible results.
• All electrical units located in the water must be dis-
connected from the mains/power supply before con-
ducting work at the aquarium.
• M ake sure that the voltage of the mains supply com-
plies with the data on the type plate.
• Bend the mains cord into a drip loop as to prevent wa-
ter running along the cable into the socket.
• Operate all units only with an inserted fault current
protection switch (RCD or FI with a trip current of
30 mA).
• E nsure plug and outlet is accessible to reach at all
times.
• The transformer and the ballast must be protected
against water.
• The unit must not be operated in case the electrical
cords are damaged.
The sera bioa tive IF 4 UV internal filter and its
components may only be used for the described oper-
ational purpose.
Thank you for choosing the new sera bioactive IF 400
+ UV internal filter.
This novel internal filter combines the advantages of a
filter with large filter volume for the powerful bio filtration
located inside the aquarium with a simultaneous UV-C
treatment of the filtered aquarium water. UV-C is hard
radiation that has a partially sterilizing effect on the
aquarium water and reduces pathogenic pressure in
the aquarium. Parasites and their larvae are also removed
from the aquarium water entirely without using chemi-
cals.
by all means!
The sera bioa tive IF 4 UV internal filter has an in-
ternal modular design and includes 6 filter baskets (5.1)
that can be equipped individually. Also, it can be individ-
ually adjusted to the desired function (fast flow filter, spe-
cial filter, ... – 5.3, 5.4) with a few turns. The performance
of the included sera filter and eed pump F 75 can be
adjusted to maximum 750 l/h (198 US gph). The sera UV-C
System 5 W, which does not require an o ther pump, is
connected to it. The sera bioactive IF 400 + UV internal
filter is energy saving and quiet. The filtered water leaves
the filter through a flexible current distributor. The currents
in the aquarium benefit of this feature. The filter is both
suitable for freshwater as well as marine aquariums.

Assembly and operation
The filter is attached to the aquarium glass with a hold-
er rail (see fig. 1.3) glued on with common aquarium sil-
icone. Due to this kind of attaching, it will cling to the
aquarium glass not only permanently, but also so close
to the aquarium glass that no fish can swim between the
filter and the aquarium glass.
Installation with new setups
1. P ut the filter into the empty, dry aquarium and place
the hood on the tank. Check how high the sera bio-
active IF 400 + UV internal filter including lid can be
installed without touching the hood. The upper edge
of the filter should be approximately 1 – 2 cm (0.4 –
0.8 in.) below the upper edge of the tank (2.1). Mark
the installation area of the holder rail on the outside of
the aquarium with an overhead marker or a grease
pencil.
2. Place the aquarium vertically on the side pane on
which the filter is to be attached. Make sure the un-
derground is even, smooth and clean – possibly place
a blanket or a Styrofoam slab underneath.
