INSTALLATION
Electrical installation
The power supply must meet the specifications on the product.
The air pump is designed to be used with either a weather-proof cable connector
or connected to the mains by means of a plug and socket.
The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth
The electrical cable is permanently connected inside the air pump body.
If the supply cable is damaged the air pump must not be used.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the air pump, as this may cause damage.
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations of
the local electricity authority and this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit to
protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that the special rules may exist concerning the installation
of your pond air pump (i.e. local building regulations). These air pumps must not be used in
swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact with the water.
Always disconnect and isolate the product from the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment
is being installed, repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in
any doubt about wiring this product to the mains supply.

separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
WARNING -
The air pumps must not be submerged in the pond, they are for
external installation only.
