INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE
Important Safety Information - Please Read Carefully
Caution: Do not use any power supply other than the one supplied with your
genuine REEF-Tide/REEF-Tide Compact Pump. The use of a different power
supply will invalidate the guarantee.
- Always isolate the PSU from the mains electricity before installing or carrying out
any maintenance to the pump.
Caution:
The REEF-Tide/REEF-Tide Compact Controller is not waterproof and therefore
must not be mounted above the aquarium or sump, or in any position where it may
accidentally fall into water or be splashed by water, or in a humid environment.
- Only use the correctly-rated controller supplied with the pump, e.g the REEF-Tide 6000
Controller with the REEF-Tide 6000 Pump. A label on the back of the controller denotes
which pump it is designed for.
Using the wrong controller with the wrong pump will
invalidate the guarantee.
- Power to the pump must be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
- Never operate the pump without water inside the impeller chamber or with liquids at a
temperature higher than 95
o
F/35
o
C.
- To ensure the pump continues to maintain a steady water flow, it must be cleaned regularly
to ensure it does not become clogged with debris or detritus.
- Pump rating: 100-240V, 50/60Hz unless marked otherwise.
- Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning,
or if it has been dropped or damaged in any way.
- This unit is designed to be used indoors and is not suitable for any outdoor applications.
- Ensure the REEF-Tide/REEF-Tide Compact Pump is securely installed before operating.
- Always leave a drip-loop in the pump cable to prevent water running down the cable and
reaching the controller and power source (see diagram below).
- Dispose of this unit responsibly. Check with your local authority for disposal
information.
