Assembly and initial operation
1. Completely unroll the connection cable of the pump and battery box.
2. Push the riser tubes onto the pump and then attach one of the fountain jets.
3. Place the pump into the pond. Avoid a position directly on the base of the pond, as too much dirt will be sucked in by the pump, which will quickly become soiled.
4. Assemble the module holder (tubes, union nut and ground spike) and attach this to the rear side of the solar module.
5. Connect the plug of the battery box with the solar module and screw the union nut tight. Caution! The plug is protected against polarity reversal, therefore do not apply force when
plugging in.
6. Now connect the plug of the pump with the “OUTPUT” socket of the battery box.
7. Positon the solar module in a sunny, shade-free location.
8. Turn the “SYSTEM ON/OFF” switch on the battery box to the “ON” position. The LED of the SYSTEM display illuminates GREEN and the pump begins to operate.
Information:
The SYSTEM LED display features two colours. If the display illuminates red, then the pump is not operating because the battery has too little residual charge or is
being charged for the first time. However, the battery is charged after less than one day with sunshine, after which the pump will begin to operate.
9. The pump stops automatically if the charge level of the battery is too low. The LED of the SYSTEM display then ligths up red until the battery is charged again.
10. At the end of the charging phase, the SYSTEM display flashes twice red-green every 10 seconds for 30 minutes. Then the display changes to green and the pump begins to run
again.
11. The pump output can be adjusted using the rotary knob “POTENTIOMETER”.
- Turn the knob to low, after which the pump runs with an operating voltage of 12 V, i.e. with reduced output and longer operating time.
- Turn the knob to high, after which the pump runs with an operating voltage of 24 V, i.e. the pump runs with maximum output and shorter operating time due to the high
battery consumption.
12. The pump can be operated in constant or interval mode using the “TIMER ON/OFF”.
- TIMER OFF = Constant operation, i.e. the interval mode is deactivated and the pump runs permanently. This mode is only available if the SYSTEM display illuminates green.
- TIMER ON = Interval operation, i.e. the pump runs 10 minutes per hour in regular intervals. This mode is useful in order to save battery capacity.
13. During the charging phase of the battery, the CHARGE display lights up yellow, depending on whether the system is switched on or off. The charging procedure is ended
automatically when the battery is charged to its maximum charging capacity.
Information:
The charge of the battery always has priority over the operation of the pump.
14. If the system is switched off (SYSTEM OFF), the pump does not operate but the battery is still charged during daylight.
Care and maintenance
Solar module
Deposits of dust, dirt and foliage can collect on the solar module. These can be removed using a microfibre cloth and glass cleaner.
Solar pump
If the pump output performance reduces or no longer functions after a certain time, then please clean the pump as follows.
1) Disconnect the pump cable from the solar module
2) Pull the filter housing from the pump
3) Press on the base plate and push this away from the pump
4) Open the rotor cover by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction
5) Pull the rotor out of the rotor shaft
6) Clean and wash the individual parts
7) Assemble the pump in reverse order
Caution!
Take care with the ceramic shaft during cleaning, as this can be easily broken.
