Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity
−
The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
connected or misused.
−
Prior to reaching into the water, always disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
Correct electrical installation
−
Electrical installations at ponds must meet the international and national regulations valid for installers.
−
Electrical installations may only be carried out by qualified electricians.
−
Only use cables approved for outside use.
−
Ensure that the unit is protected by for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA via a fault current protection device.
−
Only connect the unit when the electrical data of the power supply is identical to that on the unit type plate.
−
Only operate the unit when plugged into a correctly fitted socket. Keep the socket dry.
Safe operation of the unit
−
Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water.
−
Keep the power plug dry.
−
Route the power cable so that damage is excluded.
−
Do not carry or pull the unit by the power cable. The power connection cable cannot be replaced.
−
Never run the unit without water. The unit would be destroyed.
−
Never use the pump for fluids other than water. Other fluids could destroy the unit.
−
Never open the unit housing or its attendant components, unless this is explicitly mentioned in the operating instruc-
tions.
−
Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
−
Only use original spare parts and original accessories for the unit.
Installation (A, B)
Observe a flood safe distance from the pond edge conforming with the regulations. It is important to maintain a mini-
mum distance of the unit (1) from the pond (e.g. in Germany 2 m). VDE 0100, Part 702 or the IEC 60364-7-702 applies
to all installations.
Place the unit (1) horizontally on a firm and level ground (slabs as minimum levelling, concrete to be preferred). Due to
the considerable volume, the weight of the unit (1) (350 kg when the container is filled) has to be taken into considera-
tion when selecting the ground.
Ensure the unrestricted access to the unit (1) to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work. When installing,
ensure that the pond inlet (or start of the water course or waterfall) is not located higher than the unit (1) outlet.
Note: When in operation, the pond pump must always be covered with at least 100 mm of water. Danger of running dry
and, as a result, damage to the pump!
