Electrical Safety
Each pump is supplied with a 8metre length of 3 core electrical cable which is
attached to the Control Unit via a plug-in connector. A 2m length of permanently
attached power cable runs from the connector to the mains supply.
The termination to the mains supply should be permanent, inside a dry weatherproof
enclosure, through a double pole switched fused spur with a minimum contact gap of
3mm
–
(disconnected) to BS 3676
–
and fitted with a 3 or 5 amp fuse.
Exposed cable runs should be sensibly positioned, and protected if necessary, by
armoured conduit.
A 10mA or 30mA Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCD) MUST be fitted to the mains
supply.
Permanent installations to the mains supply (hard wiring) must comply with the
regulations of the local electricity authority which may stipulate the use of metal or
plastic conduit to protect the cable.
If in any doubt about wiring to the mains supply contact a qualified electrician or your
local electricity authority.
Protect from frost. In cold winter weather (when fish are inactive and algae growth
ceases) the pump may be switched off. It should then be drained of water, removed
(if possible) from its installation and stored in a dry, frost-protected area.
Directions for use
Installation
Once installed the pond water will flow through the
pump as the pump’s impellor
draws in water. It is always best to position your pump at the opposite end to where
the water returns to the pond to provide maximum circulation.
10000, 20000, 30000
Your pond is supplied with a hosetail. This should be screwed into the threaded pump
inlet. Pond hose size 20-50mm (3/4
” to 2”) can be attached to the inlet hosetail
The wires in the mains electrical lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE – Neutral (marked with an “N” in most terminal connections)
BROWN – LIVE (marked with an “L” in most terminal connections)
GREEN/YELLOW – EARTH (marked “E” or in most terminal connections)
