SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The special
sera UV-C lamp
may be operated only inside the
sera UV-C Sys-
tem
after it has been completely assembled according to these directions
for use. Every other use may lead to skin and eye damage!
• Always keep UV-C units and UV-C lamps out of the reach of children!
• All electrical units at/in the aquarium must be disconnected from the pow -
er/mains supply before conducting work at the aquar i um and on the
sera
UV-C System
.
• Operate unit only with a fault current protection switch (RCD, 30 mA).
• Do not operate if unit is submerged!
• Never operate the UV-C system without water flow.
• Ensure that there is sufficient water flow through the
sera UV-C System 5 W
before switching on the UV-C lamp. A minimum flow rate must be ensured
also during operation.
• Too frequent “ON/OFF” switching reduces the life expectancy of the UV-C
lamp.
• Ensure that the electrical plug of the switched-on unit is freely accessible at
all times.
