Product Description

Overview

A:

Installation and connection

Assembling the unit

B:

• Screw the injector nozzle onto the pump outlet.
• Attach the hose ends to the connection sockets on the injector nozzle and on the float
  • Fasten the hose with the hose clips

Adjusting the injector nozzle

C:

• Undo the knurled screw for locking the drum.

• Turn the drum until the injector nozzle is in the desired position.

• Tighten the knurled screw.
  To optimize the effect of the injector nozzle, note the specified minimum distances from the bottom of the pond.

  • When the injector nozzle is directed downwards towards to the bottom of the pond, it generates deep aeration, thereby biologically activating the pond
  • When the injector nozzle is directed at a flatter angle, it generates a stronger water

Connecting the control system

D:
Connect the AquaAir Eco 250 to the OASE Garden Controller or the OASE InScenio FM-Master Home/Cloud and control the AquaAir Eco 250 using OASE Control .

• For information on OASE Control visit www.oase.com.
  Integrate the AquaAir Eco 250 in the OASE Control network either as the only or as the final station.

  • The line length in the OASE Control network is limited. If the network cable is looped through (IN/OUT) on the AquaAir Eco 250 the network cable can reach a length of 197 ft due to the 98 ft network connection cable.

Connecting and disconnecting the OASE Control plug connection

E:

NOTE : The unit will be destroyed if water penetrates the plug connector.

• Connect the plug connector or place the protective cap on the plug connector.
  • Ensure that the rubber seal is clean and fits precisely. If the rubber seal is damaged, replace it.
  • Secure the plug connector or protective cap with the two screws.

Installing the unit

F:
WARNING : Severe injuries or death from the operation of the unit in a swimming pond. Faulty electric components will apply dangerous electric voltage to the water.

• Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.

Ensure that the connection to the power supply is at least 6.5 ft from the edge of the pond.

Fastening the unit on the side of the pond

G:

• Shorten two-wire cables to the desired length.
• Form loops at each of the cable ends and fasten these with cable clamps.
• Anchor the aerator using the two wire cables, the safety hook, and the two pegs driven in at the side of the pond.
  • Adhere to the specified anchoring angles so that the aerator cannot move.
• Relieve strain from the power cable and protect the power plug from wetness.

Fastening the unit to the bottom of the pond

H:

• Shorten two-wire cables to the desired length (minimum 16.5 ft).
• Form loops at each of the cable ends and fasten these with cable clamps.
• For anchoring to the bottom of the pond, screw the two threaded hooks into, for instance, two sufficiently heavy stones using dowels.
• Attach the cables to the threaded hooks using the safety hooks and lower the stones to the bottom of the pond.
  • Adhere to the specified anchoring angles so that the aerator cannot move.
•  Anchor the aerator using the two wire cables and the safety hook.
• Relieve strain from the power cable and protect the power plug from wetness.

Commissioning/start-up

NOTE: The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical components.

• Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.

NOTE : Never allow the pump to run dry. Otherwise the pump will be destroyed.

• Only operate the pump while it is submerged.

Switching ON/OFF

• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
  • The unit switches on immediately.
• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.

Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / blocked or submerged. The pump switches off automatically after approx. 90 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a malfunction, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. Afterward, the unit can be restarted.
