Installing the unit
**
WARNING**
Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond. Defective electrical components will electrify the water with dangerous electrical voltage.

  • Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.

NOTE
If the pump is used for conveying excessively soiled water, the impeller unit will be subject to increased wear and will require earlier replacement.

  • Thoroughly clean the pond or pool before installing the pump.
  • Install the pump at a raised level above the bottom. This reduces intake of muddy water.

How to proceed:
 B

  • Install the unit in the pond in a horizontal position on firm, sludge-free ground and ensure that it is completely covered with water.

Commissioning/start-up
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up. Internal monitoring functions may switch off the unit and automatically reactivate it.

  • Disconnect the power plug before carrying out any work on the unit.

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.

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 and then every 20 … 40 minutes the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / clogged or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 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. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted.
