  directives.
  – For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.

• Install the transformer or the power pack at a minimum safety distance of 2 m (6.6 ft) from the water.

• Only connect the unit if the electrical data of the unit and the power supply match.

• Only connect the device to a correctly installed socket.

• The device is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.

• Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use (splash-proof).

• Protect open plugs and sockets from moisture.

Safe operation

• Never look directly into the light source of the unit.
• Do not use the unit, if electrical lines or the housing are damaged.
• Dispose of the unit if its power connection cable is damaged. The power connection cable cannot be replaced.
• Do not carry or pull the unit by its power cable.
• Route lines so that they are protected from damage and nobody can trip over them.
• Never make technical modifications to the unit.
• Only carry out work on the unit that is described in this manual.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories.
• Should problems occur, please contact the authorized customer service or OASE.

WARNING
Serious injury or death due to dangerous electrical voltage is possible with an electrical device in water operated with a voltage U > 12 V AC or U > 30 V DC.

▶ Disconnect all electrical devices in the water from the power supply before reaching into the water.
▶ Disconnect the device from the power supply before starting work on the unit.

WARNING
In the event of improper connection of the unit grounding, there is a risk of electric shock.
The unit must be grounded in order for the electrical current to be dissipated via the grounding and to reduce the risk of electric shock in the event of a malfunction or failure.

Instructions for grounding:
▶ The unit is equipped with a mains cable with grounding conductor and a plug with grounding pin. The plug must be plugged into a suitable socket, which is installed and grounded according to  local regulations and ordinances and is protected by a FI protection switch (GFCI).
▶ Do not modify the plug. Have a suitable socket installed by an electrician if the plug does not fit into the socket.
▶ Contact an electrician if you have any doubts as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Symbols on the unit

Read the operating manual prior to using the unit.

Installation and connection

Installation planning

• The water features can be installed submerged and are also suitable for dry installation.
• With submerged installation, the nozzle must protrude at least 3.2 in (8 cm) from the water.
• Operate the pump only when it is covered with at least 4 in (10 cm) of water. Otherwise, it may draw air.

Fitting the water feature

• Mount the unit on a firm ground, e.g. sidewalk slab. (The assembly material is not included in the scope of delivery.)
• Ensure a safe, horizontal position.

Fitting the pump
NOTE
If the pump is used for conveying excessively muddy 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 of the pond. This reduces intake of muddy water.

• Install the pump housing horizontally on a firm, mud-free surface. Ensure that the pump housing is securely positioned.
• Operate the pump only when it is covered with at least 4 in (10 cm) of water. Otherwise, it maydraw air.

Connecting the hose

• For optimal water arches, we recommend hose lengths between 6.6 and 9.8 ft (2 and 3 m).

Fitting the control box

• Position the control box and the power pack protected from direct sunlight. The distance to the water must be more than 6.6 ft (2 m).
• If the ground is soft, the control box can be anchored to the ground with a ground stake.
• Alternatively, the control box can be attached to a plate with suitable screw connectors. (Thescrews are not included in the scope of delivery.)

Establishing the connections
WARNING
The power supply carries dangerous electrical voltage and must not be placed directly near water. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious injury or death from electric shock.
▶ Install the power supply in a flood-protected position at a distance of at least 6.6 ft (2 m) from the water.

**** If only one Water Jet Lightning is to be connected, the free connection on the control box must be terminated with the jumper plug.

Commissioning/start-up

NOTE
Never connect the control box to a dimmer. This will destroy the control box.
NOTE
Never allow the pump to run dry. This will destroy the pump.
▶  Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded.

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.

Setting the water feature

Operation

The control box is operated by radio via a 2-channel hand-held transmitter. The hand-held transmitter has a range of max. 260 ft (80 m). Obstacles between hand-held transmitter and control box, a low battery in the hand-held transmitter or electro-magnetic radiation of electrical equipment will impair the range. When the control box is switched on (power plug inserted), the hand-held transmitter can be used to sequentially select 4 pre-programmed water feature images. After switching on the unit, program 1 is automatically activated.

• Button 1: Selecting the next program.
• Button 2: Selecting the previous program.

Programs

• Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously to set the current color permanently.
• Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously again to set the light change.
P3| Pulsating water jet, continuous white light
P4| Pulsating water jet, colored light change/colored continuous light
• Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously to set the current color permanently.
• Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously again to set the light change.

Teach-in hand-held transmitter
The hand-held transmitter included in the scope of delivery is taught in for the control box. A maximum of 10 hand-held transmitters can be set to the control box.
If you want to register another hand-held transmitter to the control box, proceed as follows:

Teach-in hand-held transmitter:

1. Press the teach-in button on the control box with a pointed object (pen, bent paper clip, etc.) for approx. 1 second. The control box is now in teach-in mode for 3 seconds.
2. Press any button on the hand-held transmitter for approx. 1 second within the 3 seconds. The control box can now be operated with the new hand-held transmitter.

****You can only log out all hand-held transmitters known to the control box together, not individual ones. To log out all hand-held transmitters, press the teach-in button for approx. 5 seconds.

Maintenance and cleaning

NOTE
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These agents can damage the housing, impair the function of the device and harm animals, plants and the environment.
▶ Clean the unit with clean water and a soft brush or sponge wherever possible. Remove stubborn dirt with the aid of the recommended cleaning agents.
Cleaning the unit
****Clean the unit as required, but at least twice a year.

• Recommended cleaning agent for removing stubborn limescale deposits:
  – Vinegar- and chlorine-free household cleaning agent.

• After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts in clean water.

Disassemble the water feature

• Pull the power plug and remove all connections.
• Dismantle the unit as shown in the figure.

Disassemble the pump

• Pull the power plug and remove all connections.
• Dismantle the unit as shown in the figure.

Changing the battery
NOTE
Electrical components can be destroyed by static discharge or moisture.

• Avoid touching electrical components or conductors. If this is unavoidable, discharge yourself from static charge beforehand by grounding yourself briefly, for example, on a bare heating pipe.
• Protect the interior of the housing from dirt and moisture.

Storage/overwintering

Remove the Water Jet components at temperatures below zero degrees centigrade.

• Before storage, perform a thorough cleaning, check all components for damage.
• Store the Water Jets and pump frost-free and immersed in a container filled with water. Do not immerse the plugs.
