FUNCTION OF THE SOLAR PANEL

The pump and the LED light are controlled by the „POWER“ and „MODE“ switches. The „POWER“ switch turns the pump „ON“ or „OFF“. The „MODE“ switch controls the LED light when the pump is running.

POWER“ (ON)

Switch „POWER“ (B, see illustration) is set to „ON“. The pump delivers water when the battery is charged or when there is sufficient solar energy. The pump can be switched on and off with the „POWER“ button. This is the normal mode.
When there is sufficient sunshine, the battery is charged and the pump works. In weak sunlight the battery supplies the energy.
The charging time of the battery depends on the light intensity of the sun.
When the sun is weak and the battery voltage is low, the pump and the LED light stop. When the battery is recharged to a certain point, the pump automatically starts in normal mode.
Battery can be fully charged within about 4-5 hours if the light intensity is strong enough.

POWER“ (OFF
The pump and the LED light are switched off.

„MODE“

Switch „MODE“ (A, see illustration): In normal mode the pump runs during the day and at night. The LED light is only on at night.
If the LED light should also light during the day, the „MODE“ switch must be pressed.
If the pump is switched off, the LED light cannot light up.

INTERVAL MODE

When the battery is low charged and the sun intensity is low, the pump will switch to interval mode. The LED light can be switched on and off.
Interval Recovery time: On cloudy days, a few minutes in strong sunlight may be enough to recharge the battery a little in a very short time (usually 3-5 minutes). The pump will then run in normal mode again.
Restart continuous mode: When the sun intensity or battery charge level is sufficient, the control unit automatically switches the pump back to normal mode.

LIGHTING CONTROL

Light control at night: In normal mode, the control panel switches on the LED light only at night.
Light control during the day: With the „MODE“ switch the LED light can be switched on and off during the day. The lighting mode can be changed according to your requirements.

IMPORTANT!

Problem: Uneven water distribution or water splashes in the well area.

Correction: During the first start-up, uneven water distribution may appear. In such cases, we recommend checking the stability of the fountain and the water flow.

PERFORMANCE

The performance of the pump depends on the orientation of the solar panels toward the sun and the intensity of. The max. Data obtained under optimal conditions. A feature in the shade or on cloudy days can not be guaranteed. In models with battery Operation depends on the function of the bat-tery is charged.

FROST
Frost can cause damage to the garden fountain and pump. If there is a risk of frost, the garden fountain and the pump must be emptied, rinsed with clean water and stored in a dry place. Then you will enjoy it for a very long time!

MAINTENANCE

Keep the fountain in good working condition by cleaning it and changing the water every 3 days. Using distilled or purified water will give the best performance.
If debris is caught in the intake vents of the pump, disconnect the pump from any power sources and rinse the pump under clean running water.
Before storing the pump in winter it is absolutely important to rinse it with clean water.
Any dirt particles remaining in the pump will dry out on the pump shaft during the time of storage and cause irreparable damage.

If after some time the pump starts losing power or stops working, please clean up sediment in the pump shell or filter cribs. Kindly note the pump can be opened by pressing down at the bottom of the filter housing. To clear the impeller, open the pump housing at the front by sliding up the front plastic cover.

BATTERY INFORMATION

After 12 to 18 months, you should replace the battery. For this purpose open the battery cover and replace the battery with a new. Please find the item number of the replacement battery in section 15. Technical data and order at
https://www.profi-pumpe.de/GARTEN-u-ZIMMER-BRUNNEN/Ersatzteile- Gartenbrunnen:::230_300.html. Please note the limited implied warranty of 6 months.

Important! It must be ensured that the battery cover is properly tightened and watertight.

With repeated charge and discharge cycles Lead-Acid and NiMh battery packs are less efficient (memory effect).
This effect is much less pronounced, but still present in small mass in the Li-ion batteries used.
Through very short and frequent loading operations and many other operational influences batter-ies can age prematurely strong. The batteries are therefore subject to a consumable and wearing part of a shortened warranty of 6 months.
If you find that the battery will be less efficient, the battery needs to be fully charged. These allow the unit for 2 to 3 days (pump should not be connected) standing in the sun in order to allow a maximum charge the battery or use a suitable external charger.
We recommend to occasionally repeat this procedure to extend the battery life.
If after this recharging the battery still does not meet expectations, you should replace the batteries.
NOTE: The battery is supplied charged. If the state of charge, contrary to expectations, not be sufficient to charge the batteries for at least 8 hours to allow sufficient charging of the battery (so damage the battery to avoid overcharging, the pump must be connected).
