Electrical installation
The power supply must meet the specifications on the product.
The pump is intended to be used with either a weatherproof
cable connector or permanently connected to the fixed wiring
of the mains system other than by means of a plug and socket.
A 3 amp fuse must be fitted in the mains circuit.
The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.
The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body.
If the supply cable is damaged the pump must not be used and must be safely
discarded.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.
WARNING - THIS PUMP MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also know as the Residual
Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA must be installed in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation
of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to
the regulations of the national and local electricity authority and this would
include the use of a metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning
the installation of your pond pump (i.e. local building regulations).
These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are
in contact with the water.
Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being
installed, repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in
any doubt about wiring this product to the main supply.
Warning -
The Amphibious pump is provided with a thermal cut
out that temporarily switches off the pump in case of overheating,
the pump may automatically restart when it has cooled.
