In addition to the basic safety instructions, also comply with the following instructions to prevent accidents:
1.
Warning
: Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical devices immersed in the
pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet. Do not operate the pump if there are people
in the water. Switch off the main fuse of the main domestic power supply, before unplugging the mains cable, if the
connection plug or the main power outlet are wet. Never transport or suspend the device by the mains cable.
2. Warning: Accidental operation of the device or damage to the housing can result in the release of harmful UVC
radiation. UVC radiation can damage the eyes and skin, even in small doses. Never look directly into the UV C tube
when it is switched on.
3. Warning: The UVC emitter must not be operated if it has been removed from the device housing.
4. Ensure that the voltage specified on the type plate of the device agrees with the mains voltage.
5. Prior to connecting the device to the mains supply, ensure that the mains cable and the device are not damaged in
any way. Devices with obvious damage must not be operated.
6. The mains cable of the device must form a loop that points downward (DRIP LOOP) to prevent water from running
along the cable and into the socket outlet.
7. The device must have a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a rated residual current of max. 30 mA
connected on the line side. Consult a qualified electrician.
8. Do not bury the mains cable in the ground; follow the installation instructions specified in the applicable local
regulations. Consult a qualified electrician.
9. During the installation, avoid lifting the device by the mains cable.
10. Prior to placing the device in service, ensure that the installation has been properly executed.
11. Install the filter at least 2 meters away from the edge of the pond; ensure that it is attached in such a manner that it
cannot accidentally fall into the water and that the installation area of the filter cannot be flooded.
12. Do not use or store the device in areas where there is danger of freezing. In winter the device should be removed,
emptied and stored where it is protected against freezing.
13. Do not let the pump run dry (without water flow).
14. Do not use the device with corrosive liquids.
15. The temperature of the pumped liquid must not exceed 35°C (max.) and must not underrange 2°C.
16. Warning! Only use the UVC filter together with the Watton FD028-5/7/9W (UV-C Strahler 7 W), Watton FD028-13W
(UV-C Strahler 13 W) safety transformer included in the scope of delivery. If there is a defect, the complete UVC unit
must be replaced.
17. Do not use the bulb outside of the device
18. Warning: This device consists partially of glass! Handle with care!
19. Never connect the filter to the public water supply network.
20. The UV filter is not designed for immersion in water. If the device should accidentally fall into the water, do not, under
any circumstances, attempt to get it out of the water, until you have pulled the mains plug out of the mains socket
outlet. Also unplug the mains plug if you determine that the exterior of the device is wet.
Attention!
Use in garden ponds and the protected area of garden ponds is only permitted if the installation complies
with the valid regulations. Consult a qualified electrician.
DO NOT use the pump in or on swimming pools!
4.
Application areas and mode of operation
The device has been developed for private use and not for industrial or commercial purposes.
5. Installation
Do not use excessive force that can cause damage when tightening threaded unions.
