T.I.P. UV-C-SU 11 W Original-Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 15

Translation of original operating instructions
by inserting each into the corresponding hose nozzle (9 +13) insert a seal (7) and screw it tight by
hand. It is important that the water flows through the UV-C lamp lengthways, so only one of the two
directly opposite connections may be used for inlet or outlet. The direction of flow does not matter.
The connection that remains free is closed with a seal (7) and sight glass (16). This device then
serves as an indicator for the lamp function.
UV-C should be fixed on a base with a weight of at least 18 kg. Secure the lamp in a flood-proof
location using the supplied clamping brackets.. Only connect pumps that do not exceed the
maximum flow rate and the maximum pressure specified in the technical data.
5.2. Putting into operation
Attention! Comply with the safety measures specified for the UVC emitter (see above)! Install the
connection socket outlet in the water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the edge of the
pond!
Connect the pond pump to the mains supply.
Check whether the hose is connected so that it is watertight and no leaks are visible on the
radiator. Use commercially available hose clamps if necessary.
Connect the UVC emitter to the mains supply. You can check the function of the UV-C tube by a
bluish shimmer on the sight glass (16) of the UV-C lamp.
5.3. Operation
For this filter system we recommend continuous operation (24 hours a day), in the season months
March to October.
6. Maintenance and care
Attention! 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.
Attention! The power cord of this device cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the
complete lamp socket including the ballast must be replaced. It is not possible to replace the
supply line, as the connecting cables are firmly sealed.
6.1. Cleaning of the UV-C lamp and replacing the tube
In case of stronger accumulation of alga and calcification, the correct function of the UV C unit
should be checked. UVC tube (2) has a limited period of effectiveness (approx. 4000 to 5000
hours) and should be replaced at the latest after one season (March to October). Appropriate
replacement tubes are available at the service address specified below.
If the pond filter has been switched off for a longer period of time, ensure that the quartz glass
cylinder that encloses the UVC tube is clean.
If the filter has not been operated for a longer period of time, under some circumstances it may be
necessary to replace the sealing rings (particularly for the UVC emitter).
Cleaning of the UV-C lamp
1. Disconnect the UVC lamp from the mains power and safeguard it from being switched on
unintentionally
2. Comply with the safety measures.
3. Allow the water to completely run out of the unit.
4. Unscrew the bulb socket (1) of the protective housing (11) of the lamp and replace the UVC
tube (2) if necessary.
Cleaning of the quartz glass cylinder
1. After removing the lamp socket (1) and UVC tube (2), carefully pull the quartz glass (5) out of
the housing. Use a wide screwdriver, a coin or similar item to do so. Insert the tool into one of
the notches visible at the beginning of the housing thread and carefully pry out the quartz
glass.
2. Clean the quartz glass (5) and the housing (11) thoroughly with water and a soft cloth.
