Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity
The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
•
connected or misused.
Prior to reaching into the water, always switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.
•
Correct electrical installation
Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
•
A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
•
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.
For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
•
The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
•
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
•
Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
•
Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
•
Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the identifi-
•
cation H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
Protect the plug connections from moisture.
•
Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.
•
Safe operation
Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
•
Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
•
Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
•
tripping obstacle.
Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
•
Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
•
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
•
Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
•
The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
•
be disposed of.
Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
•
The unit, the connections and plugs are not water-proof and must not be routed or installed in water.
•
Keep the socket and power plug dry.
•
Only operate the unit with the filter pump that is part of the scope of delivery.
•
Ensure that the filter will not overflow. Danger of emptying the pond.

Installation

Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
• Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water:
Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into
the water.
• Isolate the unit before starting any work.
• Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.
Oase recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar.
Cut the stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincides with the hose diameter. This helps avoid
pressure loss.
Ensure that the unit is placed at a flood protected place and on firm ground. Keep a minimum distance from the pond
edge of 2 m. Ensure unrestricted access to the cover to be able to carry out work on the unit. (A1)
Push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose adapter, secure with the hose clip, then screw the stepped hose adapter
on the water inlet (A2).
Ensure that the drain pipes for the water return (A4) are laid towards the pond with a suitable incline (>1 %). Oase rec-
ommends to return the clean water into the pond via a water course to additionally enrich the water with oxygen.
An optional adapter set is available for the cleaning outlet (A3). For this purpose, remove the cover cap from the clean-
ing outlet. Push the union nut over the hose, slide the stepped hose adapter without thread onto the hose end and se-
cure with the hose clip. Connect the stepped hose adapter with union nut and flat seal to the cleaning outlet. Push the
stepped hose adapter with thread onto the other hose end, secure with the hose clip and screw on the cover cap in-
cluding flat seal. Lay the hose with a suitable incline (>1 %) towards the sewage system or to a flower bed.
