Installation and connection

B

W A R N I N G

Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond. Defective electrical components will

electrify the water with dangerous electrical voltage.

Never use the unit in bodies of water that can be entered (swimming ponds, swimming pools, etc.).

Install the controller with a distance of at least 2 m from the water.

Install electrical components (sockets, cables, etc.) with a voltage of U > 12 V AC or U > 30 V DC at a dis-

tance of at least 2 m from the water.

Submerged installation of the pump

Only install the unit below water level.

Place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.

Protect the controller from direct sunlight.

How to proceed:

C

1. Shorten the stepped hose adapter to the diameter of the hose used if necessary.

– This reduces pressure losses.

2. Screw the stepped hose adapter including the union nut to the outlet.

– Align the stepped hose adapter prior to tightening the union nut.

3. Slip the hose clip over the hose, fit the hose onto the hose connector and secure with the hose clip.

Dry installation of the pump

D

Swimming pond or pool that may be accessed by people.

– Install the unit at least 2 m away from the water.
