• Variant (b): Dry pump installation – The pump is installed without the filter cage outside of the pond or basin but lower than the water level. – Water flow via a satellite filter or skimmer.EN

Installation and connection The pump can be installed submerged (in water) or dry (outside the water).

WARNING 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 operate the unit in a swimming pond. CAUTION Rotating components in the intake and pressure socket area. Risk of injury when reaching into the sockets. In particular, observe the following: A unit that has stopped due to overload can start up unex- pectedly! Do not reach into the opening of the intake socket or pressure socket while the power plug is plugged in. If the sockets are freely accessible during operation, e.g. if no hoses are connected, use a hand guard to secure the sockets. The hand guard is available as an accessory. Avoid exposing any unit components to direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as this can lead to damage. If necessary, use a protective cover.24 Submerged installation of the pump Connecting

• The larger the hose diameter, the smaller the friction losses in the lines and the better the flow rate.

• The hose diameter must not be limited unnecessarily by a hose sleeve. Shorten the hose sleeve based on the hose diameter, if necessary. AMX0003 Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet! Installation

• Place the pump horizontally on a stable surface.

• Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.

• For muddy or soiled water, we recommend installing the pump or intake-side components (skimmer, satellite filter, base outlet, etc.) above ground level. This decreases intake of parti- cles and increases the service life of the impeller unit.

• Only operate the pump when it is covered in at least 10 cm of water. Otherwise it may draw in air. AMX0082 The pull rope allows you to simply pull the pump from the water. − Fasten the pull rope on the bottom filter casing through the round openings and make a knot.EN

Install the unit at a dry place Dry installation requires the pump to be installed without a filter housing. Conversion

• Hoses or pipes can be connected to the inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT). – Connections for hoses are part of the scope of delivery. Instructions for their installation can be found below.

• Ensure that the intake-side hose (IN) does not have a smaller diameter than the pressure-side hose (OUT).

• The larger the hose diameter, the smaller the friction losses in the lines and the better the flow rate.

• The hose diameter must not be limited unnecessarily by a hose sleeve. Shorten the hose sleeve based on the hose diameter, if necessary.

• The pump can handle particles with a size of up to 8 mm. Larger particles will clog the pump. We recommend installing a filter or skimmer on the intake side.

Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet!26 Installation

• Place the pump horizontally on a stable surface.

• Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.

• Do not expose the pump to direct sunlight.

• Ensure that the installation site is sufficiently ventilated to prevent overheating of the pump. AMX0083EN

Commissioning/start-up NOTE The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical compo- nents. Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply. NOTE Never allow the pump to run dry. Otherwise the pump may be destroyed. Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded. Switching ON/OFF

• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet. – The unit switches on immediately.

• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet. Environmental Function Control (EFC) When started up and then every 20 ... 40 minutes the pump automatically performs a pre-pro- grammed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / clogged or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a malfunction, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted.28 Maintenance and cleaning CAUTION Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up. Internal monitoring functions may switch off the unit and automatically reactivate it. Disconnect the power plug before carrying out any work on the unit. NOTE Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These agents can damage the housing, impair the function of the device and harm animals, plants and the environment. If possible, clean the unit with clear water and a soft brush or a sponge; remove stubborn dirt with the aid of the recommended cleaning agents. Dismantling the unit
