WARNING WARNING Disconnect all electrical devices in the water from the power supply before reaching into the water. Otherwise there is a risk of severe in- juries or death by electrocution. This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of expe- rience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the unit in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the unit. Only allow chil- dren to carry out cleaning and user maintenance under supervision.22 Safety information Electrical connection

• Special regulations apply for electrical installation in outdoor spaces. Only a qualified electri- cian may perform the electrical installation. – The qualified electrician has the necessary professional training, knowledge and experience to perform electrical installation in outdoor spaces. The electrician can detect potential dangers and knows how to adhere to regional and national standards, regulations and direc- tives. – For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.

• Only connect the unit if the electrical data of the unit and the power supply match.

• Only plug the unit into a correctly installed outlet.

• The device is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual op- erating current not exceeding 30 mA.

• Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use (splash-proof).

• Protect open plugs and sockets from moisture. Safe operation

• Do not use the unit, if electrical lines or the housing are damaged.

• Dispose of the unit if its power connection cable is damaged. The power connection cable can- not be replaced.

• The impeller unit in the pump contains a magnet with a strong magnetic field that may affect the operation of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Keep a distance of at least 0.2 m between the implant and the magnet.

• Do not carry or pull the unit by its power cable.

• Route lines in such a way that they are protected from damage and do not present a tripping hazard.

• Never carry out technical changes to the unit.

• Only carry out work on the unit that is described in this manual.

Read the instructions for use.

• Variant (a): Submerged pump installation – The pump is positioned in the pond or basin. – Water flow via the filter cage.

• 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.26 Submerged installation of the pump Connecting

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.

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. – An adapter for pipes with DN75/DN110 is available as an accessory (article number 35578).

• 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.

Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet!28 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. Permissible ambient temperatures (→ Technical data)

Connecting the controller

AMX0091 AMX009230 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 The pump must be connected to the controller before the controller is switched on.

• First connect the controller to the mains supply, then switch on the pump at the controller. Switching off

• Switch the pump off at the controller. – Disconnect the controller from the mains before performing any work on the unit. 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.EN
