Operating instructions

- EN - Original manual. This manual belongs with the unit and must always be passed on together with the unit. Safety information Correct electrical installation

• Special regulations apply for electrical installation in outdoor spaces. Only a qualified electrician 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 directives. – For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.

• 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 operating current not exceeding 30 mA.

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

• Protect the plug connection from moisture. Safe operation

• Disconnect all electrical devices in the water from the power supply before reaching into the water. Otherwise there is a risk of severe injuries or death by electrocution.

• This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa- bilities or lack of experience 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. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children unless they are aged from 8 years and above and supervised.

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

• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be scrapped.

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

• Never pull on electric cables. In particular, never carry units on their cables.

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

• Always unplug the unit before working on it.

• Never carry out technical changes to the unit.

• With hose sleeve (7)

• 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 hose or a pipe.

The unit is dust-tight and water-tight down to 4 m.

The unit is protected against dust and splash water.

Protect the unit from freezing temperatures.

Possible danger for persons with pacemakers.

Protect the unit from direct sunlight.

Do not dispose of the unit with normal household waste.

Installation and connection The pump can be installed submerged (in water) or dry (outside the water). The use of the pump is only permitted with observance of the specified water quality. (→ Technical data)

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 unexpectedly! 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. Submerged installation of the pump Connecting

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

• The line diameter must not be limited unnecessarily by a stepped hose adapter. If necessary, shorten the adapter based on the line diameter. How to proceed:

• Place the pump horizontally on a stable surface.

• Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.

• Only operate the pump when it is covered in at least 10 cm of water. Otherwise it may draw in air. How to proceed: D- EN -

Install the unit at a dry place Connecting

• 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.

• To optimise the pump capacity, ensure that the diameter of the intake side line (IN) is not smaller than the diameter of the pressure side line (OUT).

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

• The line diameter must not be limited unnecessarily by a stepped hose adapter. If necessary, shorten the adapter based on the line diameter. For dry installation, we recommend pointing the outlet upward. How to proceed:

• 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. How to proceed:

It is possible to screw the unit to a suitable surface to ensure stability. How to proceed:

• Position the controller at a location protected from sunlight and weather (e.g. on a wall). Attach it to a hook or a screw. The controller is protected against dust and splash water (IP44).

• Ensure that the connections point down. How to proceed: H- EN -

Commissioning/start-up NOTE The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical components. Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.

Malfunction remedy Troubleshooting overview Malfunction Cause Remedy Pump does not start. No mains voltage

• Check the mains voltage.

• Check supply lines. Pump not switched on Switch the pump on at the controller Pump does not transport fluid Filter clogged Clean filter Excessively soiled water Clean the pump. The pump automatically switches on again once the motor has cooled down. Pump is set too low Increase the pump power on the controller Impeller unit is blocked Disconnect the power supply and remove obstacle. Then switch the pump on again. Insufficient delivered quan- tity Filter clogged Clean filter Excessive loss in the supply lines

• Select larger hose diameter

• Adjust stepped hose adapter to hose diameter

• Reduce hose length to minimum necessary

• Avoid unnecessary connection elements Pump is set too low Increase the pump power on the controller Pump switches off after operating briefly Excessively soiled water Clean the pump. The pump automatically switches on again once the motor has cooled down. Impeller unit is blocked Disconnect the power supply and remove obstacle. Then switch the pump on again. Pump has run dry Flood the pump. Fully submerge the pump for operation in the pond.

Error messages The error message automatically disappears after the error has been corrected. Error message Cause Remedy E 01 The overcurrent protection has tripped. Clean impeller unit Ensure that the impeller unit moves with ease. If the impeller unit is sluggish, the pump requires too much power. E 02 Phase failure; possibly broken cable.

• Pull power plug and wait for approx. 10 s. Then switch the pump on again.

• If the error message is still displayed, there is a cable break. Take the pump to a specialist retailer for repair or send it to PfG. E 03 The blocking protection has trip- ped. Check pump and remove blockage. E 04 The dry run protection has tripped Flood pump with water.- EN -
