• for aquarium-related purposes

• in compliance with the technical data The following limitations apply to the appliance:

• do not use for commercial or industrial purposes

• the water temperature may not exceed 35°C

WARNING- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, in- cluding the following.

• FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY ‧ WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pools areas!

• DO NOT RUN DRY! READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.English

• DANGER. To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an autho- rized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

• If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.

• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctio- ning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord; disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that sup- plies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.

• Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before opera- ting it.

POWER SUPPLY CORD DRIP LOOP• Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

• Check that the voltage shown on the label of the unit corresponds to the volta- ge of the mains supply.

• Disconnect all electrical appliances from the mains before placing hands in the water.

• The line cord of this unit cannot be replaced or repaired. Should the line cord become damaged the appliance must be discarded.

Safety instructions Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is improperly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded. For your safety

This appliance can be used by children from the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili- ties or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are super- vised and have been instructed in the safe use of the applian- ce and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

Before use, carry out a visual inspection to ensure that the appli- ance, especially the mains cable and plug, are undamaged.• Repairs must only be carried out by an EHEIM service centre.

When the line is damaged, the device must no longer be used.

Only carry out the work described in these instructions.

Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance.

To protect against contact voltage being too high, the fixture must have a residual current device with a rated release fault current not exceeding 30 mA. Ask your electrician.

In the event of water leakage or when the residual current pro- tection device is triggered, immediately disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply.

If they are not being used, always disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply before you install/remove any parts and before all cleaning and maintenance work.

Protect the mains socket and mains plug against moisture. It is recommended to form a drip loop with the mains cable to prevent any water running along the cable to the mains socket.

The electrical data of the pump must match the data of the power mains. This data is found on the type plate, the packa- ging and in these instructions. English

sensor with adhesive strips

mount for the drainage elbow

retaining clamp 1x plug adapter for the power supply unit, 1x operating instructions, 1x guarantee card All parts, the plug-in power supply unit, the controller, the sensor and the refilling pump are wired with one another. The plug-in power supply unit

is permanently wired to the controller

. From the controller,

one cable goes to the sensor

and another cable to the refilling pump

Installation of the sensor Do not remove the adhesive strips yet! The sensor

is fixed to the outer side of the basin (aquarium, filter basin, sump) with an adhe- sive strip; the water level of this basin must be monitored. The corresponding basin must be prepared such that the sensor can be fitted properly. The fixing position must be a dry area with no risk of splashed water. The pump should not be in the water as yet. The adhesive surface on the outer side of the glass panel must be dry, clean and free from grease. Clean the adhesive surface using methylated spirit. All-purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners or similar are not suit- able for use on the aquarium. Now, connect the power supply unit to the socket; on doing this, the red LED ( C1) on the controller gets activated and glows constantly. Then, place the sensor from outside on the glass panel of the basin above the water level in a horizontal position (both the LEDs S1 and S2 on the sensor glow) ( 1.). Slowly move the sensor downwards ( 2.) until the yellow LED ( S2)goes out. Ensure that the sensor is in contact with the basin glass during this entire movement ( 3.). On the basin, mark the position of the sensor, on which the yellow LED has gone out ( 4.). Only after this is done, pull out the protective foil of the adhesive strip ( 5.) and press the sensor forcefully on the glass in a horizontal position for 10 seconds ( 6.). Caution: Do not bring the sensor and adhesive strip in contact with water / splas- hing water! Even very small quantities of water / water droplets between the glass pane of the basin and the sensor lead to malfunctioning! Never place the sensor close to metallic objects or cables, these, too, lead to malfunctions! English Connect the hose

to the water outlet of the pump ( P1). Then place the pump

in the water reservoir. Guide the hose

to the point on the aquarium at which the aquarium is to be filled with water and, where necessary, shorten the hose

to the required length. Insert the drain elbow

in the other end of the hose

and clip the mount ( H2) to the elbow. The outlet opening of the drain elbow

must always be installed above the water level. If the end of this tube is submerged in water, water from the filter basin or aquarium will flow in the reservoir or vice-versa, according to the principle of communicating pipes, until the water level in both the containers is the same. In order to avoid wave movements in front of the sensor, the mount

must be so fixed to the aquarium glass using the retaining clip ( H1) that the water discharge is at least 5 cm away from the sensor. In addition, it is recommended, by means of the shut-off valve

to restrict the delivery rate of the pump
