(10m cable no plug) IMPORTANT - The wires in this lead are coloured as follows: Blue-Neutral/Brown-Live. The colours of the wires of the main lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. In this case, connect as follows: the BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal marked with L or in RED colour; the BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked N or in BLACK colour. CAUTION - The BROWN or BLUE leads must NEVER be connected to the earth terminal (marked E or in GREEN/YELLOW colour) of a 3 pins plug.Dear valued Customer, thank you for choosing SYNCRA ADV. This new generation of Syncra Silent pumps are highly efficient products that have been developed and manufactured in Italy to meet the most stringent quality and performance requirements. SYNCRA ADV are ideal to be used in marine and fresh water aquariums, decorative fountains, protein skimmers, and water-cooling systems. SYNCRA ADV can be used fully submersed or for inline (external) applications. The pumps have a turning pre-chamber, which makes them easy to use for many applications in tight spaces. The unique closing ring allows the pumps to be maintained easily and without screws or tools. Please, read carefully and save the following instructions for best practices and use of the SYNCRA ADV pump. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SYNCRA ADV is made in conformity with the national and international security laws. 1) Always isolate the pump from the main electricity before installing or carrying out any maintenance. 2) The pump can work submerged or inline out of water. 3) Before connecting the pump to the electricity supply, check there are any damages on cord or plug. 4) The pump has a type Z cable link. The cable and the plug cannot be substituted or repaired; in case of damage replace the entire pump.

5) ATTENTION: do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it

is malfunctioning, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. 6) The pump must not work without water to avoid damages to the motor. 7) The pump can be used in liquids or in environment with a temperature not higher than 35° C / 95° F.

8) Do not use the pump for uses different to those for which it has been projected

as, i.e. in bathroom or similar applications. 9) Avoid using the pump with corrosive and abrasive liquids. 10) The pump cannot be used by people with handicaps or by children if they are not supervised by a person responsible for their safety.

11) To avoid that accidental drips wet the plug or the socket, make a loop with

the cord under the socket level (Pic. 1). 12) Avoid to take the pump by the cord during the installation or maintenance. 13) The pump can be used only in the above mentioned applications and it is only for internal use (3 meters long cable).

14) If the pump or the filter is supplied with a cable 10 meters long, or more than

6 feet long for the American type (USA), these appliances are intended for outdoor use as required by international standards. COMPONENTS SYNCRA ADV pumps are designed favoring the almost total dismantling of their components, to facilitate proper use and maintenance and ensure a long life. Below is the list of the individual parts and spare parts (Pic. A): [1] Motor body completely submersible and insulated by epoxy resin [2] Rotor kit with Impeller and bottom bearing [3] Bottom bearing [4] O-ring [5] Anti-vibration rubber feet [6] Turning pre-chamber [7] Pre-filter grid [8] 1” threaded hose fittings

Proceed as follows to install the pump: 1) Connect the joint to the pump outtake to which you can connect the hose with the appropriate diameter. 2) Place the pump in an area of the pond, easily accessible for the maintenance operations. 3) If the pump is used submersed and not in line, it must be always fully submersed. (Pic. D)

IN LINE APPLICATIONS

It is recommended to place the pump in spaces where there is a proper ventilation and the pump is not directly exposed to heat sources. Place the pump so as to prevent too long idraulic pipings, which would reduce its performance. Do not position the pump above the water level (Pic. E) because it is not self-priming and the risk of the pump to run dry. The risk of invisible air bubbles creating a vacuum area is very high. Damages which are caused by the pump running dry are excluded from warranty. To maximize the pump’s efficiency, choose a straight inlet tube without elbows (Pic. F). We suggest an Inlet and outlet tubes with diameter equal or bigger than the diameter of the threaded pipe included (Pic. G). Do not use the pump leaving the outlet totally closed. A minimum water flow is necessary to keep the inner motor cool without running dry (Pic. H). MAINTENANCE For the periodic maintenance of the pump, unplug the pump from the electric socket and then remove the pump from water. 1) Lift the plastic ring of the pump’s volute pulling the tab outwards (Pic. I). 2) Remove the ring (Pic. J). 3) Remove the volute of the pump by turning and simultaneously pulling forward (in the case of fouling this may take more pressure). 4) Pull out the complete rotor set (Pic. K).

5) Rinse each part with water, using a soft brush to remove the deposit. 6)

Then assemble everything in the inverse order. 7) Put the ring in place with the biggest teeth facing the pump and close it by pressing on the tab until you hear a “click”. (Pic. L). Any damage to the o-rings, even small, can seriously endanger the pump performance. In this case, it is best to replace them. IMPORTANT: The build-in circuit board of the pump has been programmed to provide 3 levels of protection: Protection against rotor’s blockage: In case of malfunction which causes the lock of the rotor (due to excessive dirt or other) or of operating without water, the pump, after 20 attempts to start, followed by a short interval of time, and other 20 attempts will stop automatically. If this does not happen, the pump will automatically go on standby, the electronic board will remain powered but the engine will shut down. In this case to restart the pump you need to remove and re-insert the plug into the power outlet. Dry running protection and thermal protection: motor’s protection in case of functioning without water. The pump stops when it works without water, or if there is a locked rotor. When the pump is taken out from the water, the motor stops. ATTENTION: do not underestimate the power of the magnet. If you slightly loose the grip and the axis hits the rear bearing, the risk to damage the bearing is very high. A damage axis and bearing causes high reparation costs.

Follow this instruction for an accurate rotor kit cleaning or replacing. Repeat the opening actions as indicate in Maintenance section, steps 1, 2, 3, 4. To easily remove the bottom bearing, we suggest to leave the pump submersed with water and vinegar for a while to soften debris or limestone. - Insert the hooks supplied inside the tube of the pump (Pic. M). Hook the bearing and pull it out. Clean the bearing under running water (never use soap or detergent of any kind because they pollute the aquarium water: we recommend using a vinegar and water solution) possibly using a soft brush to remove scale deposits. If it is heavily worn, we suggest to replaces it with a new one. Re-insert the bearing sleeve in the pump (Pic. M) after wetting and push it all the way.

TIPS FOR A LONGER LASTING

In case, after a first installation, the pump will not be used for over one week, we recommend to take the rotor assembly out of the pump, cleaning it throughly and store pump and rotor separately.
