USER MANUAL SolarMax 2500 UBBINK

This operating manual contains important information that will help you install your SolarMax 2500 Accu fountain pump. Please read the operating manual carefully before installing the solar unit and keep the manual somewhere safe.. Delivery contents

• The pump is designed to operate with direct current (DC). Never connect the pump to a power supply with alternating current (AC).

• Do not knock the solar module with your hands, tools or other objects. A damaged solar module cannot be repaired and must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner.

• Never open the casing of the device or any of its associated parts unless explicitly indicated in the instructions.

• The pump must not be operated without water as this may cause irreparable damage.

• This device is suitable for pumping water with a minimum temperature of 10°C up to a maximum of 40°C.

• The pump not designed for operation in salt water or for pumping drinking water.

• The device may be used by children from the age of 8 upwards and also by people with physical, sensory or mental disabilities or lacking suitable knowledge and experience, provided they are supervised or have been instructed in the use of the device and understand the resulting hazards. Children must not be allowed to play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

• If the solar module is set up without the module retainer, care must be taken to ensure adequate stability to prevent damage to the solar module.

• Keep children away from the packaging material and small parts. There is a risk of suocation!

• The battery box must not be placed in direct sunlight or water.

Installation and commissioning

1. Completely unroll the pump connecting cable.

2. Screw the adapter for the extension pipe on to the pump outlet.

3. Connect the appropriate number of extension pipes and attach the selected fountain jet. Attach the extension pipe and pipe adapter to the pump. Vulkan: Make sure the spray head is not positioned too far above the water surface to maximise the height of the Vulkan fountain. Water bell: The jet attachment should be placed well above the water surface. The size of the water bell can be adjusted by pressing down or lifting up the top part of the jet. The larger the gap for the water outlet, the smaller the water bell. Bubbler jet: Make sure that the six deector openings of the spray head are always under wa. 4. Place the pump in the pond. Avoid a position directly on the bottom of the pond, because here the pump will suck in a lot of dirt and become quickly soiled.

5. Put together the solar module retainer (pipes and earth spike) and then attach it to the back of the module.

6. Connect the battery box plug to the solar module and tighten the retaining ring.

Intended use This product is designed exclusively for private use in small garden ponds. Direct sunlight is necessary to operate the pump. The battery is charged by direct sunlight. The pump is switched on when the battery voltage is in the operational range. In darkness, the pump is supplied by the battery for up to several hours, depending on the charge level. The pumping capacity can be altered via a potentiometer. Electronic circuitry protects the battery from deep discharging, overcharging and short circuits. Caution! The plug connectors are protected from inverse polarity, so do not use force when connecting.Operating Manual – SolarMax 2500 Accu

Care and maintenance Solar module Dust, dirt and leaf deposits can build up on the solar module. You can remove these with a microbre cloth and glass cleaner. Solar pump Should the pump start to lose pumping capacity or after a period of time stop working, then please clean the pump as follows.

1) Disconnect the pump cable from the solar module.

2) Unlock the top and bottom parts of the pump housing by pressing the clasps on the two opposite sides of the housing and then lift o the top part of the housing (see Figs. 1 and 2)

3) Take out the pump and open the rotor cover by turning it anticlockwise (see Fig. 3)

4) Pull out the rotor from the rotor bay (see Fig. 4)

6) Clean and wash the individual components.

7) Reassemble the pump in reverse order

Caution! During cleaning, please be careful not to damage the ceramic shaft. It can be easily broken. Protect the pump and battery box from frost! The pump should not be operated during the cold winter months. Clean the pump with warm water and store the whole system in a frost-free place. The battery box should ideally be stored in a fully charged state.

7. Now connect the pump plug to the “OUTPUT 1 DC 18V” socket on the battery box.

8. Turn the “SYSTEM ON/OFF” switch to “ON”. The “SYSTEM” LED indicator lights up GREEN when the battery is charged and the pump can be switched on. Note: the “SYSTEM” LED indicator is a dual-colour LED. If the display lights up RED then the pump is not working, because the residual charge is insucient or the battery is being charged for the rst time. The battery is charged after less than one day of sunshine. During charging phase, the “CHARGING” LED indicator shows YELLOW, regardless of whether the system is switched on or o. The charging process ends automatically once the battery has been charged to its maximum capacity. The charging of the battery always has priority over operating the pump. Note The pump has a built-in dry running protection function. Two sensor points are provided on one side of the pump body (not visible from the outside). If one or both of the sensor points is not under the water, the pump will stop working.

9. Activate the output jack 1 (OUTPUT 1) by pressing the ON/OFF button. If the output

is switched on (ON) the LED indicator shows GREEN and the pump starts working. To stop the pump, switch o the output jack 1 by pressing the ON/OFF button.

10. The pump connected to the output jack 1 can be operated either in continuous

mode or interval mode with the “TIMER ON/OFF” button. - TIMER OFF continuous mode, i.e. interval mode is deactivated and the pump runs continuously. This mode is only available when the SYSTEM LED indicator is showing green. - TIMER ON interval mode, i.e. the pump operates for 10 minutes per hour. This mode is useful for saving battery capacity, e.g. on cloudy days.

11. Output jack 2 (OUTPUT 2) provides of 6 volt DC supply for optional

ancillary devices, for example, LED lighting. This jack does not have a timer function.

12. Place the solar module in a sunny, shadow-free place.

13. Ensure that the solar pump is always fully submerged in the water.

14. The SolarMax 2500 Accu fountain set is now ready for operation.Operating Manual – SolarMax 2500 Accu

Replacing the battery
