ENGLISH
Installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter:
1. mount the fluorescent lamp,
2. screw out the plug at the bottom of the FZKN filter container (fig.), according
to the „OUT" arrow,
3. remove the quartz cover (7) along with the fitting (10) mounted in it and the fluore-
scent lamp (8) from the lamp housing (6), insert in the opening in the bottom of the
FZKN container and screw it in until refusal according to the „IN" arrow (fig.), to
the position shown in figure  (other wise the fluorescent lamp will not work)
4. from the inside of the FZKN container install the UV sterilizer cover, paying atten-
tion to its proper, vertical placement.
Upon application of the UV sterilizer inside a FZKN filter, the sterilizer housing (6) is
not needed. Its tasks (prevention of propagation of harmful UV-C radiation and inten-
sification of sterilizer action by the quartz mirror) are taken over here by the standard
in FZKN filters UV sterilizer cover, which was not needed before.
After connecting the sterilizer to the power supply, phosphorescence shows on lower
fragments of the filter housing through the transparent container wall (fig.), signa-
ling operation of the fluorescent lamp.
LAUNCH AND USAGE
Following the above preparations, you should first turn on the pump cooperating with
the sterilizer. If the sterilizer is located outside the aquarium, check tightness of the
connections, and in case of leaks seal up. Only after stabilizing the water flow should
the sterilizer be turned on.
NOTE: do not cover the plug stabilizer.
Operation of the fluorescent lamp may be checked only in assembled condition:
phosphorescence reflected on internal surfaces of the housing (6) or – in case of
installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter: the sterilizer cover – is visible at the inlet
and outlet openings – regardless of whether the stub pipes (5) are mounted or not.
This phosphorescence will be visible through the transparent stub pipes also later,
during normal operation of the sterilizer. [The manner or verification in FZKN filters
is shown in figure ].
NOTE: In a FZKN filter it is not allowed to use the UV sterilizer without the cover!
UV-C radiation!
The operation cycle of the sterilizer should be determined experimentally, initially
operating it for several hours a week. After the lapse of the planned period of opera-
tion, turn off the UV sterilizer by pulling the plug from the power supply socket.
MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
OF FLUORESCENT LAMP
For efficient operation of the sterilizer, it should be cleaned every several weeks (e.g.
When doing maintenance on the filter or aquarium pump) performing the following
actions:
1. disconnect the device and the pump cooperating with it from the power supply by
pulling the plugs from the sockets,
2. disconnect the device from the waster circulation and remove any water rema-
ining in it,
3. remove the fitting with the fluorescent lamp by turning the fitting grip (10) accor-
ding to the „OUT" arrow (fig.),
4. carefully remove the quartz cover (7), turning it according to the „OUT" arrow
(fig.), (in case of installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter – fig.) and rinse it
under running water and carefully wipe dry – particularly its internal side,
5. screw out the stub pipes (5) and stopper (3), remove the gaskets (4) from them,
and carefully clean under running water,
6. clean the housing (or sterilizer cover in a FZKN filter),
NOTE: inside the cover (6) and in a fragment of the UV sterilizer cover in a FZKN
filter there is a quartz glass mirror in the shape of a sleeve, with which particular
care should be exercised when cleaning the housing (cover). Do not scratch, and
use only a brush for cleaning bottles in order not to damage the mirror! In case the
mirror breaks, replace the entire housing (cover).
7. assemble the device in reverse order, all gaskets must be properly placed in their
groove and greased with Vaseline, and the fluorescent lamp must be inserted all
the way into the fitting until refusal.
When the UV-C fluorescent lamp does not work, replace it as follows:
1. disconnect the device by pulling the plug from the power supply socket
2. disconnect the device from the water circulation, remove any remaining water
inside and wipe dry
3. turn the fitting grip (10) clockwise, according to the „OUT" arrow (fig.),
4. remove the fitting,
5. remove the fluorescent lamp from the fitting and press a new one in until locked,
NOTE: Do not touch the glass of the fluorescent lamp; remove possible marks
with a dry cloth
6. place the fitting (10) along with the mounted fluorescent lamp (8) in the housing
(otherwise the fluorescent lamp will not work).
Replacement of UV-C fluorescent lamp of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter:
1. disconnect the sterilizer and filter from power supply by pulling the plugs from the
sockets,
2. drain water from the filter (following the operating instructions of the FZKN filter),
3. remove the quartz cover (7) along with the fitting (10) and fluorescent lamp (8), by
turning it according to the „OUT" arrow (fig.),
4. wipe the quartz cover (7) dry and remove the fitting (10) along with the fluorescent
lamp (8) from it,
5. remove the fluorescent lamp from the fitting and press a new one in until locked
NOTE: Do not touch the glass of the fluorescent lamp; remove possible marks
with a dry cloth
6. assemble the device in reverse order.
