Safety information
PfG has manufactured this unit to the current state of the art and the valid safety regulations. Despite of the above,
hazards for persons and assets can emanate from this unit if it is used in an improper manner or not in accordance
with its intended use, or if the safety instructions are ignored.
For safety reasons, children and young persons under 16 years of age as well as persons who cannot recog-
nise possible danger or who are not familiar with these operating instructions, are not permitted to use the
unit!
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place! Also hand over the operating instructions when passing the
unit on to a new owner. Ensure that all work with this unit is only carried out in accordance with these instructions.
The combination of water and electricity can lead to danger to life and limb, if the unit is incorrectly connected or
misused.
Attention! Dangerous ultra-violet radiation.
The radiation of the UVC lamp is dangerous to eyes and skin! For this reason, the unit can only be switched on with
the housing fitted (safety switch). Never operate the unit lamp outside of its housing. Never immerse the filter in water!
Always disconnect the power supply of these and all other units located in water prior to performing work on the units!
Only operate the units when plugged into an earthed socket. The latter must have been installed in accordance with
the valid national regulations. Ensure that the protective earth wire is led to the unit. Only use cables approved for
outside use. Never use installations, adapters, extension or connection cables without protective earth contact! The
cross section of power connection cables must not be smaller than the rubber cables identified with H05 RNF. Exten-
sion cables must meet DIN VDE 0620. Ensure that the units are supplied with a rated residual current of max. 30 mA
via a residual current-operating system (FI or RCD resp.). Electrical installations at garden ponds and swimming pools
must meet the international and national regulations valid for installers. Compare the electrical values of the power
supply with those on the type plate on the packaging or on the units. Protect the connection cable when burying to
avoid damage. Protect the plug connections and all connection points from moisture. Never operate the unit if the
cable or housing are defective! Disconnect the power! The power connection cables of these units cannot be replaced.
Replace the units (unit components) concerned if the cables are damaged. Do not carry or pull the units by their
connection cables. Never open the unit housings or their attendant components, unless this is explicitly mentioned in
the operating instructions. Never carry out technical changes to the units. Only use original spare parts and accesso-
ries for the units. Only allow authorised customer service outlets to perform repairs. For your own safety, consult a
qualified electrician if you have questions or encounter problems! Do not operate the units if persons are in the water!
Never run the units without water! Never use the pump for fluids other than water! Ensure that no leaks at the filter can
occur. Danger of completely emptying the pond.

Fit the UVC unit (A2)
Turn the unit head counter-clockwise against the stop, then carefully pull off. Push the two screws into the guides of
the UVC housing and fit the filter lid. Turn one washer and one nut each against the screws from below. Screw one
stepped hose connection with O ring each onto the UVC input and UVC output.
Fit a UVC lamp (E2-E6)
Unscrew the clamping screw from the UVC unit counter-clockwise, pull off the quartz glass including the O ring forward
by slightly turning, insert UVC lamp, refit the O ring on the quartz glass and push the glass into the unit head through to
the stop. Press the O ring into the gap between unit head and quartz glass. Screw in the clamping screw clockwise and
manually tighten. Position the large O ring in front of the recess at the unit head. Carefully push the unit head into the
housing while applying slight pressure. Ensure that the tenons at the housing engage in the grooves of the bayonet
closure. Turn the unit head clockwise against the stop while applying slight pressure (the two arrows on the housing
and the unit head meet). Note: If the unit head cannot be completely pushed on, check that the clamping screw is fully
