Correct Electrical Installation; Safe Operation; Protective Measures - Pontec MultiClear Set 15000 Instrucciones De Uso

Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity
 The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
connected or misused.
 Prior to reaching into the water, always switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.

Correct electrical installation

 Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
 A person is regarded as a qualified electrician if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regula-
tions.
 For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
 The device may only be connected if the electrical data of the device and the power supply coincide. The device data
is to be found on the device type plate, on the packaging or in this manual.
 Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
 Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
 Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
 Protect the plug connections from moisture.
 Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

 Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
 Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
 Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.
 Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
 Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
 Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
 Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
 The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
 Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
 The unit, the connections and plugs are not water-proof and must not be routed or installed in water.
 Keep the socket and power plug dry.
 Only operate the unit with the filter pump that is part of the scope of delivery.
 Ensure that the filter will not overflow. Danger of emptying the pond.
Installation
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.

Protective measures:

 Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water:
Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into
the water.
 Isolate the unit before starting any work.
 Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.
 A
PfG recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar.
Cut the stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincides with the hose diameter. This helps avoid
pressure loss.
Ensure that the unit is placed at a flood protected place and on firm ground. Keep a minimum distance from the pond
edge of 2 m. Ensure unrestricted access to the cover to be able to carry out work on the unit. (A1)
Push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose adapter, secure with the hose clip, then screw the stepped hose adapter
on the water inlet (A2).
Ensure that the drain pipes for the water return (A4) are laid towards the pond with a suitable incline (>1 %). PfG rec-
ommends to return the clean water into the pond via a water course to additionally enrich the water with oxygen.
