Installation and connection
Important: If the planned installation deviates significantly from the recommendations contained in this
manual:
Have your specialist retailer check whether all technical specifications were adhered to. This is crucial
►
for a problem-free operation.
4.1
Installation planning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injuries caused by electric shock from electrical units
operated in or near water.
Protective measures for accessible ponds:
►
Only use electrical units or installations with a rated voltage of U
►
Electrical installations with a rated voltage of U
of at least 2 m from the water.
Protective measures for non-accessible ponds:
Electrical installations with a rated voltage of UAC > 12 V or UDC > 30 V must be located at a distance
►
of at least 2 m from the water.
Note:
Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.
The unit weighs more than 25 kg (→ Technical Data).
Note!
The filter system operates day and night and causes rinsing noises during the automatic cleaning
cycles. (→ Technical data)
Please protect the general public and your neighbourhood from noise disturbance and comply with
►
the statutory noise regulations.
The filter system can be enclosed such that the enclosure effectively absorbs the noises.
►
Select the location of the filter system in order to avoid noise disturbance.
►
Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account,
you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
The filter system starts the cleaning cycles automatically - day and night. These cleaning cycles cause
►
noise emissions (→ Technical data).
►
As the filter module is very heavy when filled, it must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs,
but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from subsiding.
Horizontally align the base slab.
►
The filter system must be horizontally positioned (max. deviation d ± 5 mm).
−
Tip: Use commercially available concrete slabs, each measuring 500 × 500 mm. One concrete slab
−
is required for the operation of the filter system on its own; four concrete slabs are required for
operation of the filter system together with the ProfiClear Classic modules.
Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
►
►
Drain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into
the pond.
−
If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least DN
110 pipes.
Position the inlet in the pond (e.g. via a water course or waterfall) so that it is lower than the outlet of
►
the filter system.
Note:
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond.
In this way, the filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.
