Safety information

OASE 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.
Installation, assembly (A)
Oase 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 %). Oase
recommends to return the clean water into the pond via a water course to additionally enrich the water with oxygen.
An optional adapter set is available for the cleaning outlet (A3). For this purpose, remove the cover cap from the
cleaning outlet. Push the union nut over the hose, slide the stepped hose adapter without thread onto the hose end
and secure with the hose clip. Connect the stepped hose adapter with union nut and flat seal to the cleaning outlet.
Push the stepped hose adapter with thread onto the other hose end, secure with the hose clip and screw on the cover
cap including flat seal. Lay the hose with a suitable incline (>1 %) towards the sewage system or to a flower bed.
Start-up (B)
Important: Adhere to the safety information given above! Check the correct seating of hoses and cover cap prior to
starting up. Never operate the UVC clarifying unit without water.
Switch on the pump and wait until the filter housing is filled with water. Check all connections for leaks.
Connect the power plug of the UVC clarifying unit, the blue control lamp is lit. In the event of overheating, the tempera-
ture monitor switches the UVC clarifying unit off automatically, the UCF clarifying unit automatically switches on again
once it has cooled down.
Note: After a new installation, the unit only reaches its full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. The full effect
on bacteria is only reached as from a water temperature of + 10 °C.
Switch the UVC clarifying unit off
Disconnect the power supply to switch off the unit.
