AQUA FORTE Power UV-C T5-40 WATT Mode D'emploi page 4

Power UV-C T5 40.000 & 75.000
Before installing this device, please read the instructions very carefully.
Function
The Power UV-C T5 lamps generate UV-C radiation at a wavelength of
254 nm, which has a bactericidal action.
• Power UV-C T5 device with stainless steel interior
• Up to 35% higher UV-C output due to reflection
• Protects your fish against germs
• Controls the growth of fungi, bacteria and algae
• Cleans pond water without the use of chemicals
• Makes the pond water clear again
• Safe and good for your fish
• This Power UV-C T5 device is earthed
This Power UV-C T5 device ensures a clear pond with healthy fish. The pond water is
pumped through the Power UV-C T5 device, where it is exposed to UV-C radiation at
a wavelength of 254 nanometres. The radiation is produced by a special light, which
ensures that germs and bacteria are not given the opportunity to develop. The water is
exposed to an extra long radiation time, thanks to the length of the device. Furthermore,
the stainless steel interior reflects the UV-C radiation, which increases efficiency by up
to 35%. The stainless steel interior is electrolytically polished, so that practically no dirt
particles can adhere to the surface and the full power of reflection is retained. During
the frost-free period the device is used 24 hours a day, so as to achieve an optimal result.
Thanks to this Power UV-C T5 device your pond water will become clear within 14 days
and your fish will be in peak condition.
Safety
• This device produces dangerous radiation. Direct contact can be dangerous to the
eyes and the skin. Therefore, always check the operation of the Power UV-C T5 lamp
only via the transparent attachments on the unit.
• Do not use the device if any parts are damaged (the quartz glass in particular).
• Switch off if there is no water passing through the device.
• The electricity safety regulations must be applied if the device is to be permanently
attached to the electrical mains. If in doubt about the installation please contact a
professional electrician or your electricity supply company.
• Remove the device during the winter months, when there is a danger of frost.
• The cable of this device is not replaceable. In the event of damage to the cable the
whole device must be destroyed.
• The lamp will remain warm for about 10 minutes after the device is switched off.
• The electric ballast must be installed dry so it is protected against (rain)water.
Earthing installation (drawing 1)
1. The cable (B) must be pulled through the strain relief (E) before installing the strain
relief (E) onto the bolt (A). You do this by positioning the strain relief (E) at about
10cm from the end of the earthing cable (B).
2. Position the end ring (C) of the cable (B) over the bolt (A) which comes out of the
housing.
3. Then position a serrated washer (D), fasten the strain relief (E) on top so that a a loop
of Ø 5cm is created, and then again a serrated washer (F).
4. Finally, position the locking nut (G) on the bolt (A).
5. If the various screws have been positioned in the correct sequence on the earthing
bolt (A) then this can be tightened with an open-ended spanner or a ring spanner
number 8. Make sure that it is not over-tightened because this can break the strain
relief. (The transparent nut, which is screwed onto the bolt by delivery, has no longer
a function and can be discarded).
Installation (drawing 2)
This device must never be put in the water. Always install outside the pond. Switch the
device off when administering medication.
1. Fit the unit with the three-piece couplings (I) in the circuit.
2. Fit the unit with the pipe clips (O) (supplied with the set) at a permanent installation
point and tighten the three-piece coupling (I).
3. Fit the lamp (K) in the white lamp holder (L); than slide the lamp (K) carefully into the
