Information for use
sera CO
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future use.
Application range and advantages
In combination with a timer, the sera CO
noid valve for auto switch off 1.6 VA (Watt)
precisely regulates CO
night or at any other time. It is suitable for
installation into present and new pH controlled
CO
fertilizing systems. A CO
2
ducing valve must be installed between the
sera CO
solenoid valve and the CO
2
tle
.

The advantages of the sera CO
valve:
• High quality precision technology – robust
and long lived
• Easy set up
• Quiet and unobtrusive
• Low electricity consumption
• Low heat dissipation ensures long life
• High pressure stability
• Suitable for all common CO
tems
Connection to CO
The solenoid valve can be connected to plastic
hoses with 4 mm internal and 6 mm external
diameter on the intake and outlet nozzles (see
flow direction mark on the valve).
Remove the screw caps
so, and push them onto the hoses. Then push
the hoses firmly onto the hose nozzles. Secure
the hoses against sliding off by screwing on the
screw caps firmly, thus fastening the hoses
Proper hose fastening is important as the CO
gas will otherwise escape quickly. Therefore
make sure the hoses on the solenoid valve noz-
zles are not worn out.

Due to its low electricity consumption of 1.6 VA
(Watt), only little heat is developed. Therefore
sole-
you may, for example, simply put the solenoid

valve into the aquarium cabinet.
Connection to a pressure reducer (
Please observe the information for use of the
gas bot-
corresponding unit when using the sera CO
solenoid valve behind a pressure reducer.
When combined with the sera flore CO
solenoid
sure reducer, the sera CO
may only be connected to the solenoid valve by
a hose.
Please note that the screw connectors are
glued in many pressure reducers. Loosening
these connectors may affect operational safety.
Operation
The CO

2 bar is present at the sera CO
Now connect the sera CO
timer. Set the timer clock according to the
desired CO
with a quiet clicking sound.
