4 Installation
Please always check if the voltage on the sticker of the
electronic box matches with the plug type and your electricity
network before installation. Please contact your dealer
immediately if this is not the case.

4.1 Installation of the electronic box
The electronic box should be attached to a wall, with the cables facing
downwards.
1) Remove the design strips on the sides of the box by carefully
pulling them on both sides.
2) Mark the fixing holes from the electronic box at the place
where the box is to be mounted. Drill four corresponding
holes into the wall.
3) Insert the four supplied screws into the fixing holes of the
e-box.
4) Mount the electronic box to the wall with the supplied screws.
5) Carefully place the design strips back at the sides of the box.
Make sure the connectors and wires always point down.
Always install the e-Box in such a way that it is protected
from direct sunlight and rain. Use a separate enclosure if necessary.

1. Determine the optimal location
of the transducer:
a. Where as much of the water surface
comes into direct contact with the sound
waves
b. Where the front of the unit follows the
water current and/or wind direction (for
larger water surfaces above 5-10m )
c. Where there are no corners outside the
reach of the transducer, as this will greatly
reduce the effectiveness of the device
d. With its backside as close to the water
edge as possible
2. Place the transmitter in the
water
3 Ensure that the transmitter is
always completely below water
surface
4 Always ensure a horizontal
position of the transmitter

EN
The transducer transforms the electrical signals produced by the
electronic box into ultrasonic sound signals. These signals are
inaudible. The transducer is a very sensitive instrument that
needs to be handled with the greatest care.
The ultrasonic sound waves are issued by the transducer in a
180 degrees spread from the front of the machine. The device
needs to be placed in such a manner that as much of the water
surface as possible comes into direct contact with the sound
waves. The strongest ultrasonic signals are those that come
straight out of the transducer.
4.2 Installation of the E-Transmitter
180
*
Dark area remains untreated
*

All the LG Sonic products are provided with a float.
This float ensures that the transducer always remains in a
position of about 20 cm horizontally below water surface. In this way the
sound waves will be reflected when they touch the water surface. The
sound will be more efficiently spread throughout the whole water reservoir
The first 20 cm of the water column is where the highest floating algae
(unicellular) concentrations can be found, especially during day time.
The float should be secured by means of a pole/spear or rope.
By means of a pole
LG SONIC
By means of a rope.
Use multiple transducers when the water surface cannot be covered with one
transducer
a. Never place the transducers facing each other
b. Never use multiple units if one unit can suffice
c. It is advised to contact your dealer for advise on the usage of multiple
units
For free placement assistance email us at [email protected]. Make
sure that you have a site-plan with the accurate dimensions and
configurations of your water reservoir.
