Control system connection
The
AquaAir Eco 250 is controlled via the OASE control network. For this
purpose you can connect the
AquaAir Eco 250 either to the OASE Garden
Controller
or to the OASE InScenio FM-Master Home/Cloud. For infor-
mation on OASE Control visit www.oase.com.

Installation and connection
Assembling the unit
B
•Screw the injector nozzle onto the pump outlet.
•Attach the hose ends to the connection sockets on the injector nozzle and on the float.
– Fasten the hose with the hose clips.
Adjusting the injector nozzle
C
•Undo the knurled screw for locking the drum.
•Turn the drum until the injector nozzle is in the desired position.
•Tighten the knurled screw.
To optimize the effect of the injector nozzle, note the specified minimum distances from
the bottom of the pond.
−When the injector nozzle is directed downwards towards to the bottom of the pond, it
generates deep aeration, thereby biologically activating the pond sludge.
−When the injector nozzle is directed at a flatter angle, it generates a stronger water flow.

Connecting the control system
D
Connect the AquaAir Eco 250 to the OASE Garden Controller or the OASE InScenio FM-Master
Home/Cloud and control the AquaAir Eco 250 using OASE Control.
•For information on OASE Control visit www.oase.com.
Integrate the AquaAir Eco 250 in the OASE Control network either as the only or as the final
station.
−The line length in the OASE Control network is limited. If the network cable is looped
through (IN/OUT) on the AquaAir Eco 250 the network cable can reach a length of 197 ft
due to the 98 ft network connection cable.
Connecting and disconnecting the OASE Control plug connection
E
NOTE
The unit will be destroyed if water penetrates the plug connector.
•Connect the plug connector or place the protective cap on the plug connector.
– Ensure that the rubber seal is clean and fits precisely. If the rubber seal is damaged, replace
it.
– Secure the plug connector or protective cap with the two screws.
Installing the unit
F
WARNING
Severe injuries or death from operation of the unit in a swimming pond. Faulty electric compo-
nents will apply dangerous electric voltage to the water.
Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.
Ensure that the connection to the power supply is at least 6.5 ft from the edge of the pond.
Fastening the unit on the side of the pond
G
•Shorten two wire cables to the desired length.
•Form loops at each of the cable ends and fasten these with cable clamps.
•Anchor the aerator using the two wire cables, the safety hook and the two pegs driven in at
the side of the pond.
– Adhere to the specified anchoring angles so that the aerator cannot move.
•Relieve strain from the power cable and protect the power plug from wetness.

Fastening the unit to the bottom of the pond
H
•Shorten two wire cables to the desired length (minimum 16.5 ft).
•Form loops at each of the cable ends and fasten these with cable clamps.
•For anchoring to the bottom of the pond, screw the two threaded hooks into, for instance,
two sufficiently heavy stones using dowels.
•Attach the cables to the threaded hooks using the safety hooks and lower the stones to the
bottom of the pond.
–Adhere to the specified anchoring angles so that the aerator cannot move.
•Anchor the aerator using the two wire cables and the safety hook.
•Relieve strain from the power cable and protect the power plug from wetness.
Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical compo-
nents.
Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
NOTE
Never allow the pump to run dry. Otherwise the pump will be destroyed.
Only operate pump while it is submerged.
Switching ON/OFF
•Switching on:Plug the power plug into the outlet.
–The unit switches on immediately.
•Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental
Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / blocked or submerged. The pump
switches off automatically after approx. 90 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a
malfunction, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. After-
wards, the unit can be restarted.
