5 Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical com-
ponents.
•Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
Switching on
The pump must be connected to the controller before the controller is switched on.
•First connect the controller to the mains supply, then switch on the pump at the controller.
Switching off
•Switch the pump off at the controller.
– Disconnect the controller from the mains before performing any work on the unit.
When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental Func-
tion 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, dis-
connect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be
restarted.

Undervoltage
•Keep extension cable to the pump as short as
possible.
−The voltage to the pump is too low due to
the voltage drop in long cables.
•Use extension cable to the pump with greater
conductor cross-section
−The voltage to the pump is too low due to
the voltage drop in cables with too small of a
conductor cross-section.
8 Maintenance and cleaning
TIP
Recommendation regarding cleaning:
•Clean the unit as required but at least twice a year.
•When cleaning the pump, pay particular attention to the cleaning of the impeller unit and
pump housing.
•In the event of the filter housing capacity reducing, clean the unit under running water using a brush.
