WARNING
Serious injury or death due to dangerous electrical voltage is possible with an electri-
cal device in water operated with a voltage U > 12 V AC or U > 30 V DC.
Disconnect the unit from the mains before reaching into the water.
Disconnect the unit from the mains before you start working on it.
WARNING
There is a risk of electric shock if the unit's grounding conductor is not connected
properly.
The unit must be grounded to ensure that in the event of a malfunction or break-
down, the electric current is discharged through the grounding and the risk of electric
shock is reduced.
Grounding instructions:
The unit is equipped with a power cord with a grounding conductor and a plug
with a grounding pin. The plug must be plugged into a appropriate outlet that is
installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances and is pro-
tected by a ground circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Do not modify the plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, consult a qualified
electrician for installation of a proper outlet.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the unit is
properly grounded.
CAUTION
The quartz glass and UVC lamp could break and result in cuts.
Carry out all work on the UVC clarifier carefully to avoid cutting injuries.
Avoid vibrations, impacts and hectic movements to prevent the breaking of glass.
