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.

Assembly
Operation with water feature
For operation with water feature, the device must be set up horizontally.
(→ Installation)
•At the side outlet of the branch valve you can additionally connect the hose of a
stream/water feature.
•Tighten the screw connections hand-tight.
Filtral UVC 400:
•Instead of a water feature, you can operate the device with a Venturi nozzle (op-
tionally available, 70364).
Filtral UVC 800, 1600:
•If you use the Venturi nozzle, guide the air hose along the nozzle tube and fix it in
the holder on the nozzle holder.
– The air hose must be able to suck in air, water must not penetrate.

AVERTISSEMENT
Dans l’eau, tout appareil électrique alimenté par une tension U > 12 VCA ou
U > 30 VCC peut entraîner des blessures graves voire mortelles dues à une tension
électrique dangereuse.
Avant toute immersion dans l’eau, débrancher l'appareil du réseau électrique.
Avant d’entamer tout travail sur l'appareil, débrancher ce dernier du réseau élec-
trique.
AVERTISSEMENT
En cas de raccordement non conforme de l'appareil à la terre, il existe un risque
d’électrocution.
L'appareil doit être mis à la terre afin qu'en cas de dysfonctionnement ou de panne, le
courant électrique soit évacué par la terre. Le risque d'électrocution est ainsi réduit.
Instructions concernant la mise à la terre :
L'appareil est doté d'un câble réseau pourvu d’une prise de terre et d’un connecteur
avec fiche de terre. Le connecteur doit être branché sur une prise électrique adap-
tée, installée et mise à la terre conformément aux prescriptions et réglementations
locales, et protégée par un disjoncteur FI (GFCI).
Ne pas apporter de modification au connecteur. Si le connecteur ne convient pas à
la prise, confier l’installation d'une prise adaptée à un électricien.
En cas de doutes concernant la mise à la terre correcte de l'appareil, s’adresser à un
électricien.
PRUDENCE
Le verre de quartz et la lampe UVC sont cassables et risquent de causer des blessures
par coupure.
Agir avec précaution lors des travaux sur le préclarificateur à UVC afin d'éviter
toute blessure par coupure.
Éviter de faire des secousses, des impacts ou des mouvements violents pour ne pas
briser le verre.
