Function description
The core component of the Abyzz pump is a three-phase synchronous motor
driven by sine waves. The efficiency factor of the motor is more than 90%,
meaning that it is one of the most efficient motors available. Integrated bearing
flushing provides optimum protection against calcination and ensures low-
maintenance operations.
The materials used are designed to have a long lifetime and meet the highest
requirements and quality standards. Our products are developed and
manufactured in Germany. Thus, they deserve this label:
"Made in Germany"
The electronic control unit has optimum operating properties. In particular, these
properties include the following:
- Variable speed range (0 - 100%)
- Programmable control unit
- Dry run protection
- Soft startup
- Bus-enabled interface*
- Lockable plug contacts
- Temperature protection
- Overcurrent protection
- Current limitation
- Low-noise operation
- Long lifetime
- Minimal power loss (especially low loss of heat into water).
* except IPX variants!

Abyzz peripheral devices and connection options
The Abyzz connecting cable required for the connection of peripheral devices
forms part of the scope of delivery of the pump*. If you do not use any peripheral
devices, please secure both connections using the provided caps to prevent
corrosion and the penetration of dust.
Abyzz control system (ACS):
The ACS allows you to control several (currently up to 8) Abyzz pumps. You can
program in different profiles to generate waves, tides, or other flow patterns, for
example.
In addition, the ACS allows you to centrally operate and monitor all bus-enabled
Abyzz products. For example, operating data, alarms, temperatures, and so on are
displayed centrally on the ACS display.
There are two D-sub connectors on the bottom of the Abyzz A200 pump driver for
this purpose. The connection labelled "Master" is always connected in the direction
of the ACS and the connection labelled "Slave" is always connected in the
direction of the next Abyzz pump.
Abyzz interface (AInt):
The Abyzz interface allows you to integrate your Abyzz pumps into existing control
systems (PLC, aquarium computer, etc.).
They simply require a 0 - 10 V output. Once the Abyzz interface is connected up,
the internal programming of the driver is deactivated and the speed of the pump is
regulated using the set direct current voltage. The pump's monitoring and
protection functions and the display of operating data remain activated but the
driver keyboard is deactivated.
If you are interested in this component, please contact your specialist dealer.
* except IPX variants!

Proper use and general information
This product is intended for the conveyance of fluids (seawater,
freshwater, brackwater, chlorine water, and other non-aggressive
fluids with a temperature of +2ºC to +40ºC. The appendix includes
a list of parts that come into contact with the medium being
conveyed; in the case of media not specified above, please check
the compatibility of the medium being used with the specified components prior to
use.
The product can convey clean water or dirty water with a particle size of up to
1mm. If using dirty water, you must regularly clean the pump and use a preliminary
filter to protect it. In particular, clean the internal flushing channel. Abrasive
components increase the wear rate. Resulting damage is not covered by the
guarantee.
The pump is not a self-priming pump and must therefore always be installed
below the water level.
Please observe all generally valid national and international requirements when
installing the pump.
The maximum working pressure may not exceed 1.2 bar.
Prior to being placed into storage, the product must be thoroughly cleaned with
freshwater and appropriate cleaning agents (e.g. vinegar), since otherwise residue
might settle inside.
During use, please make sure that the intake duct is sufficiently protected to
prevent animals or foreign objects reaching the pump and causing damage.
When laying the piping, make sure that there is sufficient compensation of
temperature fluctuations in the pipes.
Use a sufficiently large pipe diameter (an internal diameter of at least 40 mm on
the intake side and of at least 30 mm on the pressure side).!

protected from splashes of water and damp. A suitable power outlet should be
available at an appropriate distance.
Modelle IPX 200 und IPX 400
The driver may be mounted outside or in wet surroundings. Please use the drill
template and the mounting set for wall mounting.
Wiring:
When laying the wires, make sure that no drips of water can reach the electronics
via the wires.
Please note that due to the driver switch-on current, you must not switch on
multiple drivers on the same fuse at the same time. Do not use multi-socket strips
and do not exceed the permitted connected load of your supply line under any
circumstances.
Ambient temperatur and cooling:
The product can be used at ambient temperatures of between 2°C and +40°C.
To ensure sufficient cooling, the driver should be at least 20
cm away from any other objects (walls, ceilings, cable
ducts, pipes etc.). The cooling element must not be
covered. We recommend that you do not expose the driver
to any additional heat source (heating system, lighting,
sunlight) and ensure sufficient ventilation if using it in
cupboards or on racks..!

Installation of pump
The Abyzz pump can be immersed to a depth of 2 metres or installed in a dry
position.*
On the intake side, make sure that the water can flow in freely and protect the
intake by means of a screen suitable for keeping coarse particles, sand, filter
cotton fibres etc.) away from the impeller wheel. When laying the piping, make
sure that there is at least 20cm of straight pipe on the intake side to allow the
water to enter on a straight course. This measurement optimizes the product's
efficiency and significantly reduces noise. For even more efficiency, use sufficient
pipe diameters for large pipe systems (recommended: 63mm on the intake side,
50mm on the pressure side).
When using adhesive fittings, use an adhesive suitable for ABS and PVC.
*except A200AS, which can be used only submerged!

Installation outside pond:
Find a suitable installation location where there will not be too much of a loss of
power as a result of bends, corners, and the running of cables. Wherever possible,
use bends instead of sharp corners and connect the pump as flexibly as possible
with flexible connection parts (e.g. suitable silicone house from a specialist dealer)
in order to prevent connection line vibrations, which might result in leaks on
screwed or adhesive joints over time.
These measures are optimum precautions for ensuring trouble-free, low-noise
operations.
Installation in pond:
Place the pump in the filter sump and connect it to your piping system as flexibly
as possible to prevent noise and vibrations.
Commissioning
Once it has been properly installed, the Abyzz pump can be placed into operation.
To do so, connect the motor connection cable with the driver. The plug is coded
and can only be connected in one position. The plug used meets the highest
impermeability and safety standards. Screw the plug together to safeguard these
properties. Connect the Abyzz mains cable with the driver, plug the mains cable
into a suitable earth wall socket, and switch on the mains switch (see fig. 1a).
The LED flashes. You can start and stop the pump in any operating mode by
pressing the start/stop button.
If the pump is running dry at more than a third of its output, the dry run protection
function is activated. This function switches the pump off and reports a fault
("DRYRUN!"). After a few seconds, the pump starts up again automatically and,
the dry run fault being rectified, begins working again.
Run-in phase
Despite our best efforts, small production tolerances cannot be avoided when
manufacturing the bearings. Their condition can cause noise during the pump run-
in phase. However, this is normal, and does not pose a problem in the long term.
During the device test following production, the power, concentricity, and noise
development of all pumps is tested. The run-in phase can last several days
depending on the operating mode. Figure 3 clearly shows the difference between a
bearing that has come straight from the factory (left) and a bearing following the
run-in phase (right): Following the run-in phase, these operating noises practically
disappear.

Maintenance
Caution - extremely strong magnetic field!
- Risk of death to people with pacemakers!
- Keep the impeller away from pacemakers, credit cards, data carriers, or
similar objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields.
- Risk of injury due to body parts becoming trapped.
- Do not place any metallic parts near to the impeller.
Abyzz pumps are practically maintenance-free if used properly.
If the flow rate drops, there may be particles of dirt that need to be removed in the
impeller wheel. Also, slight vibrations can be an indication that the impeller wheel
is dirty.
To clean it, separate the pump head from the motor (4 screws on the front, see fig.
4) and remove the impeller component from the pump housing (fig. 5a).
