Gardena PF 10000 S Operating Instructions Manual page 4

Mains power cables should not have a smaller
cross-section than a rubber sheathed cable of
the designation H05 RNF.
Extension cables must meet the requirements
of DIN VDE 0620.
The information on the model plate of the
UVC unit must match the power supply.
The connection cable of the UVC-unit and the
pump cannot be replaced.
If the cable is damaged the UV unit must be
scrapped.
Do not use extension leads, connection leads
or adaptors without a protective contact.
The pump must not be operated when there
are people in the water.
Swimming pools and garden ponds should
be designed according to international and
national design regulations.
v Please ask your electrician for advice.
Never carry the UVC-unit and the pump by the
cable. Do not pull on the cable to unplug the
plug from the socket.
Please protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Make sure that connection
points remain dry.
Always unplug the equipment when dis-
mantling the set, when it is not in use and
before maintenance.
v Always disconnect the UVC unit and the
pump from the mains before undertaking
any work.
For Austria
In Austria power cables should correspond to
ÖVE-EM 42, T 2 (2000) /1979 § 22 according
to § 2022.1. According to this standard units
used in swimming pools and ponds should
only be operated via an isolating transformer.
v Please contact your electrician.
For Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a
residual-current device.
Note :
Operation of the pressure filter is only
allowed with pumps to a max. operating
pressure (see Technical Data). When using
a pump with a higher operating pressure,
the filter can leak, leading to the pond
emptying.
Do not subject the pressure filter to direct
sunlight and secure against falling in.
Never operate the UVC unit without water
throughput.
Never let the pump run dry; running
dry generates heat and will damage
the pump.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause increased wear and reduce the
output of the pump.
The temperature of the liquid used must not
be below 4 °C or above 35 °C.
Safety switch :
If the UVC light overheats, it is switched off
by the built-in thermal protection switch.
The UVC light switches itself on again
automatically when it has cooled down
sufficiently.
Due to the integrated safety switch the lamp
only comes on when the UVC unit is properly
installed.
Positioning the filter :
v Stand or bury the filter housing in a stable
position at least 2 m away, next to the
garden pond.
The filter output must be positioned higher
than the surface of the pond.
Bacterial Activity :
The filter system is a biological system and
therefore, when newly installed, needs a few
weeks until it is fully effective.
If possible, the filter should be in permanent
operation from spring to autumn and should
not dry out.
