Installation, Assembly, Connection - Conrad Electronic 57 11 26 Operating Instructions Manual

8. Installation, assembly, connection

When in doubt about how to assemble the device correctly, please contact an EXPERT or a
specialist workshop and let them carry it out !
Incorrect assembly involves various dangers such as short-circuit, electric shock or fire.
Take note of the safety instructions included in this operating manual (see chapter 5).
• The hose fitting piece included in the delivery can be fastened onto the upper side at the outlet of the clear water
pump. Depending on whether you wish to mount a hose directly (secure with hose binder) or via a screw thread,
make sure to shorten the fitting accordingly first (use an appropriate saw).
• The clear water pump can be immersed in water up to a depth of 7m. The clear water pump is protected according
to IP68. The delivery height is max. 7m.
With outer temperatures below 0°C, the water freezes in the clear water pump, thus destroying the
latter. Therefore, with temperatures below 0°C, the clear water pump must be removed from the liquid
to be pumped and must be emptied. Afterwards, the clear water pump must be cleaned.
• A retainer via which the clear water pump can be fastened, for ex. with an appropriate rope, is located on the upper
side of the clear water pump.
The clear water pump must never be fastened via the power cord or the hose (e.g. to lift it up from the
well).
Fastening the pump by the power cord damages the latter; danger for life through electric shock!
Fastening the pump via the hose can cause the pump to slip off, thus damaging the power cord,
• The clear water pump must always be operated exactly upright. Otherwise, the float switch can seize inside the
housing.
• Install the clear water pump in a way that prevents impurities floating on the water (for ex. leaves) from penetrating
into the suction openings, thus blocking the latter. This might also cause the drive to be blocked or might hinder
the float switch in its function.
The max. grain size for impurities is 3mm.
Place the clear water pump for example on a flat stone (concrete stone), to prevent it from standing in a dirt layer
(e.g. in a pond).
• Use an appropriate pressure-resistant water hose, as well as an appropriate connection and link piece. Do not
use a siphon pipe.
