Correct electrical installation
− Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
− A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.
− For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
− The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
− Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
− Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the identifi-
cation H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
− Protect the plug connections from moisture.
Safe operation
− Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
− Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
− Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.
− Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
− Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
− Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
− Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
− The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
Important! The unit is equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnetic field may affect the function of pace-
makers.
Installation
Only use the unit in horizontal position and with the filter housing in place. Ensure that the unit will never runwithout
water!
Always place the unit below water level.
Start-up
Attention! The pump must never run dry.
Possible consequence: The pump will be destroyed.
Protective measure: Check the water level at regular intervals. Always place the unit below water level.
This is how to connect the power supply:
Only operate the unit in conjunction with the Solarsafe solar module from OASE.
The unit switches on automatically when connected to power (OASE special plug).
Prior to this observe the following operating steps: Fit the unit as an individual unit (A) or with the separate filter (B),
place the unit in a suitable position in the pond , and position the pre-filter suitably if required, then connect to the
power supply (solar modules, Solarsafe, all 12 Volt). The unit is now operational.
Installation
Aquarius Solar can be installed in two versions (A+B), unit with filter wings attached, or with filter wings removed. Fit
the water feature hose to connection (A3) which can be regulated, and the OASE spotlight to connection (A4).
