Electrical installation
The power supply must meet the specifications on the product.
The pump is intended to be used with either a weather-proof
cable connector or permanently connected to the fixed wiring
in the main system other than by means of a plug and socket.
The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.
The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body.
If the supply cable is damaged the pump must not be used.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.
WARNING - THIS PUMP MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also know as the Residual
Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA must be installed in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation
of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
INSTALLATION
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations
of the local electricity authority and this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit
to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning the installation
of your pond pump (i.e. local building regulations).
These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact
with the water.
Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being installed,
repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt about
wiring this product to the main supply.
Warning - The Minipond pump is provided with a thermal
cut out that temporarily switches off the pump in case of
overheating and the pump may automatically restart.
