Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
Sensitive electrical components. Incorrect connection will destroy the unit.
• Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
OASE recommends the use of BioKick (OASE filter starter bacteria):
– For the initial start-up
– After manual cleaning of the foam filters
– After fitting new foam filters
– When recommissioning following a storage period/over-wintering
Prior to using filter starter bacteria ("Filter starter"), operate the unit for approx. 24 hours without switching on the UVC
unit. If you do not use filter starter bacteria, commissioning can start directly with the "Fitting connections" step.
How to proceed:
• Open the container (Cleaning and maintenance\Opening the container).
• Fill the filter starter bacteria (adhere to the attendant instructions for use!).
• Close the container (Cleaning and maintenance\Closing the container).
• Fit the connections ( Assembly).
• Check the firm seating of hoses, cover cap for soiled water drain, clamping ring with safety latch.
• Turn the function switch (J 5) to water filtering (40), if it is not already in this position.
• Switch on the pond pump.
• Only switch on the UVC unit when water is flowing through it. You may have to wait for 24 hours.
Connect power plug to the socket. The UVC unit switches on immediately, the blue LED (J 33) is lit.
