AFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The special sera UV-C lamp may be operated only inside the sera UV-C Sys-
t
em after it has been completely assembled according to these directions
f
or use. Every other use may lead to skin and eye damage!
•
Always keep UV-C units and UV-C lamps out of the reach of children!
•
All electrical units at/in the aquarium must be disconnected from the pow -
er/mains supply before conducting work at the aquar i um and on the sera
U
V-C System.
•
Operate unit only with a fault current protection switch (RCD, 30 mA).
• Do not operate if unit is submerged!
•
Never operate the UV-C system without water flow.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient water flow through the sera UV-C System 5 W
before switching on the UV-C lamp. A minimum flow rate must be ensured
a
lso during operation.
• Too frequent “ON/OFF” switching reduces the life expectancy of the UV-C
l
amp.
•
Ensure that the electrical plug of the switched-on unit is freely accessible at
all times.

When following the directions for use the sera UV-C System 5 W will perform
reliably. We are liable for the freedom from faults of our products only within
legal regulations beginning with the purchase date.

In every case of a defect we recommend that you consult the specialized re-
tailer where you purchased the unit. He will be able to judge whether it is ac-

ity according to the product liability code. In that case, the extent of liability is
limited to the replacement of contractually typically foreseeable damages.
