INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE
This Vecton unit is supplied with two universal hosetails for connecting the steriliser to the water system. Installation
is explained in detail below.
POSITIONING THE VECTON UNIT
CAUTION: This unit must not be mounted above the aquarium or in any position where it may accidentally
fall into water or be splashed by water.
This unit must be mounted vertically using the key hole slots in the underside of the base, as shown in the diagram
below. It must not be mounted in any other plane.
Suitable for mounting on flammable surfaces.
CONNECTION TO THE AQUARIUM WATER SUPPLY
Water flow: Water should be pumped into the lower inlet port and returned to the aquarium via the upper outlet
port as shown in the diagram above.
Connection with flexible hose
The Vecton unit is supplied with two universal hosetails to take 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”and 1 1/4” diameter flexible hose. If you
are using one of the three larger sizes, the smaller sections of the hosetails must be cut off to ensure sufficient water
flow and to prevent possible damage to the pump.
We recommend that you use the largest diameter hose available. As it is easier to cut the hosetails while they are
attached to the unit, attach them using the female threaded lock nuts and gaskets provided.
Ensure that the gaskets are seated correctly between the flat face of the hosetails and the flat face of the inlet/
outlet ports.
Using a hacksaw, carefully cut off the excess hosetail, ensuring that the sections are cut off at the second ridge and
that the cut follows the line on the ridge.
Once trimmed, hand tighten the lock nuts to secure the hosetails to the inlet/outlet ports. Do not use jointing
compound or PTFE tape. Secure the hosepipe to the hosetail with a stainless steel hose clip.
The hosetails supplied are made from a translucent material which will glow when the unit is operating correctly.
(NB. glow only visible in low levels of light.)
