PURPOSE

Aquarium covers of the PEARL series are used for:

• aquarium lighting,
• supplement of the daylight for the plants,
• purifying water in the aquarium,
• protection against the fish jumping out of the aquarium,
• preventing a quick water evaporation.

CONDITIONS OF SAFE USAGE

The device you purchased was manufactured in conformity with all safety standards currently in force on the area of European Union. For long lasting and safe usage please read the safety conditions below:

1. The device is designed for usage only indoors and accordingly to its destination.
2. The device can be powered from a power grid of voltage stated on the device.
3. The pump should not be connected to the electric network while outside of the water.
4. The non-detachable power supply cord is not replaceable. If the cord is damaged, the device must be discarded.
5. Prior to placing hand in the water, all of the electric devices present in the tank should be unplugged from power.
6. The tank can be filled with water only to the level which provides at least 15 mm distance between the water surface and lighting fitting. The light set without lamps must not be used.
7. This device can be operated by children who are at least eight years of age, by persons with reduced physical or mental capabilities or persons with no prior experience with the device only under supervision or following an instruction on the safe operation of the device to ensure that the person is aware of any associated risks. The device is not a child's toy! Do not let children to clean or perform maintenance on the device without supervision.

ASSEMBLY, START-UP AND REGULATION

Before first start-up of devices in the cover and after maintenance activities check whether:

• CIRCULATOR pump (12) is placed in its seating and the connection pipe (10) and suction pipe (9) are installed at the pump (12) intake,
• to provide proper filtration the biological cartridge (7) should be placed between two sponge cartridges (6 and 8).

The aquarium container shall be filled in with an appropriate quantity of water, a lot over the level of the bottom edge of the frame (1) so that the outlet of pump CIRCULATOR (12) inserted into its place is immersed in water. Remember that the water level lowers as a result of the evaporation. If there occurs such a necessity, add more water.

The pump (12) is switched on by means of inserting its plug into the socket. In order to start the filtration immediately, it is recommended to press the air out of the pores in the sponge cartridge (6 and 8) after switching the pump on for the first time. The flow of the pumped and filtered water can be regulated by means of pump body (12.1) rotation fig. A. The pump output should allow the filtration media placed in baskets to be completely covered with flowing water and at the same time the water should not be overflowing the upper ridge of filter channel.

REPLACEMENT OF THE LEDDY TUBE LAMP AND FILTRATION CARTRIDGES, MAINTENANCE

In case of the LEDDY TUBE lamp not illuminating despite switching it on it should be replaced – see figure B.

Prior to opening the cover to perform maintenance the lighting should be disconnected from electricity.

The CIRCULATOR pump (12) is driven by a water-tight, synchronic engine, which has small maintenance requirements. If you notice that the pump has a lowered capacity or does not start after it is switched on, you should: disconnect the pump from the power network, lift and support the cover (2), take out the pump (12) from its seat, rotating take out flow regulator (12.4) and take out the rotor chamber (12.3). Take off the rotor (12.2), delicately clean the rotor and rotor sleeve in the pump body (12.1), and then put the pump together in reverse order. After the placement of the rotor (12.2) on the axle, it should rotate without any resistance. Place the pump in its seat. The wire should be held at grip and not immersed in water.

Filtration cartridges get gradually stuck with the collected dirt. Then, the pumped water does not flow through them, but it falls next to the mounting back to the aquarium. In order to maintain a constant water clarity, it is recommended to regularly wash or replace the filtration cartridges. The cartridges are placed in removable frame so to make this operation easy. The cartridges (6 and 8) are filled with phenol-free sponge with various size pores, where, apart from the mechanical filtration, cultures of bacteria responsible for cleaning the container of organic impurities easy develope. The main means of biological cleaning is ceramic cartridge BioCeraMax (7), which thanks to its huge porous surface, is an ideal place for the bacteria. It is sufficient to wash the ceramic cartridge once every six months in chlorine-free water (e.g., taken from the aquarium), or replace half of the cartridge once a year. There can be also applied other filtration media e.g. ZeoMax – zeolit, CarboMax – active carbon. It is recommended to use only a soft rag and a mild cleaning agent (detergent-free) for the external cleaning.
