SOLAR WATER GARDEN SYSTEM instructions manual Manufactured for www.aquatecequipment.com PO Box 648, Maddington, Western Australia, 6989 Telephone (08) 9452 2444 Email [email protected] www.aquatecequipment.com SOLAR WATER GARDEN SYSTEM instructions manual Congratulations on your purchase of this product by AquaPro, the answers for your watergarden made easy! AP800SP VOLTAGE (V) 12-20 POWER (WATTS) Variable MAX HEIGHT (M) 1.5 FLOW MAX (L/H) 800 Cable Length (m) 5.0 DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES INSTALLATION Your Aquapro solar system has been manufactured with advanced technology to provide you with the best quality system for your pond or water feature. 1.Unpack the contents of your kit and locate all parts ready for assembly (as above). • Aquapro Solar Pumps are suitable for use in many different applications including; fountains, water features, small ponds and hydroponics. • Your Solar Pump has a single moving part (an impellor set) therefore enabling easy cleaning and maintenance. • The pump motor electrical components are encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe operation under water. • The Solar Pump has a robust bearing and shaft design so no oil/ grease lubrication is required. • The flow can be controlled by turning the voltage control, allowing the pump to use less power and therefore run longer. 2.Attach the mounting bracket to the solar panel frame and either screw to a solid surface or attach the garden spike, and position in a convenient location in full sunlight, facing north. 3.The control/battery housing must be placed in a covered location out of the weather. Connect the cable from the solar panel to the plug on the side of the housing. Connect the plug from the pump into the socket on the front of the housing. OPERATION 1.Once installed, allow the solar pump to charge at least eight hours in direct sunlight to fully charge the battery. 2. When the solar panel is in the sunlight and the battery is charging, the “charging indicator light” will blink every 2 seconds. 3.To turn the system on, press the ON button in the control housing. The green POWER ON LED indicator light will glow, indicating the system is ready to use. 4.To choose a mode, press the mode button and the indicator light will alternate between the “SOLAR POWERED (DAY MODE)”,THE “BATTERY POWERED (NIGHT MODE)” and the “CHARGING MODE”. In the SOLAR POWERED (DAY MODE) the pump operates in direct sunlight only and any surplus power is used to charge the battery. In BATTERY POWERED (NIGHT MODE) the pump will run for 2 hours only off the battery power then automatically shut off, it will then run for 2 hours every 24 hours at the time when you first activated the night mode. If you want to run the pump for one time only off the battery power press the cycle button and the indicator light will illuminate. In the CHARGING MODE the pump does not operate – all energy from the solar panel is used to charge the battery. We recommend using the charging mode when charging for 8 hours the first time you use your pump. 5. The flow rate of the pump can be controlled by the variable voltage adjuster dial on the control housing. The greater the flow on your solar pump, the more energy consumed, therefore the operating time will be shorter in BATTERY POWERED (NIGHT MODE). 6. Your AP800SP Solar Pump also has a low battery alert. When the battery is too low, the “LOW BATTERY” indicator light will blink every 2 seconds. Allow the system to recharge in full sunlight for at least 4 hours before turning on. 4.Connect the fountain riser pieces together, then connect the risers onto the outlet of the pump and attach either the bell or the daisy spray nozzle to the top. If you do not require the fountain kit go to step 5. 5.Connect tubing to the outlet or attach fountain kit (step 4), then place the pump in desired location. 6.Ensure pump is submerged, the pump is now ready to use. 1 2 SOLAR WATER GARDEN SYSTEM instructions manual MAINTENANCE 1 Impellor Cover Disconnect power cord from the battery before performing maintenance. Never lift the pump by the power cord. 2Impellor 3 Pump Base (Sliding) The only serviceable item is the impellor set. 4 Pump Motor Body 5Top Of Pump Cover 6 Bottom Of Pump Cover The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. 7 Filter Sponge 8Fountain Nozzle x2 All Aquapro submersible pumps are water cooled; if pump becomes restricted it will overheat and could cause permanent damage. Ensure pump does not become blocked or restricted. 9 Battery Housing 10 8 Watt Solar Panel The power cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the pump must be discarded. 8 10 If the impellor set becomes worn or damaged it should be replaced (available from your dealer or special orders). Failure to do so may cause serious damage to pump. 5 9 3 1 The impellor set is a wearing consumable part. Regular inspections, cleaning, and maintenance of impellor is necessary to ensure longer impellor life. 2 1.Disconnect the power cord from the battery before performing maintenance. 2.The solar panel should be cleaned periodically with a soft tissue. Regular cleaning of the panel is recommended to maintain optimum efficiency. 3.Remove from water, detach tubing/ fountain kit and take apart cage from pump by pushing the 4 clips on the sides and lifting the top half. 4.Remove the pump from the cage and slide off the base of the pump in the direction of the arrows. 5.Remove the impellor cover by turning anti-clockwise and pulling out. 6. Gently remove the impellor and shaft, use long nose pliers if needed. Take care not to break ceramic shaft, because they are very brittle. 7.Clean impellor, checking for any signs of wear or damage. 8.Reinstall the impellor into the motor. The impellor will pull itself in by magnetic force, this is normal. (Take care not to pinch your fingers). 9.Replace the impellor cover making sure the shaft is located properly on the impellor cover. 10.Replace the base, place pump back into the cage, and clip together. 11.Re-attach tubing/fountain kit, submerse in water, connect to battery, and turn on. 7 4 6 3 4 www.aquatecequipment.com 1Housing 2 Lead-Acid Battery 3Circuit Board 4Control Housing Panel 5 Screw • Always unplug the pump from the battery when not in use or before performing any maintenance on the pump. Never pull the cord to disconnect the plug from the battery. • The impellor set is a consumable item and is therefore not covered under warranty. • Do not install or store the pump where it will be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. • Warranty will be void if any tampering, removal of warranty labels, or electrical circuitry is evident. • Keep out of reach of children or pets. This appliance should not be used by children or infirm persons without supervision. • Do not cut the cord as this will result in voiding your warranty. • Care should be taken to arrange the power cord so that it cannot be accidently tripped over or pulled. 1 2 3 4 5 • Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself. Return to an authorized service centre or place of purchase if a fault occurs. (Regular maintenance is not considered repair and is required by user). • Do not use in water above 35°C. REPLACING BATTERIES IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS If the pump stops working after a long period of time, the battery maybe beyond its lifespan. The battery can be replaced. Use only Aquapro replacement batteries. To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including, but not limited to the following; 1.Open the control housing by undoing the screws on the front and carefully remove the front panel and circuit board. Take care not to damage any connections. 2.Carefully slide out the battery, disconnect the terminals, and dispose of used battery as per local regulations. 3.Reconnect new battery and replace into the control housing, replace front panel and screws 5 • The pump should only be used in clean water. Do not use the pump in any solvent or liquid that is flammable. • Do not operate the pump without water at any time, permanent damage may occur. • Do not operate the pump if the pump or any of the components of the pump, such as the power cable, have been damaged. • Do not break or impact the solar panel, the monocrystaline solar panel is fragile and care should be taken not to damage it. • The control housing must be covered.
