3. Intended use
This submersible pump is designed for pumping water in garden ponds, fountains,
water dishes, etc. It can pump water through a hose connection or can be operated
through attached lifting tubes with water sprinklers.
A solar module or a power pack with a voltage of 12 to 24 volts can be used as the
energy source. When used with a solar module, the pump works only if enough
solar radiation strikes the solar module.
A battery box (accessory) is delivered along with this pump. When battery is on, an
LED light (accessory) can be attached to the lifting tube. This gives the fountain a
decorative lighting. The LED light rings are available in different colours.
The delivery rate of the pump can be adjusted using the regulator on the front side
of the pump. The water pump has no On/Off switch. As soon as the pump is connected to its power supply, it starts pumping water.

5. Dry run protection
The pump is equipped as standard with a dry run protec-
ion. Two sensor points are provided on the side of the
t
ousing for this. The pump works if these points are
h
under water. If a point projects out of the water, the pump
does not work.
6. Care and maintenance
For optimum performance of the pump, it must be washed occasionally with warm
water depending on the water contamination. To wash the pump, open the housing
as follows:
Note: Please do not use force while dismantling or assembling the pump. The parts
are very fragile and can break easily.
. Disconnect the pumpʼs plug.
1
2. Pull the front cover of the pump forward like a slide gently (Figure 1).
. Turn the front cover of the pump by about 45° clockwise (Figure 1) and carefully
3
pull the cover forward (Figure 2). Watch out for the plastic shaft and the seal while
oing this.
d
4. Carefully drag the impeller out of the pump (if necessary, use pliers). (Figure 3).
5. Now clean all the parts carefully with warm water.
. Then plug the shaft with the impeller carefully into the hole of the pump. Ensure
6
that the shaft is fitted firmly.
7. Now place the cover carefully over the pump. Ensure that the seal is fitted proper-
ly.
8. Turn the front cover again by 45 degrees counter-clockwise into the starting posi-
tion.
9. Slide the lower part of the pump completely into the pump housing.
The pump is ready to use again.

4. Installation and commissioning
1. Roll out the connecting cable of the
pump completely.
2. Ensure that the cap is firmly in place on
the socket.
3. Place the pump in water (please note
Point 5 here).
4. Connect the lifting tubes till they project
out of the water surface. For this, first
attach the reducer to the pump.
5. You can now choose from 2 different
water nozzles.
6. Alternatively, the pump can also be used
for pumping water through a hose. For
this, you just have to attach a hose to the
pumpʼs pipe.
7. Now supply power to the water pump
through a solar module. Use the enclosed plug with cable (red = positive pole,
black = negative pole) for this. If you
have purchased this pump as a complete
solar power system, then the appropriate
plug is already attached to the solar module.
Note: The plug has reverse-polarity protection, no force should be used while inserting. The glass of the solar module is fragile.
Caution! Risk of injury! A broken module cannot be repaired again and must be disposed off in an environmental-friendly way.
8. If the pumping capacity is too high, you can reduce the amount of water. Simply
turn the regulator on the front side of the pump in clockwise direction. Please
do not use force while adjusting. The adjustment range is 45°.

n the evening and in case of decreasing solar radiation, the pump is increasingly sup-
I
plied with energy by the accumulator. The system will run until the accumulator has
reached its deep discharge threshold (approx. 11.8 V). The pump and the LED
ighting are automatically switched-off and the LED is lit up red.
l
The accumulator will then be charged the following morning via the solar module (yellow LED is lit up). Depending on the solar radiation, this process may take a cou-
le of hours.
p
he output voltage of the accumulator station may be adjusted via the controller on
T
the front side. In times with little sunshine, the controller should be adjusted to the
owest setting.

4. Insert the plug on the pump cable in the
uilt-in socket “OUTPUT DC 12-24 V” a
b
he accumulator station. Screw the cap nut
t
tight.
Please make sure that the switch is in OFF
position.
5. Completely unroll the cable at the accumulator station.
6. Insert the cable with the socket into the plug of the
olar module. Screw the cap nut tight.
s
. Put the pump into the pond. Please pay attention to the operating manual of the
7
pump. It contains important notes regarding the start of operation and maintenance.
3. Intended Use
- The accumulator station may be used in the esotec pump systems Verona,
Toscana, Napoli, Napoli LED, Siena and Siena LED.
- The accumulator station is installed between pump and solar module.
- The pump may be switched-on or –off via a switch.
- Via a controller, the operating voltage of the pump may be adjusted to 12 and 24 V.
- Operation of the pump optionally via timer or permanent operation
- The integrated accumulator is protected against deep discharge, overcharge
and short circuit.
- Two LEDs provide information about the state of charge and charging of the accumulator.
- The system is plug-in ready and set up within minutes.
Note: The accumulator station must not be positioned and set up in the blazing
sun or in the water.
Mode of operation:
The accumulator station is interconnected between the solar module and the pond
pump.
In case of an optimal solar radiation, the solar module will generate more electrical
energy than required by the pond pump. This excess energy is then stored in the
accumulator and will be available for the pond pump in case of shadow or darkness.
If the battery voltage is within the operative range, the pump will be switched-on and
the green LED is lit up. If the accumulator is discharged, the pump is switched-off and
the red LED is lit up. The yellow LED is lit up as soon as the accumulator is charged.
The electronics protect the accumulator against deep discharge, overcharge or short
circuit.
The charging of the accumulator always has priority over the operation of the
pump.
Throughout the summer months with full solar radiation, this results in the following operating characteristic:
In the morning, the discharged accumulator is charged via the solar module (the yellow LED is lit up). The accumulator is still discharged from the day before (the red
LED is lit up).
The pump is switched-on and the LED is lit up green as soon as the battery voltage
has reached its activation threshold (approx. 12.65 V). In summer with full solar radiation, the solar module will generate enough energy in order to supply the pond pump
with energy and simultaneously charge the accumulator.
8. Leave the switch in the „OFF“ position
and charge the accumulator for 2 to 3
hours during sunshine. When setting the
switch to its “ON” position, the green LED
will be illuminated and the pump starts to
work.
9. The operating voltage of the pump may be
adjusted to 12V and 24 V. This is done by
means of a controller. Thus, the power of
the pump is adjustable.
Note: Full power should only be chosen in
high summer. The increased power consumption leads to a reduction of the maximum operating time of the accumulator.
Note: The plugs and sockets are predcted against inverse polarity. Do not apply force
when inserting the plugs. The glass of the solar module is fragile.
Note: The accumulator station must not be set up in the blazing sun.
5. Operating mode of the accumulator station
5.1 Settings via toggle switch:
1. Position ON : If the built-in accumulator has
the correspondingly high voltage, the pump
starts to run (green LED is illuminated) and the
accumulator is charged if excess energy is
available. In case the capacity of the solar
module should now be reduced due to clouds,
the pump will be supplied with energy via the
accumulator. In the evening, the pump will still
run for some time until the control deactivates
the accumulator (red LED is illuminated).
2. Position 0 (OFF) : The pump is switched-off . The accumulator is charged via the
solar module and the electric energy is stored. The yellow LED is lit up as soon as the
accumulator is charged via the solar module.
Note: In case you would like to achieve a particularly long operating time in the evening, then set the switch to its “OFF” position during the day and to its “ON” position in the evening.
ote: In high summer and in case of a high solar radiation, we recommend leaving
N
the switch in its „ON“ position. Thus, you will achieve the maximum possible runtime
of the pump.
.2 Timer operation:
5
The accumulator station may be operated
ith the timer function via the press
w
witch “Timer On”, “Timer Off”. The functi-
s
n is activated if the switch is pressed.
o
Every hour, the pump will work for approx.
0 minutes.
1
Note: This function shall particularly be
used in case of weak solar radiation or for
longer overshoot time at darkness.
a
6. Short Circuit Protection
he accumulator station is equipped with a short circuit protection in order to prevent
T
ny damage of the electronics by a short circuit at the pump. As soon as the connec-
a
tion of the pump is affected by a short circuit, the state of charge indicator will flash
alternately red and green. In this case, please check the pump for function (e.g.
directly supply the pump via the solar module) and check all plug-in connections for
ightness.
t
7. LED Indicator Lights
-Normal, R-Low:
G
ED is lit up green when the accumulator is sufficiently charged in order to supply the
L
pump with energy. LED is lit up red if the accumulator is discharged. The LEDs are
not lit up when the pump is switched-off.
harge:
C
LED is lit up yellow as soon as the accumulator is charged via the solar module LED
is also lit up in switched-off condition.
8. Exchange of the accumulator
9. Storing throughout the winter

he LED is not illuminated green. In spite of solar radiation when switching-off
T
and on again of the switch On/Off , the pump starts to work and the green LED
s illuminated.
i
. The accumulator has not yet reached its restart threshold. The electronics is reset
1
fter the deactivation and activation of the system and the system starts to work
a
without waiting for the restart threshold. This is a normal process and does not
indicate any defect.
ED does not light up green in spite of solar radiation. When the switch
L
On/Off is switched-off and –on, the pump starts working and the green LED is
lit up.
1. The accumulator has not yet reached its re-start threshold. After the system is
witched-off and –on, the electronics is reset and the system starts running wit-
s
hout waiting for the re-start threshold. This is a absolutely normal process and
oes not constitute a defect or failure.
