This may include outbuildings and uninsulated loft spaces Page 3 of 9 Installation Control Unit We recommend installation to be carried out by a qualified electrician The Control Unit must be mounted indoors in a dry place it can be wall mounted using the supplied fittings NOTE It is not a waterproof unit DO NOT install in a tank turret We strongly recommends wiring the unit on an RCD protected circuit in accordance with current best practice and regulatory requirements as defined by BS 7671 current IEE wiring regulations and Part P of Building Regulations where applicable If in doubt consult a qualified electrician We realize there are a wide variety of pumps supplied in the UK rainwater market some with 2 pin schuko and some with 3 pin UK plugs A 2 pin schuko plug can plug directly into the plug socket on the face of the unit If your pump has a 3 pin UK plug there are two options available Change the pump s plug to a 2 pin schuko plug one is supplied with this kit Use an earthed 2 pin schuko to 3 pin UK socket adapter to plug into the Control Unit s pump socket not supplied SAFETY NOTE European style Schuko plugs are not protected with a fuse therefore it is vital the controller is installed on a 10A fused outlet to protect both the pump and controller If in doubt you MUST consult a qualified electrician Tundish The Tundish acts as an air gap to prevent backflow into the mains water supply
