11Control Panel InstallationSTEP ONEInspect the panel for any damage and any componentsthat may have loosened during shipping.Control panel must be installed a minimum of 5ft (3min Canada) from the inside wall of the pond, unlessseparated from the body of water by a fence wall,or other permanent barrier that will make the unitinaccessible to persons in the water.Install the control panel to a post structure, side of abuilding, or other reliable means. This structure mustsupport the panel and prevent movement/flexing of thepanel. Use #10 x 1” or longer screws in the mountingpoints of the control panel to secure to the poststructure. NOTE: The control panel must be hungupright in order to be waterproof. It is also advisedto mount the panel out of direct sunlight if possible.Mounting the panel in a North direction will preventheat buildup inside the panel. Also, mount the panelabove the potential flood plain to prevent water entryduring a possible flood event.STEP TWOSet Timer in the control panel to desired ON and OFFtimes per the Instructions for each specific timer.STEP THREEFollow all local and national electrical codes forthis installation and Consult a qualified electricianor service person if needed.(For 120V Installations)Plug the aerator cord into the C-25 outlet labeled“UNIT”. If lights are included, plug the Transformercord into the C-25 outlet labeled “LIGHT”. Now youare ready to plug the C-25 into the 120V power supplyon the post and ENJOY YOUR NEW KASCO AERA-TOR!STEP THREE (For 240V Installation)All electrical connections to this panel must be madewith proper strain relief cord grip fittings or withconduit connections as required by local and nationalelectric codes. The bottom of the enclosure is reservedfor field installation of these connections.Installation InstructionsUse the ropes to position the Fountain in the desiredlocation in the pond/lake. Anchor the ropes or securethem to the shoreline so the ropes are free of slack, butnot tight. To prevent twisting of the unit due to torque,you should place the anchor at least 3 feet from thefloat for each foot of depth (Ex. A 6 foot deep pondwould require an anchor 18 feet horizontally from thefloat.)ALTERNATE INSTALLATIONIn ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly,you may need to suspend a small weight (12” of 1”galvanize pipe works well) at the mid-point of therope to take up any slack as the water level drops. Theweight should be light enough so the Fountain can riseas the water level rises. This can also help hide ropesby sinking them further below the surface.
