6. es The strongest ultrasonic signals are those that come straight out of the transducer 1 Determine the optimal location of the transducer a Where as much of the water surface comes into direct contact with the sound waves b Where the front of the unit follows the water current and or wind direction for larger water surfaces above 5 10m c Where there are no corners outside the reach of the transducer as this will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the device d With its backside as close to the water edge as possible 2 Place the transducer in the water 3 Ensure that the transducer is always completely below water surface 4 Always ensure a horizontal position of the transducer en UCONN ONG a Dark area remains untreated EN The cable between the transducer and the electronic box can NOT be lengthened If you require a longer cable please contact LG SOUND Spare cable should NOT remain winded Due to the high frequencies induction might be caused which could negatively influence the direction and quality of the sound waves Leave the transducer cable un winded as this example shows 4 3 Installation of the float Only the following products are provided with a float the LG Sonic XXL XL and Tank This float ensures that the transducer always remains in a position of about 20 cm horizontally below water surface In this way the sound waves w

10. nsert the power plug into the power outlet Z Te a ee 3 Check if the light indicator is blinking a vr NG To operate effectively the LG Sonic algae control system must be operating continuously 24 hours a day The speed in which the algae are killed will depend on the concentration of algae in your water entity for example a lake reservoir swimming pool or pond and the size of your device in relation to the quantity of water The amount of time that passes until you begin to see results will thus vary from a few days to a few weeks Even after the water is cleared from algae the LG Sonic solution will be of use as algae tend to come back if left untreated Therefore the LG Sonic device should remain in order to continue to keep the water mostly clear and free of algae After heavy rains new algae might be washed into your water reservoirs Algae blooms might occur that the LG Sonic algae control system will clear in depending on the amount of algae a few days to a few weeks Different types of algae respond differently to the LG Sonic treatment As certain types of algae die they will float to the surface and should be removed as often as possible but at least twice a week as the blanket of algae will hinder the ultrasonic sound waves Other algae will sink to the bottom where they can easily be removed Finally regulary check whether the ultrasonic transducer and the float are stil
