2. Failure to properly ground the unit.
3. Failure to eliminate excessive vibration, piping
movement, or water hammer.
4. Failure to exercise caution in the handling of the
sensitive and delicate components (such as lamps,
quartz sleeves, electronic boards, etc.) during
installation and/or maintenance procedures.
5. Failure to avoid excessive stops and starts. Not more
than three (3) on/off cycles per 24 hours of operation.
6. Operation of visibly damaged equipment.
7. Failure to avoid undue overhead piping stress

RBE series
The models in this series contain all electrical compo-
nents in a Remote Electrical Enclosure. This is ideal for
applications where the treatment chamber is outdoors or
subject to washdown, etc. All electrical service and
instrument monitoring can be done at the remote site.
The Remote Electrical Enclosure contains various
electrical components, circuit boards, and all
instrumentation. It is connected to the treatment
chamber via a flexible, watertight electrical cable.
treatment chamber
The UV treatment chamber is comprised of one or more
multi-lamp cylinders. On either end are gasketed end
plates which contain the stainless steel nipples and the
lamp socket retainer assemblies.
Inside each cylinder is a helical baffle that prevents
laminar flow and maximizes the unit’s performance.
The quartz sleeves fit inside the UV treatment chamber
through the holes in the helical baffle. The lamps fit
inside the quartz sleeves. The lamp sockets connect to
the lamps, providing a waterproof seal and a vibration-
proof grip. The socket covers on either end of the
chamber protect the lamp sockets and lamp socket
assemblies.
