The procedures on this and the following page apply to
Double-Ended (DE), Single-Ended (SE) and High Tempera-
ture (HT) RBE units.
quartz sleeve installation
procedures for new equipment
The quartz sleeves designed for this unit are open
on both ends. For first time unit installations, follow these
quartz sleeve installation procedures:
1. Turn off all power to the unit.
2. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of
the quartz sleeves.
3. Carefully remove each quartz sleeve from the factory
packaging. Handle these with care as they are fragile.
4. Visually inspect all quartz sleeves for cracks or other
damage. Do not install damaged quartz sleeves.
5. Remove the socket covers on the ends of the treat-
ment chamber.
6. For High-Temperature units, remove the alignment plate
from both ends of the unit.
7. Remove all compression nuts and any packaging
material from the end plate (if installed).
8. Place the end of the quartz sleeve into the threaded
nipple and slowly push the sleeve into the chamber
through to the second end plate. Repeat for all quartz
sleeves.
9. Install the compression nut and o-ring by placing the o-
ring into the internal relief of the compression nut below
the threaded area. The o-ring should fit into the com-
pression nut.
10. Place the compression nut and o-ring onto the end of the
quartz sleeve until the end of the quartz sleeve touches
the end of the compression nut. Some pushing and
twisting may be required. Deionized water may be used
as a lubricant.
11. Tighten the compression nut approximately 1/2 turn after
the threaded nipple and o-ring make contact.
12. Repeat this procedure for the second endplate.
13. Slowly pressurize the system and fill the chamber with
water to check for leaks.
14. If there are leaks in any compression nut assembly,
depressurize the system and use the compression nut tool
to slightly tighten the leaking compression nut assembly.
15. Retest until a leak-free installation is verified.
16. You are now ready to install the UV lamps.
