SAFETY Attention! WARNING- To prevent risk of electrical shock, connect this system to a properly grounded, grounding-type power supply receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. Pull plug before servicing or replacing lamp. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with we hands. WARNING- Do not look directly at the UV lamp when it is operating. The light emitted by the lamp will cause serious eye damage and burn unprotected skin.
Water Quality Parameters These are recommended levels, for use as a guideline for pre-treatment requirements. Iron: < .3 PPM (.3 mg/L) Hardness: < 120 PPM (7 Grains per Gallon) % UVT: > 75% Total Suspended Solids (TSS): < 5 PPM (5 mg/L) To meet the water quality parameters described above, you may need to pre-treat your water to ensure appropriate disinfection.
Installation 1. To protect your power supply, you must use a surge protector. Models D, E, F, Pro7 and Pro 15 Installation 2. Determine the location referring to information on pages 2, 3, and 4. 3. Attach Reactor Clamp(s) to the wall. 4. Insert Reactor and tighten clamp(s) referring to diagram on page 2. 5. Connect to plumbing. 6. Mount power supply to wall. 7. Attach both ground wire (green/yellow) and strain relief (red) to the ground stud located beside the lamp port (outlet end).
11. Clean the distribution lines: Once the UV system is installed, any contamination in the distribution lines between the UV system and your water outlets must be removed. Similarly, if the power goes out and your Ultraviolet system is not equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, you must also disinfect the downstream distribution lines. To perform this cleaning operation, first make sure the UV system is on.
Operation The lamp MUST be replaced after 12 months of operation. Failure to replace the lamp will reduce the disinfection strength of the Ultraviolet system. Ultraviolet Models A, B, and C Power Supply Model A is 104-126 at 60 Hz or 216-253V at 50 Hz. Models B & C are 90-140V or 190-265V at 50 or 60 Hz. For protection from power surges, a surge protector must be employed. Visual Alarm When the unit is operating properly, the LED on the ballast will be green.
Alarm Postpone Button The alarm postpone button has two functions. 24- Hour Postpone Function: When the unit is in alarm, the LED is red and an alarm sounds. If you press the Alarm Postpone Button for less than two seconds, the LED will flash red and the audible alarm will stop. The unit is still in alarm, but the audio alarm stops for your convenience until you can contact a dealer. This alarm will re-occur after 24 hours if its cause has not been corrected.
Service And Maintenance CAUTION: UV-C rays are present when the unit is operating. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid injury to eyes and skin. Only qualified persons should install or replace UV lamps or sleeves. CAUTION: Be sure to remove all traces of cleaning solution by thoroughly rinsing the sleeve prior to replacing it into the reactor. Follow the lamp/sleeve replacement instructions.
Lamp Removal 1. Shut off water supply to (upstream of) the UV system. 2. Open a tap downstream of the UV unit to release pressure, then close this tap. 3. Unplug the power supply. 4. Let the lamp cool for 5 minutes. 5. Remove the lamp harness: Release the safety clips by gently applying outward pressure on the finger tabs and push off the grey plastic cover (see Figure 1 on pg. 10) or gently squeeze the sides of the cover adjacent to the snap fingers (Figure 2).
Lamp Installation 1. Ensure O-ring and seating area are clean prior to assembly. Place the O-rings and the sleeve bolt on the quartz sleeve and put the lamp into the quartz sleeve (Figure 7). Be careful not to angle the lamp while inserting it into the quartz sleeve. If excessive force is applied, the outward pressure on the inside edge of the quartz sleeve will cause it to fracture. Slide the lamp into the quartz sleeve until the top of the sleeve meets the bottom of the groove in the lamp end.
UV Sensor Installation and Removal To operate properly, the Plus and Pro series systems require that a UV sensor be correctly installed. An adjustable wrench is required to install this sensor. Note: The UV sensor is fragile and must be handled with care. The quartz window in the end of the UV sensor is made of high quality quartz and may break or clip if mishandled. Handle the UV sensor by the steel, plastic, and brass parts only. Not that pulling on the attached cord may shorten the UV sensor’s life.
Cleaning UV System Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve If the water is not sufficiently pre-treated, the quartz sleeve in the water reactor chamber will require periodic cleaning to remove mineral buildup. 1. Follow these steps in Installation or Replacement of UV Lamp/Sleeve section to remove the lamp/sleeve (pg 8). 2. Clean the sleeve by using a commercial grade remove such as Lime-A-Way or CLR on a high-quality lint free cotton swab.
