How it works
Inside the reactor a UV-C lamp produces radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm. Radiation of this type kills bacteria, viruses, algae
and fungi (e.g. Legionella and Cryptosporidium). The UV-C unit produces clean, fresh, clear water in an efficient, environmentally
friendly way. The water is fed through the UV-C device by a pump. The UV-C radiation neutralizes bacteria, viruses and other
micro-organisms and prevents them from reproducing. Floating algae is also destroyed by this radiation, which greatly improves the
clarity of the water. The UV-C unit is equipped with an electronic ballast. This ballast ensures optimum performance of the lamp.
In addition, the stainless steel reactor reflects the UV-C radiation, increasing efficiency by up to 35%.
Thanks to the UV-C unit, the water is disinfected efficiently and safely, providing you
with excellent water quality. Overdosing with UV-C is not possible.
Installation of earthing (drawing 1)
1. Before the plastic strain relief (4) is fitted on the earthing bolt (1), first pull the cable (2) through the
strain relief (4). Place the strain relief (4) about 10 cm from the eye (2) of the earthing cable.
2. Place the eye (2) of the cable over the earthing bolt that is attached to the housing.
3. Then place a serrated lock washer (3).
4. Attach the strain relief (4) to create a Ø5 cm loop.
5. Finally, place the second serrated lock washer (5) and the lock nut (6) on the earthing bolt.
6. Once the parts have been placed on the earthing bolt in the correct order, it
can be tightened with an 8 mm open-end or ring spanner.
Warning:
Always ensure proper earthing. In case of doubt about the earthing or the electrical installation in general, always consult a
qualified electrician. Incorrect earthing can be dangerous and/or lead to corrosion of stainless steel or aluminium reactors.
Make sure the reactor is always grounded.
Device installation (figure 2)
Decide where you want to mount the device. The best place to install the UV-C device is directly after
the filter(s). See the schematic diagram in the operating instructions. Make sure there is always water
flowing through the device when the lamp is on. Never install the device in direct sunlight.
Install the device in a dry, well-ventilated area. The device can be installed either horizontally or vertically, provided that the water
flow is from bottom to top (see schematic diagram at the beginning of the instructions for use), with 30 cm of unobstructed space
on the side opposite the lamp connection for future maintenance. At least one metre of unobstructed space must be left on the
side with the lamp connection for convenient future replacement of the lamp (K) without having to disconnect the entire device.
CAUTION
: All connections and couplings must be hand-tight. Do not tighten them with tools. Otherwise damage may occur.
Important
Please read carefully through these instructions
for use before installing this device.
