CAUTION!
The most important consideration for proper installation, operation and maintenance of any
piece of equipment is operator safety. The following caution statements directly relate to
operator safety. Please review with all applicable personnel to ensure continuous
compliance.
The following safety requirements are mandatory. Failure to carefully follow them can
cause injury to the operator and damage to the UV unit.
A) Never look at lighted blue ultraviolet lamps. Never operate the ultraviolet
lamps outside the UV Disinfection Chamber.
UV lamp exposure can severely
burn and damage eyes and skin.
B) Properly ground the UV Disinfection unit.
Failure to properly ground the unit can
result in severe electric shock hazard.
C) Provide watertight piping and compression nut seals. Failure to do so can
cause damage to electrical components, as well as create an electrical hazard
to operating personnel.
D) Disconnect power before servicing unit. The UV lamps and electrical
components are operated with high voltage electrical power.
Do not
attempt
to service the UV treatment unit without first disconnecting power to the unit.
Shut off the source power at the equipment’s main panel breaker and use
appropriate tag-out or lockout procedures to prevent accidental power-up by
other personnel.
Only properly qualified service personnel should perform service.
E) Remove pressure before servicing units. The UV unit has components under
pressure. Before completing any service, the pressure should be removed.
Operating Conditions:
Never operate the unit for more than 30 minutes without flow of water.
Elevated water temperatures can be dangerous and damaging to the unit.
Do not exceed three (3) “START/STOP” cycles per 24-hour period; otherwise
lamp filaments will be subjected to excessive thermal stress, which could cause
premature failure.
Unit Maintenance:
1) Depending on the environment of the installation, clean the exterior
surfaces of the UV treatment chamber, and electrical enclosure. The
frequency of cleaning will be dependent upon the environmental
condition. In some cases, it may be necessary to clean the unit from once
a month to yearly.
2) Use a soft cloth with soap and water, or any commercial stainless steel
cleaner.
3) Avoid
scratching the Lexan windows.
4) Interior of the electrical cabinet should be inspected for debris. Any dirt,
dust or external material should be removed with a vacuum. The
electrical terminal should be cleaned with a commercial electrical contact
cleaner.
