INSTALLATION/LOCATION
1. Carefully remove the UV lamp from the shipping tube, being careful not to touch the “glass” portion with your fingers. The
UV Disinfection System should be mounted in the horizontal position with the inlet/outlet ports facing up. If the system must
be installed in the vertical position, make sure the inlet port is at the bottom of the system. Mount the unit in a clear space
with at least 40” (100 cm) of space at the lamp end to facilitate lamp and/or quartz sleeve removal. Fasten the UV
Disinfection System to a suitable mounting platform with secure fasteners. Apply two turns of thread seal tape around the
port threads to ensure a tight joint.
2. Insert the UV lamp into the quartz sleeve and chamber, making sure the lamp pins are accessible for connection with the lamp
connector cable. Attach the lamp connector to the lamp pins and press firm into gland nut. Mount the UV Disinfection
System with the supplied clamp. If the UV Disinfection System is to be hard plumbed, leave enough clearance in front of the
lamp connector to allow for lamp service (a length equal to the length of the unit should suffice).
3. Various connection methods can be used to connect the water source to the UV Disinfection System; however, union type
connectors are recommended. The use of a flow restrictor device is strongly recommended when installing your disinfection
system, in order that the recommended flow rate not be exceeded. In addition, the use of a bypass assembly is
recommended for emergency use of untreated water when your disinfection system is being serviced.
4. Prior to connecting the power source, check all connections to ensure that they are indeed secure; turn on water supply and
check for any leaks. If satisfied that there are no leaks, proceed with the followings steps. DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS
WHILE ATTACHED TO THE DISINFECTION SYSTEM. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE O-RING SEALS.
5. To properly ground the stainless steel reactor chamber, attach the green wire coming from the power source to the
grounding lug on the UV chamber. Remove the green cap nut and slide the eyelet connector onto the screw. Fasten the cap
nut to the screw with a 5/16” wrench.
6. The power source provided with your disinfection system must be located within 5 feet of an electrical outlet. DO NOT USE
AN OUTLET THAT CAN BE SWITCHED OFF (ie. A WASTE DISPOSAL OUTLET). Attach the lamp connector to the UV lamp
and press into the gland nut. Plug the ballast into the outlet and ensure the POWER-ON LED is illuminated. NEVER LOOK
DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING UV LAMP. THE LIGHT GIVEN OFF BY THIS UNIT CAN CAUSER SERIOUS BURNS TO
UNPROTECTED EYES AND SKIN. When power is first applied, th ballast will enter an audible self- test mode.
NOTE
– If ballast enters alarm condition, power must be removed for 30 seconds to allow ballast to reset.
NOTE
– The UV Disinfection System requires time to reach its full operating capacity. Allow the disinfection system to operate 3-5
minutes prior to use. In addition, open the faucet and allow water to run through the UV Disinfection System for 2-3 minutes to
clear any air or debris. When using a reverse osmosis (RO) application, run the water for 30-45 seconds.
NOTE
– When the UV unit is returned to service after being on bypass, the complete water system must be resterilized with
chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any contamination that may have entered the distribution system while on bypass.
