Safety Instructions
Warning:
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
DANGER:
To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical
equipment. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and trouble-
shooting sections, do not attempt repairs yourself. Contact CUNO Food Service Authorized Distributor for service.
3. Carefully examine the UV system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.
4. Do not operate the UV system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5. Always disconnect water flow and unplug the UV system before performing cleaning or maintenance activities.
Never yank the cord to remove from an outlet; grasp the wall plug and pull to disconnect.
6. Do not use this UV system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of attachments not
approved, recommended or sold by the manufacturer or distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
7.
Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this UV system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing. Do not store this UV system where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water
has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
8. Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the UV system.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or
watts than the UV system rating may overheat and create a fire hazard. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it will not be damaged, tripped over or pulled.
10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Water Chemistry
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of the UV system. The following levels are recom-
mended for installation:
•
TOTAL IRON count is less than 0.3 ppm (mg/l)
•
HYDROGEN SULFIDE count is less than 0.05 ppm (mg/l)
•
SUSPENDED SOLIDS count is less than 10 ppm (mg/l)
•
MANGANESE count is less than 0.05 ppm (mg/l)
•
HARDNESS count is less than 7 gpg (where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV system should operate
efficiently provided the quartz sleeve and/or sensor probe is cleaned periodically)
If the water chemistry contains levels in excess of those mentioned above, proper treatment is recommended to correct
these water problems prior to the installation of the UV system. Consult a CUNO Food Service Authorized Distributor for
pretreatment recommendations.
Before Installing the System
The CUNO Food Service UV system is packaged as follows:
•
Stainless Steel Reactor Chamber
•
UV Lamp with Quartz Sleeve
•
Patented Electronic ICE Ballast
NOTE:
A minimum of a 5 micron sediment filter (not included) must precede the UV system.
NOTE:
For cold water use only.
NOTE:
For potable water use only.
