Installation
Step 1:
Once both the orientation and location have been
selected, securely fasten the rack to a suitable
backing. As the rack system is extremely heavy
when filled with water, it is imperative that the
rack be mounted with suitable fasteners for the
particular installation. Mounting to a plasterboard
backing is not suitable, unless the rack is
fastened directly to the wall studs.
Step 2:
The use of a bypass assembly is recommended
as it will allow you to isolate the UV system This
will allow for easier access in case maintenance
is required.
Step 3:
For water supplies where the maximum flow rate is unknown, a flow
restrictor is recommended so that the rated flow of your particular Microlene
system is not exceeded. The flow restrictor should be installed on the inlet
port of the chamber.
Step 4:
It is recommended to have a licensed plumber connect the UV chamber to the
water supply and may be a requirement depending on where you are located.
Step 5:
Connect both the inlet and outlet to the rack system with the applicable
connections based on your particular plumbing requirements. The inlet port
of the filter housing is a 1” FNPT connection and the outlet port of the UV
chamber is a 1” MNPT connection.
These NPT threads will connect to the same size BSP threads on plastic
pipe fittings, alternatively NPT to BSP adapters from your
local plumbing store can be used.
Step 6:
Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the
quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch
the sleeve or lamp with your hands. The use of cotton
gloves is recommended for this procedure as oils from the
hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can
ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the chamber until you can
feel it hit the opposite end of the chamber. Align the sleeve
so it is centered along the length of the chamber, then gently push it in to lock
it into the internal centering springs in the far side of the chamber.
CAUTION:
Pushing too hard when the sleeve is not aligned can damage the centering
springs. Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve until it is butted up against the
chamber (See Figure 4).
Step 7:
Hand tighten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded
end of the chamber. It has a positive stop to prevent over tightening. A firm
force may be required to fully tighten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS
for this step. Insert the provided stainless steel compression spring into the
quartz sleeve. The spring works with the lamp and lamp connector to create
the proper lamp alignment.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT install a UV lamp inside
the quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 8:
Install the filter cartridges in their appropriate housings. Refer to the
specification chart in the datasheet or this instruction manual.
PLEASE
NOTE:
This chart indicates the correct cartridge position for the default
“left-hand” orientation with the water inlet located on the left side of the
