Preparing your system
On removing your Steriflo system from its carton you should check all
components, especially the lamp, to ensure all are present and have not been
damaged in transportation. You should have:
1.
Power supply control box with indicator light(s) and electrical flex
2. UV lamp (or lamps)
3. Treatment chamber with mounting brackets
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a firm mounting position. Allow room for removal of the
lamp and sleeve during servicing. Leave a chamber lengths space at the lamp
connector end for lamp removal, with 100mm free at the other end for access to
the end nut. The ‘open’ end nut and the blank end nut are interchangeable, so
lamp removal can be from either end.
Housing your Steriflo System
To protect your Steriflo system from the weather, make sure the site is water
proof, frost free and has adequate ventilation. The unit should be either
horizontally mounted with the inlet/outlet facing upwards or vertically mounted
with the inlet/outlet at the bottom. Allow for drainage, to avoid damage to flooring
etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or seals and allow room to
remove the lamp.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find
electrical devices attractive for various reasons. If your
site or enclosure is susceptible to insect infestation you
should implement a suitable pest control plan.
