The regular service required is lamp replacement (annually) which is a dry service. If
clearance space is not available for bulb changeout in place, the chamber must be
removed to a bench for the service. In that case, consider isolation valves and union
connections to simplify removal and reinstallation of the unit with minimum water
spillage.

Three power supply versions of the VMS-3 are available:
VMS-3-110V comes with a power cord and plug for a US standard 110/1/60 receptacle.
The ballast includes an LED indicator light that confirms the UV bulb is functioning.

VMS-3-220V comes with a “European” style plug on a cable for 220-240/1/50 power.
The ballast includes a LED indicator light that confirms the UV bulb is functioning.

VMS-3-12VDC comes with two wire leads from the ballast to be connected to a 12 Volt
supply. This version does not have any indicator LED for the bulb, but a indicator
window is provided on the end cap at the opposite end from the lamp connection.

The lamp is packed separately from the chamber. With the electrical supply

disconnected, push the lamp socket onto the lamp first and then slide the lamp straight

into the quartz sleeve without angling. Push the end cap on, over the static gland nut.

Attach the ground connector (if supplied) to the grounding tab on the chamber.

Special precautions must be taken since water is present near electrical
equipment. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance

Lamp and Quartz Sleeve are easily damaged. Exercise care when
installing the lamp.
