UV Lamp Installation
Lamp Styles
UV lamps are manufactured with color coded ceramic bases. White-capped UV lamps
signify a Standard-Output UV lamp while red-capped UV lamps signify a High-Output UV
lamp.
Use only red-capped High-Output UV lamps with the Bioshield
®
UV Disinfection Sterilizer.
Power Cord Adjustment
There should be 4-inches of cord between the Gray Adapter and the 4-pin Lamp Connector . The 4-inch cord
distance positions the lamp properly inside the quartz sleeve.
1. The 3/8-inch Threaded Watertight Cord Connector is adjustable. Loosen it gently move the cord through it. Care
must be taken when retightening. If the Connector’s Rubber Gasket Seal is dislodged during cord adjustment
please make sure that it is properly re-seated inside the male threaded portion of the connector.
2. After a successful leak test and without the power supply connected to a control box, attach the lamp’s 4-pins to the
power cord’s white 4-pin Connector . Then slide the UV lamp back into the quartz sleeve.
3. Whether the Bioshield
®
UV Disinfection
Sterilizer vessel is mounted horizontally
or vertically, care should be taken when
installing the UV lamp into the vessel’s
quartz sleeve. Vertical installations
require extra attention to eliminate the
chance of the lamp dropping into the
quartz sleeve and breaking.
4. With the UV lamp/power cord connection complete and the lamp entirely inside the quartz sleeve, carefully screw
down the Gray Power Supply Adapter onto the Clear Quartz Sleeve Module ; hand tighten only.
5. Screw down the Black Power Supply Jamb Nut until it makes contact with the Clear Quartz Sleeve Module .
Note: By loosening the 3/8-inch Threaded Watertight Cord Connector , Power Cord adjustments can be made.
Make sure the 3/8-inch Threaded Watertight Cord Connector’s gasket is properly in place before retightening.
Note: If you do not have the Black Power Supply Jamb Nut back far enough before tightening the Gray Power
Supply Adapter , the gray adapter will not make contact with the power supply gasket and will enable outside
moisture to enter the quartz sleeve assembly and cause a system failure.
