WARNING SYSTEMS
INSTALLING YOUR DISINFECTION SYSTEM
•
The complete water system, including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be
sterilized before start up by flushing with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy
any residual contamination.
•
The disinfection system should be connected to a ground fault interrupter.
•
The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only, do not install disinfection
system where it may be exposed to the weather.
•
Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.
•
If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines.
•
Ideally, your disinfection system should be the last treatment your water receives
prior to use.
•
A 5 micron sediment filter must precede the disinfection system.
1. Remove the disinfection system from the shipping carton. For shipping purposes,
the UV lamp is packed in a separate tube. Set the lamp aside for use later. The
disinfection system should be mounted in the horizontal position, with the inlet/
outlet ports facing up. If the system must be installed in the vertical position, make
sure the inlet port is the one at the bottom of the system. Mount the unit in a clear
space with at least 36” (91.5 cm) of space at the lamp end to facilitate lamp and
or quartz sleeve removal. Fasten the disinfection system to a suitable mounting
platform with reinforcements.
2. It is recommended to install a suitable flow restrictor in order that the flow rate.
The use of a by-pass with shut-off valves is recommended for emergency use
of untreated water when your disinfection system is being serviced. Apply
two turns of Teflon tape around the port threads to ensure a tight join before
connecting unions.
Note:
When the UV unit has been by-passed for service, the complete water system must be sterilized once
again with chlorine to destroy any contamination that may have passed during by-pass.
DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS WHILE ATTACHED TO THE DISINFECTION SYSTEM AS
THIS COULD DAMAGE THE O-RING SEALS.
3. When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and
check for leaks. The most likely cause for leaks is from the O-ring seal. In case of a
leak, shut water off, drain cell, remove the retainer nut, wipe the O-ring and threads
clean and re-install.
4. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, very carefully slide the UV lamp into
the UV chamber making sure the lamp pins are accessible for connection with the
lamp connector cable. Attach the lamp connector to the UV lamp, as outlined in
“UV Lamp Replacement” on page 5. Plug the disinfection system into the ground
fault interrupter, and check to see if the UV lamp is illuminated. NEVER LOOK
DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING UV LAMP.
Allow the water to run for a few minutes to
clear any air or dust that may be in the cell.
C. Lamp Failure System
(UVA-1C, UVA-2C, UVA-4C, UV-6, UVA-8C, UVA-12C, UVA-24B – UVA-200B)
The audible alarm and indicator lights on the systems continuously monitor a lamp
operation. If the lamp does not start at any time, the indicator red light will glow and
audible alarm will sound. This alarm indicated the UV lamp is no longer operating and
must be corrected. Please refer to Troubleshooting Guide for corrective procedures.
Ultraviolet Monitoring System
The ultraviolet system features a complete warning system for continuous water
protection by constantly sensing the UV light operation. The system features a single
LED indicator light, which will operate two distinct colors, GREEN and RED. When the
UV output level changes, the warning system will operate in the following manner:
GREEN -
indicates that the UV lamp is satisfactory and the unit is in
good working order.
RED -
indicates that the unit needs immediate attention, the audible
alarm will automatically sound when the LED monitor light
switches to red If the lamp has been in service for a year or more
it should be replaced. The quartz sleeve and/or sensor probe
may require cleaning. The alarm will continue until the sensor
detects adequate UV intensity. When a lamp is replaced it is
recommended to clean the quartz sleeve and sensor probe prior
to returning the system to service.
THIS ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEM HAS BEEN INSTALLED
TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE OPTIMUM PRECAUTIONS TO
ENSURE HIGH EFFICIENCY IN THE PROTECTION AGAINST
MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION IN YOUR WATER.
DO NOT DISREGARD THE WARNING LIGHTS.
THE BEST WAY TO CHECK UV OPERATION IS TO HAVE THE WATER TESTED FOR BACTERIA
BY A RECOGNIZED TESTING AGENCY ON A REGULAR BASIS.
