Operating & Maintenance Instructions:
Caution:
prior to performing any work on the
disinfection system, always disconnect the power
supply first.
UV Lamp Replacement / Cleaning:
1. To replace the lamp, there is NO need to disconnect the
system from the water supply, nor to drain the water from
the reactor chamber. Lamp replacement is a quick and
simple procedure requiring no special tools. The UV lamp
must be replaced after 9,000 hours of continuous
operation (approximately one year) in order to ensure
adequate disinfection.
2. Disconnect main power source and allow the unit to
power down. Remove the lamp connector by sliding the
metal retaining ring (Figure 1) away from the body of the
connector. Remove connector and lamp from the reactor
chamber. Separate the lamp from the connector (Figure
2). Do not twist the lamp from the connector, simply
slide the two apart. Avoid touching the lamp on the glass
portion. Handling the lamp at the ceramic ends is accept
able, however if you must touch the lamp glass, please use
gloves or a soft cloth. Fully remove the lamp from the
reactor chamber being careful not to angle the lamp as it
is removed from the chamber. If the lamp is removed on
an angle, pressure will be applied on the inside of the
quartz sleeve, causing the sleeve to fracture.
3. To install a new lamp, first remove the lamp from its
protective packaging, again being careful not to touch
the lamp glass itself. Carefully insert the lamp into the
reactor vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve) (Figure
3). Insert the lamp fully into the chamber leaving about
two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber.
Next, attach the connector to the UV lamp (Figure 2).
The connector is “keyed” and will only allow correct
installation in one position. Ensure the connector is fully
seated onto the UV lamp (Figure 4).
4. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the
connector over the aluminum retaining nut. Make sure
the metal retaining ring on the connector is pulled away
from the body of the connector in order that the
connector may slide fully over the retaining nut. Once the
connector is located fully over the retaining nut, slide the
metal ring back in to lock the connector in place (Figure
5). As this connector is keyed to the reactor chamber,
make sure the notch on the connector (Figure
5) is located over the ground lug located on
the reactor chamber.
