Operation:
Basic Systems incorporating BA-ICE-C controller:
11
1. Lamp life remaining (days):
The controller tracks the number of days of operation of the lamp and the controller. The
default screen will display the total lamp life remaining (in days). The controller will count
down the number of days remaining until the lamp requires changing (365 days to 1 day).
At “0” days, the controller will display on the display and supply an intermittent
audible chirp (1 second on, 5 seconds off), indicating the need to change the lamp.
DEFErrAL
- Once the “A3” or end of lamp life message is shown on the LED screen, the
audible alarm can be deferred up to 4 separate times. The delay switch is designed to
allow you time to address the alarm while you obtain a new UV lamp. This can be done by
simply depressing the push-button “RESET” switch, which is located on the left side of the
controller. Each time the reset switch is pressed the controller alarm is deferred seven days.
Once the final 7 day deferral has been reached the alarm can only be silenced by changing
the UV lamp and manually resetting the controller timer. To do this please follow the step
by step instructions below:
RESETTING LAMP LIFE:
1. disconnect power supply from controller
2. remove expired lamp from the reactor chamber (refer to www.lamprecycle.org for
lamp disposal)
3. install new UV lamp and connect it to lamp connector (refer to page 7)
4. replace lamp connector
5. hold down the “RESET” switch while reapplying power to the controller until you
see “rSEt”, then release
6. 5 second delay will occur until you hear an audible tone & LED display will
read once again
Once you hear the tone, let go of the switch and the counter will be reset. Even though
the alarm on the system can be deferred for a period of time, it is important to address
each and every alarm condition as they are indicating that there is a potential problem
with the system and should be remedied.
2. Total days of operation:
The controller also displays the total running time of the controller. To obtain this reading,
press the push-button SWITCH once. The total running time of the controller will be
numerically displayed in days. This information will remain displayed for ten seconds and
will then revert back to the lamp life remaining default screen. It should be noted that this
value cannot be reset.
3. Lamp failure (blank screen):
When the system recognizes LAMP FAILURE (no current running through the lamp), the
4-segment display will be blank (no default LAMP LIFE REMAINING screen) and the system
will supply an intermittent audible tone (1 second on, 1 second off). The system will
remain in this state, until this condition is remedied.
