9. MAINTENANCE
a)
UV radiation is harmful to eyes and skin. It is forbidden to directly observe UV
lamp (radiator) during operation.
b) It is recommended to check cleanness of the quartz sleeve whenever the UV lamp is
replaced.
c) If any sediment is noticed on the surface of the quartz sleeve, it is recommended to
immediately clean the sleeve. Negligence of this recommendation can cause drop in
efficiency of sterilization.
d) Any time the sleeve is cleaned or replaced it is required to
unconditionally replace the O-ring creating the seal around the sleeve.
e) Inlet and outlet valves shall be opened slowly to prevent the rush of fluid hitting and
damaging the quartz sleeve.
f) There is no need for minimal flow through the device as it is designed in such a way
that there may be no flow through the chamber with no damage to the sterilizer.
When
there is no flow of water
through the chamber can heat up to approx. 85°C that is
when turning off radiators occurs. Sterilizer is resumed to work after reaching
temperature of approx. 65°C.
g) UV sterilizer should work constantly - his long-term exclusion may cause secondary
infection in the installation, which is very difficult to remove.
h) It is recommended that before the UV sterilizer a filter is installed.
i) Water not fit for consumption may require treatment i.e. deironing, softening or
filtering. If any doubt, please contact your dealer.
j) In case of high turbidity and waste water, the choice of equipment and efficiency
should be made by the dealer.
k) Sterilizers must be sized for the maximum momentary flow of water (matching them to
the daily flows may result in incomplete disinfection)
l) Avoid frequent turning on and off the equipment. One on-off cycle lowers the UV lamp
life by about 10-20 hours.
m) Sterilizers should not be installed in such a way that their work was dependent on
other devices, e.g. pumps, pressure-water.
n) Flow rate through the device can be increased; however, this lowers the delivered
dosage and lowers the efficiency of disinfection.
o) The lamp needs about 2 minutes to reach full capacity at temperature of water about
12-
16 °C. If the water is at temperature 5-12°C, the time might be about 3-5 minutes.
p) If the sterilizer is left idle for longer period of time or it can freeze, we recommend that
the water be drained from the chamber. The chamber is provided with drain valve.
q)
Bioassay samples shall be collected into sterile opaque containers as not to
expose the sample to the light to avoid photo reactivation of microorganisms,
which can rebuild their damaged DNA in presence of light
.
r) In case the red indicator light is on, replacement of the UV lamp is necessary. The
part number can be found on transparent plastic lamp hood placed over the muff.
s) Even short lived surge, to above 254V, can damage the electronic ballast driving the
UV lamps.
