installing the UV lamps:
double-ended units
Once is has been verified that there are no leaks in the
system, the unit is ready for UV lamp installation.
1. Remove all power to the UV unit.
2. Depressurize the system.
3. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of the
UV lamps. Carefully remove the UV lamp from the factory
packaging. Handle the lamp with care, as it is fragile.
4. Visually inspect all lamps for cracks or damage. Do not
install damaged lamps.
5. Insert the UV lamp into open quartz sleeve and push it
about 2”-3” (51-76mm) out beyond the opposite com-
pression nut, so as to be able to hold the lamp with one
hand.
6. Insert the lamp base into the rubber socket. Push until
you feel a firm “bottomed out” connection.
7. With one hand, push the lamp socket boot onto the end
of the ultraviolet lamp and connect the opposite lamp
socket. When properly attached, a slight “snap” can be
felt, which indicates a proper connection.
Verify no
portion of the rubber boot has folded under during this
process.
Step 5: Insert the UV lamp into the quartz sleeve
Step 8: Connect lamp socket to lamp locating pin
CAUTION!
Prior to energizing the ballasts and lamps, ensure there is no water
leaking into the quartz sleeves and compression nut cavities by properly install-
ing these components. Even a small leak can flood a quartz sleeve and com-
pression nut cavity.
During operation, high voltage is present at the lamp pins and receptacles of
the lamp connectors. Prolonged flooding of a quartz sleeve and compression
nut cavity can cause premature failure of the lamp due to repeated arcing, overheating of
the lamp connector cable, and may result in a meltdown of the cable insulation.
