UV RADIATION HAZARD
NEVER OPERATE UV LAMP OUTSIDE OF THE UV
DISINFECTION CHAMBER
– EXPOSURE TO UV LIGHT CAN
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNING OF SKIN AND EYES
Safety instructions
– Please read carefully
DANGER
–
To reduce risk of electrical shock this system must be
grounded.
Connect your UV system to a grounded, GFI protected (3
pronged) receptacle (120V, 60HZ) and ensure that the lamp connector
ground wire is connected to the ground stud on the top of the disinfection
chamber.
Note:
Power source for applications outside of North America must
match requirements of the unit (eg. 240V, 50Hz).
Do not plug the unit in if any of the external surfaces or electrical parts
are wet. Condensation on the disinfection chamber is normal.
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since
water may be present near electrical equipment. Unless referred to in
these instructions, do not attempt repairs yourself. Contact the installing
dealer or manufacturer for service advice.
Do not operate this system if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug,
is malfunctioning, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.
Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended potable water
application. The use of attachments not recommended, approved, or
sold by the manufacturer/distributor may result in an unsafe condition.
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the unit from
the AC supply voltage and de-pressurize the system.
Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from the unit if freezing
temperatures exist.
System must be installed in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations.
If system indicates a failure state, water needs to be boiled before use
and the system and plumbing are required to be disinfected after system
failure is resolved.
This installation and operating manual is to be kept with UV
system.
APPLICATION OVERVIEW
UVDynamics UV disinfection systems certified to NSF/ANSI standard 55
are suitable for use on waters which are known to be contaminated.
This product uses a proprietary extended cold spot lamp design along
with an active temperature controlled cold spot cooling fan, resulting in
improved lamp output maintenance during stagnant hot water conditions.
The UV display indicates actual dose in mj/cm
2
at rated flow.
To insure trouble free operation of your UVDynamics UV disinfection
system it is important to ensure that your water source meets the
minimum water quality parameters specified.
Failure to meet minimum water quality standards may result in
excessive maintenance requirements or, in the case of UVT%
below 70%, may preclude the system from reaching the minimum
operating UV fluence (dose).
WATER QUALITY
Your UV disinfection system requires clean water for optimum
performance. You should only operate your unit if the source water
meets the following standards:
If your source water does not meet these water quality parameters,
additional pre-treatment will be required. Operation of this system with
water that does not meet these quality standards will increase the
occurrence of nuisance alarms, and result in increased maintenance and
more frequent lamp replacement. Operating the system with excessively
low UVT% (ultraviolet transmission percentage) will reduce UV intensity
to the point where operation of the system is not possible.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Select a disinfection system mounting location where a potential leak
will not cause water damage. UVDynamics is not responsible for water
damage. When the disinfection system can only be located where water
damage is a possibility, the installation of an automatic leak detector /
shut off device is highly recommended
UVDynamics disinfection devices are designed to be installed on the
cold water line only.
Cold water source must be connected to the inlet port only.
CAUTION:
reversing the flow direction by connecting the water source
to the output port could result in reduced disinfection performance and
improper operation of the flow regulator.
