PERFORMANCE
CONSIDERATIONS
The performance of the UVD320 UV disinfection chamber has been
third party validated using accepted bioassay techniques. The
UVD320 is equipped with both visible and audio lamp failure alarms.
For your safety, it is necessary that you determine that the audio
alarm can be heard where you use the water treated by the unit. It is
possible to operate the unit with the lamp disconnected which will
allow you to validate the adequacy of the audio alarm function in your
installation. The UV power source used with the UVD320 is capable
of controlling a solenoid valve, which can shut off the water flow and
protect against using untreated water in case the UV power source
looses power for any reason or the lamp fails prematurely. The use of
the optional solenoid valve is highly recommended. In order to
optimize disinfection performance, you must only use the unit with
water that meets the minimum standard and replace the UV lamp at
recommended intervals. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in
reduced disinfection performance.
UV RADIATION HAZARD
NEVER OPERATE UV LAMP OUTSIDE OF THE UV
DISINFECTION CHAMBER – EXPOSURE TO UV LIGHT
CAN RESULT IN EXTREME BURNING OF SKIN AND EYES
Safety instructions – Please read
carefully
Danger
: Do not plug the unit in if any of the external surfaces or
electrical parts is wet. Condensation on the disinfection chamber is
normal.
Danger
: 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 manufacturer for service advice.
Danger
: 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.
Caution
: 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.
Caution
: Before any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the unit.
Caution
: Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from the unit
if freezing temperatures exist.
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.
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
n
Connect your UV unit to a grounded (3 pronged) receptacle (120V,
60HZ) (
a GFI is highly recommended
) and ensure that the lamp
connector ground wire is connected to the ground stud on the top of
the reactor vessel. Note: Power source for applications outside of
North America must match requirements of the unit (eg. 240V, 50Hz).
o
UV Dynamics disinfection devices are designed to be installed on
the cold water line only.
p
The unit must be
installed vertically
with the lamp connector
pointing upwards – the water source should only be connected to the
inlet port on the bottom of the unit.
CAUTION:
reversing the flow
direction by connecting the water source to the side mounted output
port could result in reduced disinfection performance and improper
operation of the flow regulator.
q
Install your UV Dynamics disinfection system indoors in a protected
area where the temperature does not fall below 4
°
C. (40
°
F) and the
humidity level is low (to prevent condensation on the chamber). This
unit functions ideally in a temperature range from 9
°
C - 29
°
C. (49 –
85F)
r
Use teflon tape on all pipe connections.
DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER SEALANT.
