WARNING: 

 

If soldering copper pipes, do not allow heat near plastic or nylon threads 

or fittings. 

 

10. Remove the  chamber  end caps.  Note that the quartz sleeve has not been 

factory installed.  Remove it from its packaging. Use a soft non-abrasive cloth 

to handle the sleeve. Wipe off any debris or fingerprints prior to installing. 

Slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber until about 1/2” (1.25 cm) protrudes 

from the either end. Slide one of the black supplied O-rings over the lower end. 

Next, slide one of the white gasket rings on the sleeve (Fig. 8 bottom) Screw 

on the bottom end cap (Fig. 9). Do not tighten. Install the other black O-ring and 

white gasket ring over the open end of the sleeve on the chamber end that has 

the grounding screw attached. (Fig. 8 Top) Screw on the electrical end cap. 

(Fig. 10) Turning in opposite directions, hand-tighten both end caps at the same 

time. Once assembled, tighten each cap ¼ turn using a wrench or pliers, do not 

over-tighten. 

 

11. Remove the lamp from its protective packaging.  Clean lamp exterior with a 

clean  non-abrasive  cloth.  Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the lamp.  

Connect the 4-pin electrical connector to the pins on the UV lamp. (Fig. 11) 

Insert the lamp through the opening at the end of the electrical end cap until the 

electrical connection is inside the end cap.  

 

12. Loosen the set-screw on the side of the lamp plug cover, and place the cover 

over the ledge of the electrical end cap. Tighten the set-screw. (Fig. 12) 

 

13. Remove the nut on the grounding stud and place the grounding wire (green & 

yellow) onto the stud. Replace the nut and tighten. (Fig 13) 

 

14. Remove the transmittance sensor from its packaging. Ensure the O-ring is in 

place above the threads on the sensor end. Wipe the face of the sensor with a 

clean non-abrasive cloth to remove any debris or fingerprints. Screw the sensor 

into the middle port. Hand-t ¼ turn using a wrench (Fig. 14) 

 

15. Connect the electrical end of the sensor to the right-hand side 2 pin terminal on 

the ballast chassis. (Fig. 15) 

 

16. If the Optional solenoid is installed on the unit, connect the 3-pin  electrical 

connector supplied with the solenoid,  to the 3-pin  adapter on the right-side 

middle of the UV ballast. (Fig. 15) 

 

17. Ensure the valves on either side of the UV disinfection unit are closed. Open 

the main water supply valve. Open the valve on the discharge side of the 

disinfection unit. Slowly open the feed side valve (lower) on the disinfection unit. 

Check for leaks.  If any leaks are present, close valves and repair. 

 

18. Connect the UV power source to a 120v receptacle. Turn on the power switch 

on the side of the ballast. Wait for 5-10 seconds before the Lamp On will be 

indicated. It will take additional time before the green LED indicates the lamp is 

ignited with over a 40mj/cm
