 UV and AXUV Disinfection Units

Instructions

Operating Information and Maintenance Instructions

Operating Information

When the UV lamp in is operating correctly, the current sensor in the control panel 
reads about 0.38 amps. 

•  A reading of 0.20 to 0.0 amps indicates a failed or improperly connected lamp. 

Different control panel types respond differently to UV lamp failures: 

•  AXUV units: When the sensor reads “0.0,” the AdvanTex system’s discharge 

pump is automatically disabled to prevent the discharge of untreated effluent. 

•  VeriComm

 Monitoring System (VMS): If the system has an operational 

network connection and if the alarm delay has not been adjusted, when the 
sensor reads “0” ... 
~ An alert is sent to the service provider.  
~ If the unit is powered through the VMS, a local alarm will sound if the  
  service provider does not provide service within about 18 hours. 

Maintenance Instructions

All Orenco UV and AXUV units require annual servicing and lamp replacement. 

Step 1: Remove Disinfection Unit

Step 1a:

 In the control panel, turn off all circuit breakers. 

Step 1b:

 Lift the disinfection unit out of the Q-D coupling and out of the basin. 

•  Loosen the coiled power cord to allow enough slack for removing the unit 

from the basin. There is no need to disconnect the cord.

IMPORTANT: 

DO NOT pull the unit up by the cord! This will damage the unit.

Step 2: Remove Lamp Tube/Handle Assembly

Step 2a:

 Carefully grasp the lamp tube/handle assembly by the handle. 

Step 2b:

 Pull the lamp tube/handle assembly out of the unit housing. 

IMPORTANT: 

DO NOT pull the lamp tube/handle assembly out by the cord! 

This will damage the unit.

Step 2c:

 Tip the unit housing to drain the effluent back into the basin. 

Step 2d:

 Lay the lamp tube/handle assembly and the unit housing on a 

protective sheet of plastic. 

Step 3: Clean Disinfection Unit Components

Step 3a:

 Wipe off the outside of the disinfection unit housing.

Step 3b: 

Use a hose and long-handled brush to clean the inside of the housing. 

•  Drain the unit back into the basin when you are finished cleaning it.
