WARNING - Please read before installation. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Install by a qualified person and in accordance with applicable local laws and plumbing
codes of practise.
-
Avoid direct exposure to germicidal ultraviolet rays as they are harmful to the eyes and skin.
-
Lamps lose dosage levels after 1 year of continuous service. It is unsafe practise to use lamps beyond the
stated lifetime.
-
Unplug the equipment before any servicing of the assembly.
-
To be effective, the UV units require the water to be clear, use pre-filtration.
-
Ultraviolet lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Hold lamp by ends only. For safety, wear protective
gloves when handling quartz sleeves.
-
Maximum pressure 100 psi or 6.9 Bar, the use of a pressure regulator is sometimes advisable to avoid
pressure surges.
-
Temperature range 2°C - 40°C. The system must be protected from freezing and is for use with cold water systems.
Installation
1.
Ensure the location is well lit, accessible, close to where the water enters the property and adequate space is
left for replacement of lamps and sleeves.
2.
Attach mounting clips to the wall.
3.
Attach stainless steel reactor chamber to mounting clips.
4.
Connect plumbing to inlet and outlet ports (for SUV-S-4-1/4 use 1/4" fittings provided, for use with 1/4" flexible tube).
5.
Install quartz sleeve and lamp, as follows;
a) Remove aluminium nut.
b) Slide the quartz sleeve through the reactor chamber.
c) Roll the O-rings on to the ends of the quartz sleeve.
d) Slide the lamp into the quartz sleeve.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the lamp glass as any fingerprints or dirt
will reduce the efficiency of the lamp and may cause it to fail.
e) Connect the lamp to the lamp socket.
f) Screw the nut on to the reactor chamber hand tight and place the PVC cap on the nut.
6.
Turn on the water and inspect for leaks.
7.
Plug the ballast into the electrical socket. Protection by a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit is recommended.
8.
Run water through the unit for 5-10 minutes before first use.
Maintenance -
To ensure the system remains effective, routine maintenance must be performed.
Frequency of maintenance will depend on source water quality and system usage.
-
Clean quartz sleeves with an alcohol wipe or similar every 3-6 months.
-
It is recommended that UV lamps are replaced within 9000 hours or 12 months (365 days x 24 hours = 8760 hours)
of use to ensure the system continues to operate as intended.
-
After 24 months, quartz sleeves should be inspected for scratches or reduced visibility, replace if necessary.
Operation
-
UV disinfection systems are designed for continuous use. There is a single LED light on the ballast to show the
status of the unit, when lit this is either RED or GREEN.
-
When a GREEN light is showing the unit is operational, although this does not indicate lamp life, annual
lamp change required.
-
If a RED light is shown and the alarm sounds the lamp or lamp socket needs attention or replacing. In the event
of power loss to the unit the RED light will show and the alarm will sound briefly, then no light will show.
Replacing UV lamp and servicing UV System

1.
Disconnect power.
2.
Turn water off and open the downstream of the system to relieve pressure.
3.
Remove the PVC cap and aluminium nuts.
4.
Carefully withdraw lamp approximately 5 cm from the reactor chamber.
5.
While holding lamp end, carefully remove lamp socket from the exposed end.
6.
Carefully withdraw the lamp fully from the reactor chamber.
7.
Carefully remove O-rings from the ends of the quartz sleeve.
8.
