Operation
5.1 Basic Systems Incorporating BA-ICE-S Controller
5.1.1 UV lamp Life Remaining (days)
The controller tracks the number of days of operation of the UV lamp and the controller. The default screen will
display the total UV lamp life remaining (in days). The controller will count down the number of days remaining until the UV
lamp requires changing (365 days to 1 day). At “0” days, the controller will display
and sound an intermittent audible
chirp (1 second on, 5 seconds off), indicating the need to change the UV lamp.
5.1.2 Understanding your “A3” Code
DEFERRAL
- Once the “A3” or end of UV lamp life message is shown on the LED display, the audible alarm can be
deferred up to 4 separate times. The delay is designed to allow you time to address the alarm while you obtain a new UV
lamp. This can be done by simply depressing the timer reset button for 5 seconds, which is located on the left side of the
controller. Each time the timer reset button is pressed the controller alarm is deferred seven days. Once the final 7 day
deferral has been reached the alarm can only be silenced by changing the UV lamp and manually resetting the controller
timer, refer to
5.1.3 Resetting UV lamp Life
.
Note:
Even though the alarm on the system can be deferred for a period of time, it is important to address each and every
alarm condition as they are indicating that there is a potential problem with the system and should be remedied.
5.1.4 Total Days of Operation
The controller also displays the total running time of the controller. To obtain this reading, press the push-button
once. The total running time of the controller will be numerically displayed in days. This information will remain displayed
for ten seconds and will then revert back to the UV lamp life remaining default screen. It should be noted that this value
cannot be reset.
5.1.5 UV lamp Failure (Blank Screen)
When the system recognizes UV LAMP FAILURE (no current running through the UV lamp), the display will be
blank
(no default UV LAMP LIFE REMAINING screen) and the system will sound an intermittent audible tones
(1 second on,1 second off). The system will remain in this state, until this condition is remedied.
WA R N I N G
The advanced warning system has been installed to provide the optimum protection against microbiological contamination in water. DO NOT
disregard the warning signals. The best way to ensure optimum UV performance is to have the water microbiologically tested by a recognized testing
agency on a regular basis.
