Procedure:
1.
For shipping purposes, the UV lamp is shipped in a separate cardboard tube. Carefully remove the UV lamp from the
shipping tube being careful not to touch the “glass” portion with your fingers. Insert the UV lamp into the quartz sleeve
and chamber making sure the connection end is inserted last. Mount the disinfection system to the wall with the supplied
clamps. If required, a double-end clamp can be purchased from your dealer to affix to an RO membrane.
2.
If the disinfection system is to be hard plumbed, make sure you leave enough clearance at lamp connector to facilitate
lamp service (a length equal to the length of the unit should suffice).
3.
Various connection methods can be used to connect the water source to the disinfection system, however union type
connectors are recommended. The use of a flow restrictor device is strongly recommended when installing your
disinfection system in order that the manufacturers recommended flow rate not be exceeded. These flow restrictors are
available from your dealer.
Note:
Do not solder connections while attached to the disinfection system as this could damage the o-ring seals.
4.
Prior to connecting the power source, check all connections to ensure that they are indeed secure, turn on water supply
and check for any leaks. If satisfied that there are no leaks, proceed with the following steps.
5.
Attach the lamp connector to the UV lamp, slide the connector over the retaining nut.
Notes:
1) If ballast enters alarm condition, power must be removed for 30 seconds to allow ballast to reset.
2)
As the system requires time to reach its full operating capacity, please allow the disinfection system to operate
3 - 5 minutes prior to using the water from the unit. In addition, to clear any air or debris from the system, allow
water to run through the disinfection system for 2 - 3 minutes (when using an RO application, run the water for
30 - 45 seconds).
3.1 Power Installation
1.
To connect the line voltage to the power connector terminal at the ballast, pull to remove the detachable power terminal
connector from the mating connector at the Power side of the ballast.
2.
Connect the Live line to the terminal marked 1 (L1), Neutral line to the terminal marked 2 (L2) and the Ground wire to the
terminal marked 3 (GND), and secure with the associated screws on the connector.
3.
Ensure that the Ground, Neutral and Live lines are all connected to the detachable plug in terminal connector then insert
the connector back to the ballast mating connector located at the AC INPUT side of the ballast. Caution: Ensure the
detachable power terminal connector is inserted at the AC INPUT side of the ballast ONLY
4.
Apply power to the system.

WA R N I N G
•
Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system.
•
Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing.
•
Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present.
•
Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.
•
Always drain the chamber when closing a seasonal home or leaving the unit in an area subject to freezing temperatures.
