Cabled UV Biofouling Control - Quick Start Guide
This document is a summary guide for setting up Cabled UV Biofouling Control. Complete details may be found in
the Cabled UV Biofouling Control user manual.
Caution: Cabled UV emits Ultraviolet light. Care should be taken to avoid direct exposure to skin or eyes.
1. Mount device: Mount the head of the device within approximately 10 cm (~4 inches) of the target surface.
Be sure to clamp only the clamping surface of the device. Refer to Figure 2 for UV beam spread in seawater.

Figure 2 - Approximate beam spread in seawater
2. Align UV module to target surface: Unthread the blue retaining collar and pull uniformly on the quartz
tube to access and align the UV module. Loosen the setscrew to rotate and align the module. Reinstall in
the reverse order.

3. Set duty cycle: If you are using AML’s Duty Cycle Controller (PDC-DCC-05), plug Cabled UV into the
DCC’s female connector after setting the duty cycle. Duty cycle is controlled by 60 DIP switches located on
the timing board enclosed in the DCC. Each switch represents two minutes, where up is on and down is off.
Detailed instructions on setting the DCC’s duty cycle are available in the Duty Cycle Controller quick start
guide and user manual.
4. Power the device and check operation: Provide 12-26 VDC to Cabled UV to confirm operation and
module orientation. Standard white paper will fluoresce a bright blue/purple when exposed to UV light.
Confirm that the target surface will be protected by placing paper on the target surface after powering Cabled
UV. A pin-out wiring diagram for Cabled UV is on page 3 of Cabled UV Biofouling Control –Customer
Overview Drawing at the end of the Cabled UV Biofouling Control user manual.
5. Deploy the device: Deploy Cabled UV up to a maximum depth of 500 m [1640 ft.].
