1.-SAFETY WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: The instruction manual you are holding includes essential information on the safety measures to be implemented
for installation and start-up. Therefore, the installer as well as the user must read the instructions before beginning installation
and start-up. Keep this manual for future reference.
The following safety instructions have to be taken into consideration when installing or using the Ultraviolet Unit:The unit is for swimming
pool and Spas only. Do not use this device for potable water sanitation (drinking water).The system must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), otherwise could result in electrical shock causing serious bodily
injuries, including death.
- Disconnect all power supplies during installation.
- Do not operate the Ultraviolet unit if the power supply lead is damaged.
- Replace damaged cords immediately.
- To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken keeping all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands.
- For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the unit to an authorized service facility for servicing:
·If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the
appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
·Do not operate any unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning of if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
- Never view the ultraviolet lamp directly while operating as it could cause eyes injures, burns or even blindness.
- Lamps and quartz sleeves are extremely delicate. Care should be taken when handling or replacing these components:
·Wear cotton gloves when handling lamps or sleeves.
·Hold bulbs by the ends only and never touch the glass with bare hands, since it would leave dirt which would reduce it working life.
·If any fingerprint, clean it with alcohol.
- Allow the ultraviolet lamps to cool before handling.
- Check that the nut, washer and O'ring are correctly positioned, otherwise the quartz sleeves could be expelled from their holder at
speed and injure you.
Special safety warning must be taken into consideration for the mode ATEC UV- C Ozone:
- The UV lamp generates ozone that emits a strong odor, even in very small quantities, and can be harmful for eyes, nose and skin.
- Check the system for any leakage. A proper installation and the correct position of the sealing rings are of crucial importance.
2 INTRODUCTION.-
Ozone and UV-C are the two most efficient disinfection processes in water treatment. By mixing these two concepts in one
unique equipment you will keep your swimming pool water always fresh, crystal clear and totally disinfected, reducing the
use of chlorine to a minimum.
2-1.-HOW DOES THE UV WORK?
Ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added which
makes this process simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance. UV-C light is becoming increasingly favored by
the pool industry as its ability to break down and remove chloramines, which will cause eye, skin and nose irritation, and
breathing difficulties.
UV-C light at a particular wavelength 253.7nm is a very pow erful germicide. It deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and
other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. (Fig 1)

UV dose of 30mJ/cm , is sufficient for disinfection of the water and protection against 99.9% chlorine-resistant
microorganisms.

A-Technologyies FZCO has developed a different model which combines the ozone and UV-C technology in one unique
equipment. See Technical specifications for mode ATEC UV- C Ozone.
ATEC UV- C Ozone model contains a high intensity Ultraviolet lamp different than the other UV
models. This special lamp emits two separates wavelengths within the UV spectrum: 254 nm and 185 nm.
While the 254 nm wavelength deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, the 185 nm wavelength is
responsible for converting the oxygen contained in the quartz sleeve area into ozone.
The ozone produced is introduced into the water stream by Venturi effect.
Finally, the Ozone and UV will work together to destroy micro-organism such as molds, Legionella bacteria, parasites, algae or
viruses, and also breaks down urine, transpiration, cosmetics and sun cream lotion particles without leaving any by-products.

3.- MAIN ADVANTAGES
Ultraviolet advantages:
- Protects your pool against pathogenic organism and algae.
- Environmental friendly.
- No risk of allergies.
- Non-irritation to skin.
- Corrosion and Odor-free.
- Reduces chlorine consumption up to 85%.
- UV-C low pressure lamp life for 9000 hours. Amalgam lamp life for 12000 hours.
- The device indicates when the lamp must be replaced. (Only T models).
- Housing with mirror polished Stainless Steel AISI-316L that increases the UV-C radiation reflection, thereby increasing the
efficiency by up to 35%.
- Easy installation and maintenance.

Ozone advantages (Only available for Model ATEC UV- C Ozone):
- Protects your pool against pathogenic organism and algae.
- Environmental friendly.
- No risk of allergies.
- Non-irritation to skin.
- Corrosion and Odor-free.
- Low maintenance.
- Urine, sun cream, cosmetics and transpiration are broken down by Ozone.
- Can reduce the use of chlorine by up to 90%.
- Ozone lamp life for 10000 hours.
- The device indicates when the lamp must be replaced.
- Cost-saving
4.- PRE-INSTALLATION
Install the unit taking into consideration the access and space for servicing, and in a position where the lamp can be taken
out easily.
It is important to design the equipment according to the flow rate required for the installation. If water passes through the unit
too fast, the exposure time required for its maximum efficiency will be not enough.
For this reason, the Ultraviolet equipment selected for your pool has to allow a maximum flow rate equal to the filtration
pump(s) system.
We also recommend to install the unit in a by-pass.
