2.4 Installing the Lamp
Carefully slide the lamp into the quartz (dropping the lamp can break the quartz). Once it is
in place, connect the lamp to the socket. When you have done that, tighten the cap to the nut
and then plug in the unit. For systems that are designed for outdoor use, the cap will have a
strain relief to prevent water from infiltration.
3. Maintenance –(optional quartz sleeve wiper)
As noted in this manual, your lamp needs to be replaced on a yearly basis to insure proper
disinfection. The quartz sleeve should be inspected and cleaned at this time. Depending on
the water quality the quartz sleeve may need to be cleaned on a more frequent basis.
The quartz may have “build up” on it. If it does, clean it with soap and water. If the quartz is
stained, use a product like CLR or Lime-A-way (both available at the grocery store).
In many projects, the unit has come equipped with a manual quartz cleaning system. This
plunger allows the operator to push a yoke back and forth to clean the UV systems quartz
sleeves.
When using the wiper system, insure that the Blades are not parked in front of the UV sensor
as this will provide false readings.
When you remove the quartz, please follow the same instructions as above in reverse.
Track you maintenance record on the front page of this manual.
4. Operation Status and Alarms
Basic systems come with lamp status displays LEDs. The Green LED indicates that the
lamp is operating. In the event that it goes out, it may mean that the lamp is out.
A run time meter allows the user to track the operating hours of the system and allows the
operator to track the 9,000 hours and allows the operator to replace the lamp at the right
time.
5. Service Instructions
