Safety Consideraons
It is important that care is taken when operang and/or maintaining your system.
1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Energy given o by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly
at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protecon and always protect your skin
from direct exposure to the UV light.
3. For complete disinfecon, use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
4. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so.
Contact the manufacturer for service instrucons if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this
system could potenally cause harm to the user or others.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT
plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.
9. The disinfecon system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a
minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potenal tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or cered technician install the system.
Before You Begin
The following will be needed for installing the UV system:
Tools
• Pipe cuer, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your exisng
plumbing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, ux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for ghtening ngs)
Other Materials
• Inlet/outlet connecons
• Teon™ tape

Water Quality Parameters
UV disinfecon is only eecve if the UV light can pass through the water it needs to treat. This
means that the quality of your water is very important in order to ensure complete disinfecon.
Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water exceeds
the listed parameters LUMINOR strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment equip-
ment be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):
Hardness: <7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the
quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure e-
cient UV penetraon; if above the water must be soened.
Iron (Fe): <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: < 1 NTU
Tannins (organics): <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmiance): >85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is less than
80% for pre-treatment recommendaons)
You can have your water tested at a private analycal laboratory or by your local dealer. It is
always recommended to install pre-ltraon of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV disin-
fecon system.

System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specic ow rate in water that meets the quality param-
eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the ow above this rang or disinfecng water
that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the
ecacy of the system.
If you need to determine your maximum ow rate, you can ll a 1 gallon bucket with water and
me how long it takes to ll up. It is always beer to oversize your system then to undersize. For
example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10
gpm systems.
Locaon
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a locaon where the main cold water line is accessible.
The system must be installed aer other water treatment equipment (soener or lters), but
before any branches (See Figure 1). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before
the faucet. LUMINOR recommends that a 5 micron lter be installed before the UV system for a
nal polishing step before the water is disinfected.

To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space at the lamp connector end to safely
remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2).
The controller will require a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be
mounted beside or above the reactor.
PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV disinfecon systems are intended for indoor use only as they
should not be exposed to the elements.

9|Page
Installaon
Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or
vercally using the clamps provided. Vercal installaon is
the preferred method with the inlet at the boom (lamp
connecon at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the
lines to be easily purged from the system.
Step 2: The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended as
it will allow you to isolate the UV reactor. This will allow for
easier access in case maintenance is required (See Figure 3).
Step 3: Use the supplied fasteners to mount the UV reac-
tor to wood or drywall. If mounng to an alternate material
you will need to purchase the proper corresponding fasten-
ers.
Step 4: For water supplies where the maximum ow rate
is unknown, a ow restrictor is recommended so that the
rated ow of your parcular BLACKCOMB system is not ex-
ceeded. The ow restrictor should be installed on the inlet
port of the reactor.
Step 5: It is recommended to have a licensed plumber
connect the UV reactor to the water supply and may be a
requirement depending on where you are located.

Note: Installaon of your BLACKCOMB disinfecon systems shall
comply with applicable provincial/state & local regulaons.

Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the
quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch the length
with your hands. The use of coon gloves is recommended for this
procedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and
lamp which can ulmately block the UV light from geng to the wa-
te r.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor unl you can feel it hit the
opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so it centered along the
length of the reactor, then gently push it in to lock it into the inter-
nal centering springs in the far side of the reactor. CAUTION: Pushing
too hard when the sleeve is not aligned can damage the centering
springs. Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve unl it is bued up against
the reactor.
Figure 4. Quartz
Sleeve Installaon
Step 7: Hand ghten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end
of the reactor. It has a posive stop to prevent over-ghtening. A rm force may be required to
fully ghten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS for this step. Insert the provided stainless
steel compression spring into the quartz sleeve. The spring works with the lamp and LUMI-Loc™
connector to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT install a UV lamp inside
the quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 8: Install the UV sensor (BLACKCOMB6.1 systems only). Align the at poron so it faces
the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 5). Insert
the sensor so it is fully seated and hand ghten the sensor nut.
Figure 5. UV Sensor Installaon Figure 6. IEP Connecon
Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water ow. When all plumbing connecons have been
completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are
funconing properly and that the water is owing through the reactor. The most common leak
is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the reactor. For new installaons, review steps 6
and 7. For older systems drain the reactor, remove the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon grease.
Reinstall the o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the reactor and check again for
leaks.
Step 10: Mount the controller to the wall so it is above or beside the reactor to ensure that no
moisture can deposit on any of the connecons (see Figure 1). Always mount the controller ver-
cally. For monitored systems, insert the sensor connector into the IEP port located on the right
side of the controller (Figure 6). For the sensor to be recognized by the controller, the controller
power must be plugged in last. Do not plug the controller power cord in before the last step.

11|Page
Step 11: Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp
from its packaging. Again, the use of coon gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key from
the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be careful to not touch the key’s exposed
contacts. Insert the UV lamp into the reactor, being careful not to drop it.
Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (BLACKCOMB5.1, BLACKCOMB6.1 systems only).
The key always comes packaged with the lamp and sits on the connector. With the key removed
from the lamp, orient it so the label is upright and facing you. The key will plug into the lamp key
port on the right side of the controller (Figure 8).
Step 13: Plug the LUMI-Loc™ lamp connector into the lamp. Note the keying for proper align-
ment (see Figure 7a, 7b). Insert the lamp connector into the gland nut and turn the connector
approximately ¼ turn to lock the connector to the gland nut as in Figure 9.
Figure 8. Lamp Key Installaon Figure 9. LUMI-Loc™ Connector
Step 14: Tighten the capve ground screw to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper
grounding.
Figure 10. Ground Screw Connecon
Step 15: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet.
Refer to the following secon before any water is allowed to ow through the system.

System Disinfecon
With a new installaon, or any me the UV system is shut down for service, without power, or is
inoperave for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be contaminated. Use the
following steps to fully disinfect the lines throughout the enre home or facility.
Step 1: Check for and remove any “dead ends” in the lines throughout the home as these can
harbor bacteria. Plug in the UV system and wait unl it is ready for operaon.
Step 2: Remove the lter cartridge from the last sump and ll it with 1-2 cups of household
bleach (most are 5.25% chlorine). Replace the sump and slowly turn on the water supply.
Step 3: At a water outlet, run the water unl bleach can be smelled. Repeat this for all faucets,
toilets, shower heads, refrigerators, outdoor taps, the washing machine, dishwasher, etc. at the
home or facility. Once nished, wait a minimum of 30 minutes before connuing.
Step 4: Reinstall the lter cartridge into the sump and ush the chlorine soluon by opening
all faucets unl chlorine can no longer be detected. Your home has now been disinfected and
your BLACKCOMB UV system is ready to use.
Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve
Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum,
the quartz sleeve should be cleaned on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic clean-
ing procedure.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve o to prevent water ow through
the system. Otherwise, turn o main water inlet valve (and/or turn o the water pump).
Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close the outlet
shut-o valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-o valve, expect water to drain from the system
as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to ow back down.
Step 4: Remove the capve ground screw from the ground lug on the UV reactor.
Step 5: Remove the lamp connector from the reactor (gland nut) by pushing the LUMI-loc
connector in and turning it ¼ turn counter-clockwise. Disconnect the lamp connector from the
lamp. CAUTION: the lamp may be hot!
Step 6: Being careful to touch only the ceramic ends, remove the lamp out of the reactor.
Step 7: Unscrew the gland nut from the reactor exposing the end of the quartz sleeve.
Step 8: Remove the quartz sleeve and o-ring by gently twisng and pulling the quartz sleeve.
Step 9: Using a so, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using a commercial scale
cleaner (i.e. CLR® or LIME-A-WAY®). This removes scaling or iron deposits that may be on the
outside of the quartz sleeve. Be careful not to get any moisture or liquids inside of the sleeve.

13|Page
Step 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
Step 11: Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following steps 7 and 8
from the installaon secon of the manual.
Cleaning the UV Sensor
Depending on the water quality, the UV sensor may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum,
the UV sensor should be cleaning on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic clean-
ing procedure.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve o to prevent water ow through
the system. Otherwise, turn o main water inlet valve (and/or turn o the water pump).
Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close the outlet
shut-o valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-o valve, expect water to drain from the system
as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to ow back down.
Step 4: Place something under the reactor to catch any water that may come out of the reac-
tor during the removal of the UV sensor.
Step 5: Unscrew (counterclockwise) sensor nut from the reactor and pull the sensor slowly out
of the sensor port.
Step 6: Holding the sensor in your hand wipe the at poron (sensor face) of the sensor with
isopropyl alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7: Replace sensor following step 9 from the installaon secon of the manual.
Operaon
BLACKCOMB systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driv-
er (ballast) and control features in one water-ght case. Four main controllers are available for
the BLACKCOMB systems (depending on your model). All four models feature a power factor
corrected, constant current lamp driver with a universal power input.
Please Note: While the LED or display screen is red and the buzzer is sounding the water from
the system should NOT be consumed. If any water does pass through the system during this
period, please follow the disinfecon procedure as outlined in this manual before the water
is consumed. For BLACKCOMB4.1 and BLACKCOMB5.1 systems, even though they have a visual
and audible warning built into the controller, a green LED or status screen does not necessarily
indicate that the water coming from this system is in fact potable (safe to drink). These systems
do not measure the level of disinfecon; they simply measure the “on-o” status of the lamp.
Please have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular basis.

Simplisc in operaon, these systems feature a tri-colour
LED that indicang system status and a 4-digit display to in-
dicate lamp life remaining. Pressing the buon will change
the display to indicate total running me. When the UV lamp
is on and within its operang age, the LED will be green.
When the UV lamp is not on or the lamp life has expired,
the LED will be illuminated red and an audible buzzer will be
sounding. To remedy this condion, the UV lamp must be
replaced with a new genuine LUMINOR UV lamp.
BLACKCOMB5.1 & BLACKCOMB6.1 Controllers
LB5 / LB6
Series
LBH5 / LBH6
Series
A full colour LCD screen provides the user with a detailed
descripon of the system’s performance in addion to pro-
viding any applicable fault messages and system diagnoscs.
The controllers used in both the BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACK-
COMB6.1 are idencal. The dierence is that the BLACK-
COMB6.1 series of products includes a UV intensity monitor.
All BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACKCOMB6.1 controllers include an
“innite expandability port” located on the right side of the
controller. Simply plug in an oponal UV sensor module into
the expandability port of a BLACKCOMB5.1 controller and the
system will now monitor the UV intensity of the system!
BLACKCOMB5.1 & BLACKCOMB6.1 Power-up Sequence
On start up, the controller will run through a diagnosc start-up and the sequence will be dis-
played as follows on the colour LCD:
Next, the controller checks for and inializes any oponal modules that may be aached to the
system.
Oponal Modules Check

A nal module screen is displayed showing which specic modules were inialized.
The controller then displays the lamp opmizaon screen for 60 seconds to allow the lamp to
reach its opmum output. Finally, a nal “start-up complete” screen is displayed. The system will
now be ready to disinfect water ow.
all detected modules lamp reaching max output successful start-up
BLACKCOMB5.1 Operaonal Screens
On systems without the UV monitor, the default screen shows the LUMINOR Home Screen. At
any point during operaon the user is able to scroll through the LUMINOR Home Screen, Lamp
life remaining, QR Code, Contact Info and Maintenance Parts screens by pressing the buon
located on the front of the controller.
BLACKCOMB6.1 Operaonal Screens
On systems with the UV monitor, the system will display the same screens as on the BLACK-
COMB5.1 except the UV Intensity replaces the home screen. The UV Intensity screen displays
the level of UV light detected by the sensor. UV intensity can be aected by poor water quality,
scaling on the quartz sleeve and/or sensor, lamp failure or lamp expiring. The following screens
show the UV Intensity dropping.
Below 56%, the numbers and warning sign turn red and an audible chirp is given by the ballast
every 15 seconds. Below 51%, the screen is solid red and a constant audible alarm is given. This
alternates with a screen indicang “water may be unsafe for consumpon”. With the solenoid

To reset the mer in the controller, rmly hold down the buon on the controller for 10 seconds.
The controller will read “rSt3”, “rSt2”, “rSt1” and then beep. The buon can now be released, the
lamp countdown mer has been reset.
Lamp Replacement (BLACKCOMB5.1 & BLACKCOMB6.1 systems)
Aer the lamp is expired, it must be replaced with the same part number as indicated on the
Maintenance Parts screen or on the label on the reactor. With the system powered down,
remove and discard the lamp key from the controller. The replacement lamp is packaged with a
lamp key on the connector at the end of the lamp. Remove the key from the lamp and place it in
the controller. Refer to Installaon, starng with step 11 (page 11) for instrucons on installing
the new lamp.

Temperature Management Devices
Your LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system is designed to run connuously to ensure opmal
disinfecon. However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy
from the disinfecon process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise.
In extreme situaons elevated water temperature or the uctuaon in temperature can lower
the output of the UV lamp. In these cases, or if the elevated water temperature is a nuisance,
LUMINOR recommends one of the following forms of temperature management devices.
Cooling Fan
Designed for use on the BLACKCOMB-HO systems, the “LUMI-coolTM” fan runs
connuously to cool the water by forced convecon. The long-life fan is powered
independently using a compact modular power adapter that operates from 90-
265V (47-63Hz). Order PN 130014.
Temperature Relief Valve (TRV)
On reaching a higher temperature, the TRV is designed to drain a small amount
of water to allow fresh, cooler water to enter the system. The TRV works without
power and comes complete with 10’ of drain line. Order PN 130031 for 1/2”
ports, PN 130032 for 3/4” ports, PN 130033 for 1” ports and PN 130034 for
1 1/2” ports.
Expansion Modules
BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACKCOMB6.1 controllers incorporate an “Innite Expandability Port” (IEP)
which allows for expansion to the UV sensor and all other modules. Each module (including the
sensor) comes with both a male and female connecon. Connect any device to the controller
and all subsequent devices are then connected into the female end of last device added in a
“daisy chain” conguraon.
The following oponal expansion modules are available for use on BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACK-
COMB6.1 UV controllers. Contact your authorized distributor for purchasing informaon.
REMOTE ALARM CONNECTION MODULE: Allows
for a connecon to a remote device such as a buzzer,
light, alarm system, PLC, etc., via a pair of contacts.
In normal operaon the OK and COM contacts will
be connected, and in a fault condion (Low UV,
Lamp fail, Power Fail), the Fault and COM contacts
will be connected. Maximum contact rang is 30V /
1A (use 16-22 AWG). Order PN MOD-RAM.
