PERFORMANCE
CONSIDERATIONS
The performance of the UVD320E UV disinfection chamber has been
third party validated using accepted bioassay techniques. The
UVD320E is equipped with both visible and audio lamp failure alarms.
For your safety, it is necessary that you determine that the audio
alarm can be heard where you use the water treated by the unit. It is
possible to operate the unit with the lamp disconnected which will
allow you to validate the adequacy of the audio alarm function in your
installation. In order to optimize disinfection performance, you must
only use the unit with water that meets the minimum standard and
replace the UV lamp at recommended intervals. Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in reduced disinfection performance.
UV RADIATION HAZARD
NEVER OPERATE UV LAMP OUTSIDE OF THE UV
DISINFECTION CHAMBER –EXPOSURE TO UV LIGHT
CAN RESULT IN EXTREME BURNING OF SKIN AND EYES
Safety instructions –Please read
carefully
Danger: Do not plug the unit in if any of the external surfaces or
electrical parts is wet. Condensation on the disinfection chamber is
normal.
Danger: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken since water may be present near electrical equipment. Unless
referred to in these instructions, do not attempt repairs yourself.
Contact the manufacturer for service advice.
Danger: Do not operate this system if it has a damaged electrical cord
or plug, is malfunctioning, or has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
Caution: Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended
potable water application. The use of attachments not recommended,
approved or sold by the manufacturer/distributor may result in an
unsafe condition.
Caution: Before any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the unit.
Caution: Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from the unit
if freezing temperatures exist.
WATER QUALITY
Your UV disinfection system requires clean water for optimum
performance. You should only operate your unit if the source water
meets the following standards.
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Connect your UV unit to a grounded (3 pronged) receptacle (120V,
60HZ) (a GFI is highly recommended) and ensure that the lamp
connector ground wire is connected to the ground stud on the top of
the reactor vessel. Note: Power source for applications outside of
North America must match requirements of the unit (eg. 240V, 50Hz).
UV Dynamics disinfection devices are designed to be installed on
the cold water line only.
The unit must be installed vertically with the lamp connector
pointing upwards –the water source should only be connected to the
inlet port on the bottom of the unit. CAUTION: reversing the flow
direction by connecting the water source to the side mounted output
port could result in reduced disinfection performance and improper
operation of the flow regulator.
Install your UV Dynamics disinfection system indoors in a protected
area where the temperature does not fall below 4C. (40F) and the
humidity level is low (to prevent condensation on the chamber). This
unit functions ideally in a temperature range from 9C - 29C. (49 –
85F)
Use teflon tape on all pipe connections. DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER SEALANT.
If the installation location is subject to frequent power outages,
surges, brown out conditions or electrical storm activity, a surge
protection device should be installed on the AC supply to prevent
damage to the power source.
Do not connect UVDynamics disinfection systems directly to PEX
tubing or other plastic piping. Plastic material will suffer structural
degradation, and possible service failures, when subjected to long-
term UV light exposure. PEX tubing and plastic piping can be
connected directly to the inlet port if it is located on the bottom of
the chamber. All side ports will require the use of a metallic light dam
(16”/40cm section of metallic tubing, street elbow or stainless steel
flex connector suitably bent to prevent direct UV radiation)

Installation Procedure
The UV disinfection system should be the last step of your water
treatment system. Choose a location for installation with a close
electrical outlet. Note the direction of water flow in the supply line.
Refer to the plumbing diagram and check that you have all necessary
fittings for installation. Note: A minimum of 17” clearance at lamp
cord end of the chamber will allow most maintenance procedures to
be accomplished without removing the disinfection chamber from its
mounting bracket.
Shut off the main water supply valve.
Mount the unit to the wall using the mounting bracket provided.
Mount ballast on the bracket beside the chamber.
Install new plumbing as per diagram. Note: When installing the 5-
micron pre-filter, make sure the flow arrows on them point in the same
direction as the water flow. WARNING: if soldering, do not allow
heat near plastic threads or fittings.
Place the thinner “O” ring into the groove of the gland nut holder,
and the thicker “O” ring on the open end of the quartz sleeve. Then
push the quartz sleeve into the gland nut until the sleeve touches the
top.
Place the quartz sleeve into the opening at the top of the UV
chamber and screw it into place.
Place the lamp spring and the lamp into the quartz sleeve and,
holding the top of the lamp, attach lamp to the lamp connector. Push
the lamp connector down snugly into the gland nut and tighten the
retainer screw.
WARNING: do not over tighten as plastic threads are easily
damaged
Remove the nut from the ground stud at the top of the unit. Next
place the ground wire (green wire with yellow stripe) over the stud and
re-install nut and tighten.
Open the valves on either side of the disinfection chamber. Check
for leaks. Open supply valve slowly and bleed air from system.
Connect UV power source to AC line. UV power source audio
alarm will sound three times before igniting the lamp.
Your UV Dynamics disinfection system is now ready for service.
Before service begins, all household plumbing lines should be
chemically disinfected.
DISINFECTION PROCEDURE
THE FOLLOWING DISINFECTION PROCEDURE IS GENERALLY
ACCEPTED AS BEING SUITABLE FOR THE DISINFECTION OF
PLUMBING SYSTEMS KNOWN TO BE CONTAMINATED.
IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF THIS
PROCEDURE YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL
HEALTH AUTHORITY RESPONSIBLE FOR WATER SAFETY.
The UV disinfection process takes place only in the UV disinfection
chamber and the process provides no residual disinfection capability,
therefore it is necessary to chemically disinfect the entire
plumbing system before using water treated by the UV system.
The disinfection of the plumbing system is most readily
accomplished by removing the 5 micron sediment filter cartridge and
adding 250ml - 500ml (1 –2 cups) of standard 5.25% concentration
un-scented chlorine bleach to the empty filter housing and
re-installing.
Verify that the UV disinfection unit is connected to the AC supply
voltage and operating properly.
Operate all faucets, fixtures and appliances until you clearly
smell chlorine and shut off. This includes showerheads, outside taps,
dishwashers, laundry equipment and any appliance connected to the
plumbing system.
Leave the bleach solution for 30 minutes.
Re-install the sediment filter cartridge and thoroughly flush the
system at all fixtures and appliances connected to the system.
Note: The introduction of a chlorine disinfection solution to a hot water
heater that has been used with untreated hard water or water with
excessive iron, manganese or other organic contaminants may lead to
oxidization of these materials. If you feel that these conditions may
apply to your installation, a thorough flushing of the hot water tank
should be undertaken to eliminate the oxidized material from the
system.
UV POWER SOURCE FEATURES
The microprocessor controlled UV power source supplied with the
UVD320E has both audio and visual alarm indicators to indicate the
lamp operation and an integral annual lamp change reminder timer.
UV power source initialization sequence: When AC power is
applied to the UV power source the lamp is ignited as indicated by the
green lamp-on LED, after which the power source conducts a self test
of the annual lamp change reminder timer LED and alarm buzzer
consisting of three buzzer beeps and three red timer LED flashes. If a
solenoid is connected to the UV power source it will activate on
completion of the self-test sequence.
Normal Operation: During normal operation only the green lamp-on
LED is illuminated.
Lamp failure: When the UV power source detects a lamp failure or
enters the auto shut down mode due to abnormal operating
conditions, the alarm buzzer sounds and the green lamp-on LED is
extinguished. If connected, the solenoid valve will terminate the water
flow.
Lamp timer operation: The annual lamp change reminder timer will
run for approximately one full year. At the end of the one-year period
the lamp change reminder timer will flash and the buzzer will sound.
The flashing LED indicates that the timer function is in the 28-day
grace period. Pushing the timer button during this grace period will
silence the buzzer for a seven-day period, but the LED will continue to
flash. The buzzer reset can be activated a maximum of four times
during the 28 day grace period. Under no circumstance does the
grace period exceed 28 days. At the expiry of the 28-day grace period
the UV power source indicates the lamp change alarm mode by
illuminating the red timer LED continuously and sounding the buzzer.
Note: The UV lamp is not shut down in this alarm mode and the
solenoid valve drive is not disabled.
Time remaining: When the lamp change reminder timer is not in the
grace period or lamp change alarm mode, the number of months of
lamp life remaining can be determined by pressing the timer button
and counting the number of red timer LED flashes.
Note: The UV power source is designed to shut down if the AC input
voltage is outside of operating limits. When a lamp failure alarm is
active you should unplug the unit from the AC power source, wait for
fifteen seconds and then reconnect to the AC power source. If the
failure was due to out of limit AC power the unit will re-ignite the lamp
and operate normally.

Operating and Maintenance
Your UV system is on continuously during normal use.
After periods of not using your water supply exceeding 2-3 days, it is
recommended to open all faucets and flush your plumbing lines for a
minute or two.
Caution: Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from the unit
if freezing temperatures exist.
Ultraviolet lamp replacement:The ultraviolet lamp located inside the
chamber will operate effectively, around the clock, for approximately
one year. The lamp will light longer than that. However, the UV light
penetration may fall below the prescribed safety level. Therefore,
annual lamp replacement is necessary regardless of apparent
condition.
Replacing the UV lamp and cleaning the quartz
sleeve
Note: Do not touch the lamp or the quartz sleeve with your fingers.
Handle by ends only or wear soft gloves.
Unplug the system from the electrical outlet and turn off all water
supplies to the unit.
Carefully extract the lamp connector from the sleeve gland nut
assembly to expose just the top of the lamp. While holding the lamp
base firmly, remove the lamp power connector. Caution: lamp base
can be very hot –be careful not to drop lamp into quartz sleeve as it is
easily broken.
Carefully slide the UV lamp out of the quartz sleeve and discard
according to local regulations.
Remove the quartz sleeve by loosening the gland nut and carefully
extracting it from unit. Caution: The quartz sleeve is fragile and is
easily chipped or broken –use care when removing or installing.
Clean the quartz sleeve with a vinegar solution or a readily
available scale removal product (Limeaway, CLR etc.)
Re-install the quartz sleeve –replace “O” ring if it appears
damaged.
Install new lamp by reversing procedure described in step 2 above.
Slowly open water supply valve and purge air from system –verify
that there are no leaks before reconnecting to AC power.
RESETTING THE LAMP CHANGE TIMER
The lamp change reminder timer is reset by disconnecting the UV
power source from the AC supply, waiting for fifteen seconds and
reconnecting to the AC supply with the timer button depressed. The
UV power source will emit a solid three-second beep indicating that
the reset was successful.
It is not possible to reset the lamp change timer unless the timer
is in the grace or lamp change alarm mode. If you need to reset
the lamp change reminder timer prior to the full one-year time
period expiring due to premature lamp failure, there are special
instructions included with all replacement lamps describing the
necessary procedure.
