If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
For complete disinfection , use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so. Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.
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.
The 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 potential tripping hazards.
We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician install the system.
This product is not to be used for general lighting / illumination.

Before You Begin
The following will be needed for installing the UV system:
Tools

Pipe cutter, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your existing plumbing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)
Soldering tools (torch, flux, emery cloth and solder)
Wrench (for tightening fittings)

Other Materials

Inlet/outlet connections
Teflon™ tape

Water Quality Parameters
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 equipment be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):

Hardness:| <7 gig (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gig or slightly below the quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure efficient UV penetration; if above the water must be softened.
---|---
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 (transmittance):| <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)<0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L) < 1 NTU <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)

You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is always recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV disinfection system.
**LUMINOR’s systems are tested for reduction of the MS-2 coliphage challenge microorganism to demonstrate a log reduction greater than or equal to the reduction caused by a dose of 40mJ/cm 2 .**

Assembly

Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components:
LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water Purification System - Wrong
lamp2

System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality parameters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the efficacy of the system.
If you need to determine your maximum flow rate, you can fill a 1 gallon bucket with water and time how long it takes to fill up. It is always better to oversize your system then to undersize. For example, if your pump delivers 8 gym it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10 gym systems.
Location
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a location where the main cold water line is accessible. The system must be installed after other water treatment equipment (softener or filters), 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 filter be installed before the UV system for a final 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 disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.

Installation

Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or vertically using the clamps provided. Vertical installation is the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp connection 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 4).
Step 3: Fasten chamber clamps to wall with screws provided. The screws must anchor securely into solid wood, concrete, or steel structure for adequate strength. Do not attempt to secure screws into drywall (Figure 3a). Install Chamber into clamps (Figure 3b).
Step 4: For water supplies where the maximum flow rate is unknown, a flow restrictor is recommended so that the rated flow of your particular BLACKCOMB system is not exceeded. The flow 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. LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water Purification System - Cooling
Fan1

Note: Installation of your BLACKCOMB disinfection systems shall comply with applicable provincial/ state & local regulations. **

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 cotton gloves is recommended for this procedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water. Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until 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 internal 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 until it is butted up against the reactor.

Step 7 : Hand tighten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end of the reactor. It has a positive stop to prevent over- tightening. A firm force may be required to fully tighten 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 ( BLACKCOMB6.1systems only). Align the flat portion so it faces the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 6). Insert the sensor so it is fully seated and hand tighten the sensor nut. LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water
Purification System - flat portion

Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are functioning properly and that the water is flowing through the reactor. The most common leak is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the reactor. For new installations, review steps 5 and 6. 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: Fasten controller securely to wall with screws provided. Drywall anchors may be used. Note that the controller must be mounted vertically for adequate airflow across the aluminum heat sink on back (see Figure 7). For monitored systems, insert the sensor connector into the IEP located on the right side of the controller (Figure 8). 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.
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 cotton 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. LUMINOR
BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water Purification System - Lamp
Connection

Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (BLACKCOMB5.1 , BLACKCOMB 6.1 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 10).
Step 13 : Plug the LUMI-Loc™ lamp connector into the lamp. Note the keying for proper alignment (see Figure 9a, 9b). 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 11.

LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water Purification System -

Step 14: Tighten the captive ground screw to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper grounding.

Step 15: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet. Refer to the following section before any water is allowed to flow through the system.

System Preparation

With a new installation, or any time the UV system is shut down for service, without power, or is inoperative for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be contaminated. Use the following steps to prepare the lines throughout the entire home or facility.
Step 1 : Check for and remove any “dead ends” in the lines throughout the home as these can harbor dirt and debris. Plug in the UV system and wait until it is ready for operation.
Step 2: Remove the filter cartridge from the last sump and fill 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 until 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 finished, wait a minimum of 30 minutes before continuing.
Step 4: Reinstall the filter cartridge into the sump and flush the chlorine solution by opening all faucets until chlorine can no longer be detected. 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 cleaning procedure.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water flow through the system. Otherwise, turn off main water inlet valve (and/or turn off 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-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect water to drain from the system as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to flow back down.
Step 4: Remove the captive 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-lock 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 twisting and pulling the quartz sleeve.
Step 9: Using a soft, 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.
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 installation section 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 cleaned on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic cleaning procedure.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water flow through the system. Otherwise, turn off main water inlet valve (and/or turn off 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-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect water to drain from the system as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to flow back down.
Step 4: Place something under the reactor to catch any water that may come out of the reactor 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 flat portion (sensor face) of the sensor with isopropyl alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7: Replace sensor following step 9 from the installation section of the manual.

Operation

BLACKCOMB systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driver (ballast) and control features in one water-tight 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 disinfection procedure as outlined in this manual before the water is consumed. For BLACKCOMBsystems, 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 disinfection4.1 and BLACKCOMB 5.1 ; they simply measure the “on-off” status of the lamp.
Please have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular basis.
Simplistic in operation, these systems feature a tri-colour LED that indicating system status and a 4-digit display to indicate lamp life remaining. Pressing the button will change the display to indicate total running time. When the UV lamp is on and within its operating 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 condition, the UV lamp must be replaced with a new genuine LUMINOR UV lamp.

BLACKCOMB5.1 & BLACKCOMB 6.1

Controllers

A full colour LCD screen provides the user with a detailed description of the system’s performance in addition to providing any applicable fault messages and system diagnostics. The controllers used in both the BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACKCOMB 5.1 are identical. The difference is that the BLACKCOMB 6.1 series of products includes a UV intensity monitor. All BLACKCOMB 6.1 controllers include an “infinite expandability port” located on the right side of the controller. Simply plug in an optional UV sensor module into the expandability port of a BLACKCOMB 5.1 and BLACKCOMB 6.1 controller and the system will now monitor the UV intensity of the system!

BLACKCOMB5.1 & BLACKCOMB6.1Power-up Sequence
On start up, the controller will run through a diagnostic start-up and the sequence will be displayed as follows on the colour LCD: LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51

Warning: After any hard alarm, the home or facility should be disinfected. Follow the steps under the “System Preparation” heading.
Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a BLACKCOMB UV system, the water must not be used for human consumption until the system is returned to normal operational mode. If the water is used for human consumption during this period, the water must be boiled (minimum 20 minutes at a full boil) prior to consumption.
Temperature Management Devices
Your LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system is designed to run continuously to ensure optimal disinfection . However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy from the disinfection process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise. In extreme situations elevated water temperature or the fluctuation 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-cool ”™ fan runs continuously to cool the water by forced convection. The long-life fan is powered independently using a compact modular power adapter that operates from 100-240V/50-60Hz. ±10%. The cooling fan must only be supplied at SELV. 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
BLACKCOMB5.1and BLACKCOMB6.1 controllers incorporate an “Infinite 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 connection. 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” configuration. The UV sensor must only be supplied at SELV.
LUMINOR BLACKCOMB 51 UV Water Purification System -
Modules The following optional expansion modules are available for use on BLACKCOMB5.1and BLACKCOMB6.1UV controllers. Contact your authorized distributor for purchasing information.
REMOTE ALARM CONNECTION MODULE: Allows for a connection to a remote device such as a buzzer, light, alarm system, PLC, etc., via a pair of contacts. In normal operation the OK and COM contacts will be connected, and in a fault condition (Low UV, Lamp fail, Power Fail), the Fault and COM contacts will be connected. Maximum contact rating is 30V / 1A (use 16-22 AWG). The remote alarm module must only be supplied at SELV. Order PN MOD-RAM.
SOLENOID CONNECTION MODULE: Connects a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the controller. Maximum contact rating is 240VAC (50-60Hz) / 30VDC / 2A. On a non-monitored system, the solenoid will only close on a lamp failure error. On a monitored system, the solenoid is closed when the UV level drops below 50%. Also note that in cases where emergency use of un- treated water is required, the controller can be placed into a manual override mode allowing for the flow of water in an alarm condition. Order PN MOD-SOL.

4-20 mA MODULE: Outputs a 4-20mA signal of the UV output to a remote device such as a data logger or computer. The 4-20mA module must only be supplied at SELV.
Order PN MOD-420.

The WiFi module and accompanying IoT application allows you to connect your UV system to a smart phone, tablet, computer or other connected platform. View system status, receive SMS or email messages of alarm conditions and monitor the health of your UV from anywhere via this connected platform. Connect the device via the APP found on Google Play or the APP Store. Connect your UV device to your router, download the software for your connected device and have peace of mind that your UV system is fully operational. *Not available in all markets.

The Ultrasonic Flow Meter enables your UV system to dim power in times of low to no flow, saving you money on energy, reducing water temperature, and decreasing the risk of fouling. The flow meter module must only be supplied at SELV.
