Please read through these instructions for use carefully before installing this device.

Operation

In the Blue Lagoon UV-C Timer, a UV-C radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm is generated by the special Philips UV lamp, ensuring a lethal effect on bacteria (including  Legionella bacteria). The Blue Lagoon UV-C Timer will ensure that your pool water is clean, fresh and clear in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner. The water is  led through the UV-C device via a pump. The UV-C radiation neutralises bacteria, viruses and other primitive organisms and stops them from multiplying. The Blue Lagoon  UV-C Timer has a built-in high-frequency electronic ballast, which absorbs current fluctuations, thereby protecting the lamp. In addition, the device contains an integrated  time meter that accurately monitors the number of operating hours. You can therefore see exactly when the lamp must be replaced. In addition, the stainless steel interior  ensures the reflection of the UV-C rays, thereby increasing the efficiency up to 35%. Thanks to the Blue Lagoon UV-C Timer, your swimming pool water will be disinfected efficiently and safely, and the quality of your water will remain excellent.

Installation of the earth (Drawing 1)

1. Pull the cable ( B ) through the strain relief ( F ) before fitting the synthetic strain relief ( F ) onto the earth bolt ( A ). Position the strain relief ( F) at approximately 10 cm from the eye ( H ) of the earth cable ( B ).
2. Place the eye ( H ) of the cable ( B) onto the earth bolt ( A ) that is fitted to the housing.
3. Then place a toothed lock washer ( C ), a hexagon nut ( D ) and another toothed lock washer ( E ) on top of the eye ( H).
4. Fit the strain relief ( F ) on top, creating a loop of Ø 5 cm.
5. Finally place the lock nut ( G ) onto the earth bolt ( A ).
6. Once the various nuts have been placed onto the earth bolt ( A ) in the correct sequence, they can be tightened with a spanner or a ring spanner number 8. Do not tighten  too firmly, otherwise you may crack the strain relief. (The transparent nut that was screwed on the earth bolt ( A ) on delivery has no further use, and can be discarded).

Installation of the device (Drawing 2)
The Blue Lagoon UV-C Timer must never be installed behind the Ph regulator or the salt electrolysis system in your swimming pool installation. The ideal location to install  your device is behind the pump and the filter. Never submerge this device in water. The installation must always take place outside of the pool. Ensure that there is always water flowing through the unit when the lamp is on.

1. Determine where the device will be installed. Make sure to leave a free area (+/- 1 metre) in order to be able to remove the lamp ( K ) /quartz glass ( M ) for the purpose of replacement and/or maintenance.
2. Fit the supplied pipe clips (O) in fixed positions, press the unit into the pipe clips and tighten the three-part coupling ( I ). Pay hereby attention to the correct position of the sealing rings ( P ), both with regard to the connections and the quartz glass (see drawing 2).
3. Fit the unit into the circuit using the three-part couplings ( I ). The inlet and outlet of the three-part coupling is Ø 63 mm. If your pipes are smaller than 63 mm, you can  use the adapter (Ø 63 x Ø 50 mm) ( T ). This must be glued onto the three-part coupling (I). On one side of the adapter ( T ), there is a screw thread on the inside giving  the option of fitting an adapter, with a sealing ring (not included in the delivery), onto it if necessary. Adapter sets can be obtained from your distributor (article number B290020).
4. Unscrew the screw ring ( N ) from the housing ( U ). Remove the UV-C lamp ( K ) from the supplied case (see packaging) and carefully slide the lamp into the quartz glass  ( M ). Carefully connect the white lamp holder ( L ) to the UV-C lamp ( K ) and then screw the screw ring ( N ) handtighten onto the housing ( U ).
5. Activate the pump and check the flow and any leakage of the system.
6. Put the plug of the UV-C device in a wall socket with a safety ground and fitted with a residual current circuit-breaker. Check whether the lamp is operating by looking through the transparent components of the unit. The unit is switched off by pulling the plug out of the socket.

Instructions for use of the digital time meter
As soon as the Blue Lagoon UV-C Timer is switched on, the program will carry out a self-test. The display will automatically show the following , one after the other: 8888  (display test) ; r and software version number ; 50H or 60H indication of the mains frequency Following this, the display will show the meter reading.
When the UVC lamp is switched on for the first time, or after the “reset” function has been used, the value ‘4500’ will appear on the display. A dot next to the digit on the far  right of the display will blink every second; this indicates that the counter is running.
The display is automatically set to the factory reading of 4,500 hours. The UV-C lamp operates at 100% radiation for up to 4,500 hours. After 4,500 hours, the radiation will weaken, and may become insufficient to obtain the desired results.
If the UV-C lamp had already been used previously, and is switched on again, the display will indicate the value it had at the time it was switched off earlier. If you had  increased or reduced the value of the time meter yourself, the display will indicate the latest counter reading it had before it was switched off.
The settings of the time meter can be modified if you wish. This is carried out as follows:
After holding down the switch (R) underneath the display for 5 seconds, the display will show “rest”, to indicate that the user menu has been selected. Once the switch ( R )  has been released, the meter indication and “rest” will blink alternately on the display. By briefly pressing the switch again, it is now possible to step through the menu options. There are 3 available setting options in the menu: “ rest” “UP” and “den”.
– “rest” means (reset): This option enables you to reset the meter indication to the factory setting of 4,500 hours.
This selection is confirmed if the meter indication and “rest” on the display blink alternately. If you hold down the switch (R) for 5 seconds, after which the meter indication  4500 will be displayed, and then release it, the time meter will start counting down from the 4,500 hour value. This selection is used if, for example, you have replaced the  lamp, or if you have modified the meter indication yourself and you want to return it to the factory settings.
– “UP ” means (up): This option enables you to increase the meter indication to the desired hour indication.
This selection is confirmed if the selected user setting ”UP” and the meter indication on the display blink alternately. Following this, press the switch ( R) down for 5 seconds.  After 5 seconds, the display will only indicate “UP”. You can then release the switch.
By briefly pressing the switch , the counter value can now be increased in steps of 500 hours from the value of 4500 up to a maximum value of 9999. The increased value and “UP” will blink alternately on the display.
After you have selected the desired hour indication, wait for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the selected hour indication will be displayed and the timer will start counting down.
If you make a mistake while increasing the meter indication, it is possible to reset the counter to 4500 by keeping the switch pressed down for 5 seconds. The counter value  will then be reset to 4500, and a new value can be set.
– “dn” means (down): This option enables you to decrease the meter indication to the desired hour indication.
This selection is confirmed if the selected user setting ”den” and the meter indication on the display blink alternately. Following this, press the switch ( R ) down for 5 seconds.  After 5 seconds, the display will only indicate “den”. You can then release the switch.
By briefly pressing the switch , the counter value can now be decreased in steps of 500 hours from the value of 4500 down to a minimum value of 0000. The decreased value and “den” will blink alternately on the display.
Once you have selected the desired hour indication, wait for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the selected hour indication will be displayed and the timer will start counting down.
If you make a mistake while decreasing the meter indication, it is possible to reset the counter to 4500 by keeping the switch pressed down for 5 seconds. The counter value will then be reset to 4500, and a new value can be set.

The time meter will indicate in the following manner that the lamp must be replaced:
– From hour position 0672; the display will blink every second. The lamp is to be replaced in 4 weeks’ time.
– From hour position 0336; the display will blink every half second; The lamp is to be replaced in 2 weeks’ time.
– From hour position 0168; the display will blink every ¼ second; The lamp is to be replaced in 1 week’s time.
– At an hour position of 0000; the digits will blink continuously, and the meter will not continue to count down. The lamp must be replaced.
