10. Connect long end of rubber elbow adapter to UVC unit. Secure clamp by tightening it with screwdriver.

11. Attach another metal clamp onto rubber elbow adapter (approx. 0.25″ / 1 cm from end).

12. Attach rubber elbow adapter to filter output valve and secure clamp by tightening it with screwdriver.

13. Double check all metal clamps are positioned approx. 0.25″/ 1 cm from ends and are tightly secured with a screwdriver to ensure watertight seal.

14. OpenfilterINandOUTvalves   and wait 15 minutes to ensure    connections are watertight.

15. PluginFXfiltertoelectricaloutlet.   The electronic automatic priming  sequencewillbegin.

INSTION ON CABINET WALL WITH FLUVAL FX2/FX4/FX6 FILTER

IMPORTANT:

• This installation option requires one 1″ /25 mm FX hose for cabinet mount (sold separately – # A20233) or equivalent 1″ / 25 mm inner diameter vinyl hose (sold separately).
• Self-tapping screws supplied with UVC unit are suitable for wooden cabinet walls with a minimum thickness of 0.6″ / 15 mm. Installation is not recommended on moving elements (i.e. cabinet doors).
• UVC must be connected to filter output hosing only. Never install UVC to filter intake hosing.
• Ensure UVC and hosing are always positioned above FX filter cover.

1. To prepare FX filter for UVC installation, refer the Preparing Your Filter section (steps 1-7).
2. Select desired UVC location on cabinet wall.
3. Using a screwdriver, affix mounting bracket to cabinet wall using screw holes (A) for horizontal positioning, or holes (B) for vertical positioning. IMPORTANT: If installing horizontally, ensure mounting bracket is placed so that the screw holes appear below the Fluval logo.
4. Slide metal clamp over end of filter output hosing (approx. 0.25″ /1 cm from end) and attach to UVC connector (either side as the UVC worksin both directions).
5. Slide UVC unit into mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
6. Slide metal clamp over one end of 1″/25mm FX hose for cabinet mount (sold separately – # A20233) or equivalent 1″ /25 mm inner diameter vinyl hose (sold separately). Ensure clamp is positioned approx. 0.25″ /1 cm from end.
7. Slide metal clamp over other end of 1″ /25 mm connection hose (approx. 0.25″/1 cm from end) and attach to filter OUT valve. IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, ensure all hosing follows a straight path with no loops and very little slack.
8. Double check all metal clamps are positioned approx. 0.25″/ 1 cm from ends and are tightly secured with a screwdriver to ensure watertight seal.
9. Open filter IN and OUT valves and wait 15 minutes to ensure connections are watertight.
10. Plug in FXfilter into electrical outlet. The electronic automafic priming sequence will begin.
11. Ensure water is flowing out from filter. Once completed, connect power supply to UVC unit and pluginto electrical outlet. A light indicator (visible through the semi-transparent lamp cover) will show that the UVC unitis operating.

IMPORTANT:

• This installation option requires one 5/8″ / 16 mm inner diameter vinyl hose (sold separately).
• Self-tapping screws supplied with UVC unit are suitable for wooden cabinet walls with a minimum thickness of 0.6″ / 15 mm. Installation is not recommended on moving elements (i.e. cabinet doors).
• UVC must be connected to filter output hosing only. Never install UVC to filter intake hosing.
• Ensure UVC and hosing are always positioned above filter cover.

PREPARING YOUR FILTER

1. Iffilter is equipped with valves, ensure they are set to the closed position.
2. Unplug filter from electrical power supply.
3. Prior to UVC installation, refer to your filter manual for hose disassembly procedure. Qutput hose must be emptied of any water before starting the UVC connection process.
