If you are looking for UV water treatment for your home, REN WATER has the solution in the HO series of residential UV systems.
REN WATER-HO provides UV water treatment for your home with the inclusion of a true 254nm Teflon® based UV sensor that continuously monitors the performance of the UV system, displaying the output via a colour screen (optional on 5.1 systems). In addition to UV output, diagnostics, system status, warnings and QR codes can also be displayed. With the integral expandability port, the addition of a 4-20mA output or a solenoid valve is a simple plug-and-play option.

Assembly

Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components:
BLACKCOMSB (Standard output lamp systems)

Installation

Stepl: 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.
Step2: 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).
Step3 : 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).
Step4: 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.
Step5: Itis 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.

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.

Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (BLACKCOMBS, BLACKCOMBS 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 % turn to lock the connector to the gland nut as in Figure 11.

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 GFCl protected outlet.
Refer to the following section before any water is allowed to flow through the system.

System Sizing

All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting 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

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 the faucet. LUMINOR recommends that a 5 micron filter be installed before 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.

System Troubleshooting

Hard Alarms: The following give a constant audible alarm. If present, the solenoid valve is closed, and the 4-20, remote alarm and wifi modules transmit the alarm.

lamp with the part as indicated on the silver label on the reactor or on the Maintenance parts screen.
| Although the lamp is powered and visibly
illuminated, due to the lamp’s age its UV output
is no longer sufficient for proper disinfection**.| Replace the lamp with the part as indicated on the  silver label on the reactor or on the Maintenance parts screen.
| Low UV Intensity.| Remove and clean the quartz sleeve and sensor. Check water quality meets requirements on page 5 and add filtration as required. Replace lamp.
| Wrong lamp or sensor installed.| Replace component with proper model as indicated.
| The UV sensor is no longer communicating
with the system.| Ensure all modules are connected properly to the system and to each other.
Modules can be tested indi­vidually by plugging in one at a time and cycling power to the system.
Replace any module that is not detected when plugged directly into the controller.
| A bad connection has been detected in the IEP
port.
| Missing or incorrect lamp key.| Ensure the lamp key (packed with the lamp, on the connector) is installed. Unplug and reinstall the key. Ensure the key part number matches Lamp on Mainte­nance Parts screen.

Soft Alarms: The following remaining errors give a 15 second audible chirp only

|

The module indicated is no longer communicating to with the system.

| Ensure all modules are connected properly to the system and to each other.
Modules can be tested individually by plugging in one at a time and cycling power to the system.
Replace any module that is not detected when plugged directly into the controller.
| Refer to flow meter manual for detailed troubleshooting

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-ife 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
BLACKCOMBS and BLACKCOMBF 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.

The following optional expansion modules are available for use on BLACKCOMBS and BLACK-COMB® UV 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.
