General direction for use

• Use only for filtration of water with pH from 6.5 to 9.5. In case of water with pH below or above the limits use only housings marked as pure polypropylene (PP).
• In case of filtration of drinking water, do not use with unsafe water or with water of unknown qualty without adequate disinfection before or after the filter.
• Keep protected from light, install under direct light only models with opaque bowl.
• Keep protected from back-fiows with a non-return valve.
• Keep protected from water hammer with an anti-water hammer device. In case of installation on systems powered by a pump and especially on those equipped with a pressure and fiow controller, an additional expansion vessel must be installed upstream the filter to protect it from eventual repeated pressure peaks (figure C).
• Do not install near to electric appliances.

WARNING: respect the working conditions, as shown in the sticker axed to the product.
If the sticker Is tampered, damaged, not legible or missing, applicable working conditons are: maximum operating pressure 8 bar (10 bar for filters with metal/brass head), maximum operating temperature 45°C (80* for lters marked HOT); minimum operating temperature 4 °C. If pressure exceeds the working conditions, protect the product with a pressure reducer.

Installation guidelines

• Install the products in sheltered rooms and protected from freeze and excessive heat.

• Before the installation, check if the hydraulic system has been set-up according to the rules-of-the art in force.
  Refer to figures:
  A Mounting bracket top and front view lay-out.
  B IN – OUT directions presentation in filter housings head caps.
  C Installation.
  D hardware parts list lay-out.

• For products with pressure gauges: apply sealing tape on threads of the pressure gauges and then screw them, do not overtighten, onto 1/8″ of the threaded connection at the top of the head; when the filter is set operational, if water is leaking, add sealing tape or screw tighter. For models with brass head, unscrew the caps at the top of the head and screw the pressure gauges according to the procedure indicated above.

• For products with plugs (screws) for pressure gauges: screw the plugs (provided with o-rings) on tightly.

• For products with drain kit: screw the plastic nipple with o-ring to the threaded connection for the drain at the bottom of the container, screw the ball valve onto the nipple, after having made sure there is a gasket, then screw the ball valve to the drain funnel or to the hose connector tube, after having made sure there is a gasket.

• For products with drain plug: screw the plug on tightly

Maintenance

• Periodically clean with cold water and a soft sponge. Replace the filter cup every 5 years at least.
• Before opening: turn-o water mains and release the pressure by un-screwing the vent-valve on housing head.Then screw and tighten the vent-valve.
• If not in use for a long time: remove the cartridge; when re-using apply a new cartridge.
• Check the housing tightening, if water leaks between sump and head lubricate the o-ring or change with a new one.

> t Remark: after the maintenance, let the water fiow for at least 5 minutes before the use.

Replacement of the cartridge

Assembly

Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components:

BLACKCOMB (Standard output lamp systems)

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.

Figure 2. Lamp Removal Spacing

Figure 3a. Fasten clamps to wall

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.

Figure 9a. Standard Output UV Lamp Connection

Figure 9b. High Output UV Lamp Connection

Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (BLACKCOMB51, BLACKCOMB¹ 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 align- ment (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.

Figure 10. Lamp Key Installation

Figure 11. LUMI-Loc™ Connector

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

Figure 12. Ground Screw Connection

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 Sizing
AlI 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.

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.

Figure 1. Recommended POE Installation Location

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: AlI LU MINOR 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.

circuit -unplug unit for 10 seconds. Replace the lamp with the part as indicated on the silver label on the reactor or on the Maintenance parts screen.
| Although the lamp ispowered and visiblyilluminated, due to thelamp’s age its UV outputis no longer sufficient forproper 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.| Replace component with proper model as indicated.
| A bad connection has been detected in the IEP port.| Ensure all modules are connected properly to the system and to each other.Modules can be tested indi- vidually 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.
| 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.

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-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.

The following optional expansion modules are available for use on BLACKCOMB 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.
