Operation & Installation
Safety Considerations
It is important that care is taken when operating and/or maintaining your system.
- Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical
- Energy given off by the UV LED is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV LED without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
- Do not look into the inlet or outlet openings while the system is plugged into electrical
- Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing
- Do not open or attempt to open the GLACIER UV LED system or power
- There are no user-replaceable components inside the GLACIER UV LED Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
- Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended Misuse of this system could potentially cause harm to the user or others. Use of this system does not guarantee any particular amount of reduction of microorganisms.
- Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking DO NOT plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.
- To avoid electric shock, ensure that the 12VDC power supply adaptor complies with local electrical safety The 12VDC power adaptor should be plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) type of electric AC outlet. Also ensure that the electric AC outlet complies with local electrical safety codes.
- We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician install the
Any attempt to open the GLACIER UV LED system will void the warranty.
Before You Begin
Tools & Materials:
- Screwdriver
- Drill
- Screws (x2)
- ⅜” Tube Fittings for Inlet and Outlet connections
- Mounting Hardware (if required for install)
Water Quality Parameters
UV disinfection is only effective if the UV light can pass through the water
it needs to treat. This means that the quality of your water is very important
in order to ensure complete disinfection. Treated water should be tested for
at 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):
UV Transmittance above 90%. Hardness: <1 gpm (17 mg/L)
Iron (Fe): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: <0.1 NTU
Tannins: <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
Location
For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before the faucet. The
unit must be installed vertically for correct operation. Ensure there’s enough
space to facilitate the plumbing fittings as well as any required pre-
treatment filters.
Water flow must flow from the bottom of the unit upward towards the faucet.
Make sure you have the required plumbing connections and parts before
installation as well as a secure location to firmly secure the unit.
[GUV-5S] A solenoid can be installed as well along with the solenoid
module ( MOD-SOL ) as an accessory module.
PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.
Installation
- Make sure the unit is secured firmly using two screws in Mounting Hardware may be needed depending on install
- Connect plumbing to the Bottom Inlet using a Push-to-Connect ⅜” Tube Fitting
- Connect plumbing to the Top Outlet using a Push-to-Connect ⅜” Tube Fitting
- Fill and pressurize the system to check for leaks in the If a leak is found, re-check your plumbing.
- Plug the 12VDC power adaptor into an appropriate AC electrical outlet. To prevent risk of shock, ensure that the AC outlet and power adaptor comply with local electrical safety
- Plug in the 12VDC Adaptor to the Bottom Power The system should power on.
DO NOT OPERATE PRODUCT WITHOUT CONNECTING TO COLD-WATER SUPPLY.
Operation
When initially powered on with no water flow, the unit will be in Standby Mode
with the UV LEDs turned off and awaiting flow to be activated. Once flow is
detected the UV LEDs are immediately activated to provide proper disinfection.
The unit will automatically log the cumulative amount of time that the UV LEDs
have been turned on, and track the amount of
operational life remaining. Once flow has stopped the unit will remain on for
5 seconds before shutting off the UV LEDs. When the maximum operational life
of the UV LED is reached, the unit will no longer provide proper disinfection
and has to be replaced. If at any point during operation the UV LEDs overheat
and exceed the Overtemperature Alarm Threshold, the system enters a cool down
period during which the UV LEDs are disabled until the temperature drops below
the Overtemperature Alarm Release Threshold. During the cool down period the
system no longer provides disinfection. Refer to Operation and Specifications
for details.
GLACIER GUV-4S Controller
Multi-State Status LED indicating power, flow, LED life and overtemp./fail alarms. Automatic detection of water flow provides on-demand disinfection, low energy use & prevents heat build-up.
Status LED | Description | Audible Alarm | OK? |
---|---|---|---|
Solid Green | Unit is in Standby Mode waiting for flow, UV LEDs are not | ||
active. | NO | YES | |
Flashing Green | System detects flow and has activated the UV LEDs | ||
for proper disinfection. | NO | YES | |
Solid Red | End of System life, replace unit. | YES | NO |
Flashing Red | UV LEDs have failed and no longer can provide | ||
disinfection. | YES | NO |
Flashing Red & Green
| UV LEDs are overheating; the system enters a cool down period and no longer provides disinfection until UV LED temperature drops below 55°C.|
YES
|
NO
GLACIER GUV-5S Controller
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.
Power-On Sequence
On Start-up, the system will run through a diagnostic check and initialize any optional module that may be attached to the system.
Optional Modules: Solenoid, WiFi, Remote Alarm, Sherpa
A final module screen is displayed showing which specific modules were initialized and then proceed to normal system operation. The total length of the start-up procedure is less than 30 seconds.

Expansion Modules
GLACIER GUV-5S [ONLY] systems incorporate an “Infinite Expandability
Port” (IEP) which allows for expansion to all accessory modules. Each module
comes with both a male and female connection. Connect any device to the system
and all subsequent devices are then connected into the female end of last
device added in a “daisy chain” configuration.
The following optional expansion modules are available for use on GLACIER GUV-
5S systems. 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 set of relay contacts. In normal operation the OK and
COM contacts will be connected, and in a fault condition (UV LED fail, LED
Life expired, etc.), the Fault and COM contacts will be connected. Maximum
Contact Rating is 1A-120V AC/DC (use 16-22 AWG).
Order PN MOD-RAM.
Solenoid connection module
Connects a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the controller. With a GUV-5S system, the solenoid will only close in event of: UV LED failure alarm, system life expired alarm, overtemperature alarm. The solenoid closes during an alarm that cause Unsafe Water Conditions. Also note that in cases where emergency use of untreated water is required, the controller can be placed into a manual override mode allowing for the flow of water in an alarm condition. Maximum Contact Rating is 240 VAC (50-60 Hz) /30VDC/2A. Order PN MOD-SOL.
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.
SHERPA
Allows you to monitor your UV LED system remotely, from anywhere in your home. Remote monitors for all major and minor alarms that take place on the UV LED system. Simply install the module and place the small and stylish display in a convenient location that works for you. Check your remote display for feedback on how your system is performing and if any action is required. Easy to use and requires no maintenance or ongoing costs.
