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

HOW IT WORKS
Inside the reactor a UV-C lamp produces radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm. Radiation of this type kills bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi (e.g. Legionella and Cryptosporidium). The UV-C unit produces clean, fresh, clear water in an efficient, environmentally friendly way. The water is fed through the UV-C device by a pump. The UV-C radiation neutralizes bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms and prevents them from reproducing. Floating algae is also destroyed by this radiation, which greatly improves the clarity of the water. The UV-C unit is equipped with an electronic ballast. This ballast ensures optimum performance of the lamp.
Thanks to the UV-C unit, the water is disinfected efficiently and safely, providing you with excellent water quality. Overdosing with UV-C is not possible..

INSTALLATION OF EARTHING (DRAWING 1)

1. Place the eye (2) of the cable over the earthing bolt (1) attached to the housing.
2. Then insert a serrated washer (3).
3. Finally, place the nut (4) on the earthing bolt.
4. When the parts have been placed on the earthing bolt in the correct order, it can be tightened with a wrench number 8.

CAUTION:
Carefully read these instructions before installing this device.
Always make sure to have a correct grounding. When in doubt about the grounding of the electrotechnical installation in general, always consult a licensed electrotechnical mechanic. Faulty grounding can be dangerous, and/or lead to corrosion of stainless steel or aluminium reactors.
Radiation of this ultraviolet lamp is dangerous for eyes and skin.
The quartz glass and the UV-C lamp will stay warm for quite some time after the device has been switched off. It has a cooling time of at least 15 minutes.
It’s not permitted to flow a liquid through the reactor or to add additions to the water that has to be treated, which can have a negative effect on corrosion
or degradation on the used materials. This to avoid dangerous situations or damage to the reactor and surrounding installations and/or to the flora and fauna.
Always free the device of tension first during maintenance! Risk of an electric shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground- fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Do not use an extension cord.
Wear gloves to protect the quartz glass and UV-C lamp against fingerprints. Fingerprints can burn into the quartz glass and UV-C lamp while turned on, causing reduction of the disinfection.
The UV-C lamp should never be turned on when there’s no flow.
Wear safety glasses during maintenance and installation.

DEVICE INSTALLATION (FIGURE 2)

Decide where you want to mount the device. The best place to install the UV-C device is directly after the filter(s). See the schematic diagram in the operating instructions. Make sure there is always water flowing through the device when the lamp is on. Never install the device in direct sunlight.
Install the device in a dry, well-ventilated area. The device can be installed either horizontally or vertically, provided that the water flow is from bottom to top (see schematic diagram at the beginning of the instructions for use), with 30 cm of unobstructed space on the side opposite the lamp connection for future maintenance. At least one metre of unobstructed space must be left on the side with the lamp connection for convenient future replacement of the lamp (K) without having to disconnect the entire device.
CAUTION: All connections and couplings must be hand-tight. Do not tighten them with tools. Otherwise damage may occur.

1. Unscrew the nut (N) from the housing (U). Remove the UV-C lamp (K) from the supplied tube (see packaging) and carefully slide the lamp into the quartz sleeve (M). Place the lamp (K) with the contact pins in the lamp fitting (L) and then tighten the nut (N) on the housing (U).

2. Fit the supplied pipe clamps (O). Then insert the unit into the pipe clamps. Tighten the three-piece coupling (I) firmly, while ensuring the correct position of the sealing rings (P), both at the connections and the quartz sleeve (see figure 2).

3. Mount the unit in the circuit by means of the three-piece coupling (I) . The glue connections of the three-piece coupling are Ø63 mm or 2”. A hose tail adapter can
   also be used. ATTENTION: Allow the glued parts to evaporate for 8 hours.

4. Insert the plug of the UV-C device into an earthed wall socket that is protected by a residual current device.

5. Look through the transparent parts of the device to make sure the lamp is lit.

6. The device is shut off when power is disconnected from the device.

DISASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the power supply during maintenance/disassembly of the device.
The device must be cleaned at least twice a year. When there is a significant amount of algal growth and/or lime build-up in the unit the quartz sleeve (M) must be cleaned.
The special lamp must be replaced after the number of hours of operation has elapsed. The inside of the reactor can be cleaned with a soft brush.

1. Let the water flow out of the device.
2. Unscrew the nut (N) and remove the lamp (K) from the fitting (L). Remove the lamp from the quartz sleeve, and replace the special lamp (K) if necessary. Caution is advised as these are very delicate parts.
3. Carefully remove the quartz sleeve (M) (see figure 3). Never use force! CAUTION: Always wear protective gloves and glasses.
4. Clean the quartz sleeve with an appropriate cleanser. Always use a soft cloth to clean the sleeve and avoid scratches.
5. Carefully replace the quartz glass (M) (see drawings 3 and 4). Never force it! And carefully put the end of the quartz glass into the inlet (Q).
6. Carefully place the lamp back in the quartz sleeve, fit the O-ring (T) back onto the quartz sleeve and connect the lamp (K) to the fitting (L). Screw the nut (N) back onto the housing.

If the housing or the electrical section must be replaced, the earthing must first be disconnected from the housing. Please read the Installation and Disassembly section before installing a new housing or electrical section. Make sure you save the various separate parts for the earth connection. These are not supplied with a new housing or electrical section. If in doubt about the connection, consult a qualified installer.
For the safety instructions and terms of guarantee we would like to refer to the general UV-C manual.
