UV Lamp Installation
Purpose
To instruct the operator how to properly install the UV lamp(s).
Frequency
Lamp installation in new unit or lamp replacement change-out (after every 12,000 hours of continual operation).
Parts and Required Equipment
• UV Lamp(s)
• Wire Cutters
• Adjustable Wrenches
• Cotton or Silicon Gloves
• Personal Safety Equipment
General risk due to electricity.
UV Lamps are fragile and potentially dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
Important: Before installing the UV Lamp(s) a MANDATORY WATER TEST must be performed. See Page 16.
Note: Use clean cotton or silicon gloves when handling the UV lamp(s). Skin oils absorb ultraviolet light and reduce
UV intensity. Skin oils may also lead to premature lamp failure.
1.
Remove the white Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) "wire keeping" rings from the UV lamp by
carefully cutting it off with wire cutters.
Note: Be careful not to cut the lamp wires!
2. Gently slide the UV Lamp into the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut leaving 6" of the UV lamp
exposed.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL LAMPS WITH AMALGAM SPOT IN DOWN POSITION!
Note: Lower wattage amalgam lamps contain a single mass of amalgam while higher wattage
amalgam lamps contain multiple masses of amalgam.
Note: When installing the lamp into the quartz sleeve position that is
monitored by the UV Intensity Sensor, it is important to make sure the lamp
wires that run the length of the lamp are not facing the sensor. See diagram, at
right for the proper lamp placement.
