8.
Time Delay Mechanism*: Provides a 2-minute warm up period during which the ultraviolet lamp achieves its full germicidal
output before the water is allowed to flow through the water purifier. The time delay mechanism is used in conjunction with,
and is electrically connected to the Solenoid Valve.
9.
Wall Mount Kit: Model S2400C Stainless steel wall brackets provide quick and easy installation and professional finish.
Pre-drilled and ready to install. Optimizes free air circulation to cool ballast housing.
10. Quantum Thermal Optimizer: Thermal relief valve used to help regulate the water temperature inside the water purifier's
disinfection chamber. Since the relative ultraviolet output, of a germicidal lamp, is affected by temperature it is important to
keep the lamp's temperature within the peak output temperature range.
11. Safety Goggles: Safety eyewear should be used as general-purpose safety protection and for additional shielding from
Ultraviolet rays
12. Gloves: Gloves should be worn to offer hand protection from sharp threats like glass, wire, and metal.
* Use of this option is recommended by U.S. Public Health Service "Criteria for Acceptability of an Ultraviolet Disinfection
Unit." Originally issued April, 1966.
NOTE: The recommended options above are available from Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation or a distributor of Atlantic
Ultraviolet Corporation's products. For the other devices that may be required for your application, please contact your
local water treatment dealer, plumber or plumbing supplier.
MAINTENANCE
The water purifier is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance, providing the water quality does not exceed
maximum concentration levels, see "Water Quality" in the "Product Application" section. Ordinary maintenance consists of;
•
Lamp replacement is recommended every 10,000 hours of operation, approximately 12 months of continuous service.
•
Cleaning of the quartz sleeve, when conditions warrant. It is recommended that the inspection of quartz sleeve be performed
after one month of use. If quartz sleeve is found to be coated (not clear), then frequency of cleaning must be done more often.
Deposits or discoloration on the surface of quartz sleeve are caused by excessive levels of the subject contaminant within
the water that is in contact with the quartz sleeve. Most often false deposits on the quartz sleeve are caused by an excess of
calcium (hardness), iron or manganese. Table 1 on Page 4 lists the maximum recommended concentration of these minerals
in the water that passes through the ultraviolet purifier. If you encounter difficulty due to deposits on the quartz sleeve, your
dealer will be able to recommend suitable pretreatment to reduce or eliminate the offending contaminant. If quartz sleeve is
clean (clear) then frequency of cleaning may be extended. NOTE: SANITRON
with a manual wiping mechanism making the process of routine cleaning easier and therefore, recommended weekly
or at the very least monthly to insure your performance. NOTE: The use of optional Guardian™ Ultraviolet Monitor
will detect loss of transmission due to coating on the quartz sleeve.
•
Always disconnect the water supply and completely drain the water purifier if it will be subjected to temperatures below
freezing.
•
Contact factory with questions.

NSPECTION
1.
Regularly inspect the water purifier to ensure that the germicidal lamp is still in operation.
•
On purifiers not equipped with the Ultraviolet Monitor, lamp operation can be verified by a visible glow through
the translucent sight port. This provides an indication of lamp operation and does not indicate the level of ultraviolet
intensity or transmission through the water.
•
On purifiers so equipped, the Guardian™ Ultraviolet Monitor provides visual indication of the ultraviolet intensity
through the quartz sleeve and water in the purifier chamber.
2.
To ensure proper operation of the water purifier, regular biological testing should be performed on a schedule recommended
by local public health authorities, or at minimum; at installation, quarterly for the first year of service and annually, at lamp
replacement, for the life of the water purifier.
3.
Additional testing should be performed whenever modifications, change, or additions are made to plumbing system, pumps,
well source water etc. to ensure adequate disinfection under new condition.
4.
As with any water purifier installation, routine maintenance is necessary to ensure you equipment is operating correctly.
Regular inspection must also include confirmation that approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle is still
operational and that water purifier is plugged into this GFCI. Any components which are damaged or broken should be
replaced.
