UARTZ LEEVE NSTALLATION The quartz sleeves designed for this series are open on both ends. The following are the guidelines and procedure for quartz sleeve installation. 1. Turn off all power to the unit. 2. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of the quartz sleeves. 3.
(UV) L LTRAVIOLET NSTALLATION Once it has been verified that there are no leaks in the system, the unit is ready for UV lamp installation. 1. Remove all the power to the UV unit. 2. Depressurize the system. 3. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of the UV lamps. 4.
POWERING UP: Prior to turning on the UV unit, the following must be verified: 1. The UV chamber should be filled with water. The flow of water for the initial filling should not exceed 50 GPM. Failure to comply may result in quartz sleeves breakage.
& & PERATIONAL UIDELINES 1) Release the pressure in the UV treatment chamber before attempting to remove the protective covers and sealing items. 2) Disconnect all power to the UV unit before servicing. The unit operates on high voltage and should only be serviced by qualified personnel. 3) Do not allow the unit to overheat by operating without water flow.
INTEGRATED MONITORING SYSTEM for HX or HX-U series The Monitoring Station has the capability to display continuously the level of irradiance detected by the sensor in irradiance units (µW/cm ) or in percentage value (%). See Fig. A # 8. In addition, the Monitoring Station also reports the current temperature value of the water either in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Page 21
UV ALARM SET button Displays the user-set alarm level in % value under which the system will trigger the low level UV alarm protocol. The alarm level % is displayed only while this button is pressed. SET ALARM LEVEL potentiometer By turning this control, the user-set alarm level in % value under which the system will trigger the low level UV alarm protocol is modified.
UV PROCEDURE FOR SETTING THE MONITORING STATION Gradually start the normal flow rate. Bring the unit up to normal operating pressure and temperature. Turn on the UV lamps – wait a minimum of 15 minutes. First set the “SET 100% LEVEL”. See below for instructions.
AQUALOGIC 2000™ MONITORING SYSTEM The Aqualogic 2000™ has the capability to display continuously the level of irradiance detected by the sensor in irradiance units (µW/cm ) or in percentage value (%). Reading can be measured and displaced in either Absolute (0-5000µW/cm ) or Relative (0-100%) by the DIPswitch SW7-8.

preventing overheating conditions. When the water temperature drops below 100°F, the UV lamps will re-energize. A SPDT contact is available for customer interfacing during a High Temperature Condition. The contact will enable interfacing into a central monitoring system (PLC, DCS, etc). During the high temperature fault condition, the High Temperature LED will illuminate.
Setting the Aqualogic 2000™ Status Display Board: Adjust the dipswitches, per system requirements. 1) SW-5 Display Primary Time/Cycle There are two elapsed clock memories in the system. One is the elapsed time that can be reset with SW-2 and the total accumulated time. The SW-5 switch allows the user to display the total accumulated operational hours and cycles on the unit.

The following provides users of Aquafine UV treatment equipment with recommendations and procedures that will maximize the efficiency, consistency, reliability, and longevity of the equipment. Once the equipment is properly installed and fully operational, this will provide time-oriented guidelines for:...
CAUTION! The most important consideration for proper installation, operation and maintenance of any piece of equipment is operator safety. The following caution statements directly relate to operator safety. Please review with all applicable personnel to ensure continuous compliance. The following safety requirements are mandatory. Failure to carefully follow them can cause injury to the operator and damage to the UV unit.
If dirty, use the following procedures. Should this be insufficient, they should be replaced. To place an order, ® please contact your local Aquafine representative or call customer service. 1. Turn off the water to the unit. 2. Disconnect the electrical circuit.
Checking for Leaks: To ensure there are no leaks, a visual inspection of the treatment chamber should be made. The source of any leaking should be found and repaired. Follow the installation procedures of the quartz sleeves and UV lamps for replacing the O-ring. See pages 16 thru 17.
BURG-S “L” Type GOLD-L BURG-L COLORGUARD™ UV LAMP CERAMIC BASES ARE EXCLUSIVE TO AQUAFINE AND MAKE MIXING OF DIFFERENT LAMP TYPES VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE DURING LAMP CHANGE OUT. NOTE: The Lamp Out Alert alarm and function will not activate for the first 30 seconds of operation after the lamps have been turned “ON”.
Inspecting the Lamp Socket: When replacing lamps, inspect the lamp socket contacts and related hardware. They should be inspected for corrosion of the metal contact, deterioration of the material or burning. 1) Be sure all power to the equipment is disconnected. 2) Inspect the condition of the socket retainer caps.
Cleaning the Detector Window: 1) Shut off the flow and release the pressure. 2) Shut off all power to the UV unit. 3) Remove the cable by twisting the connector terminal counterclockwise. The connector will slide off. 4) Unscrew the Detector. 5) Use a lint-free cloth with alcohol and very carefully wipe the lens face on the front of the Detector.
