Potential Safety Measures Hazard UV Exposure Never illuminate UV Lamp outside of the UV Chamber. Never look directly at illuminated UV Lamp, even when using protective gear. Always use protective gear, including gloves and UV safety glasses. If accidental exposure occurs, immediately cool affected area and consult physician. Electrical Shock Disconnect power to system before performing any maintenance or repair.
Parts: Although your system was quality inspected at the factory, please review this document and en- sure the following parts accompany this system: Controller Connector Lamp refer to page 9 for complete model and part numbers Spring Retaining Nut O-Ring refer to page 9 for complete Quartz Sleeve model and part numbers...
Installation: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: WARNING - Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. WARNING - to guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. 2. DANGER – to avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical equipment.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: • The complete water system, including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be disinfected before start up by flushing with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any residual contamination. • The disinfection system should be connected to a ground fault interrupter. •...

4. Mount the Platinum ICE controller horizontally to the wall, near the reactor chamber. Ideally place the controller above the reactor and away from any water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a “sweating” system.
LAMP INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT: WARNING - Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. Lamp replacement is a quick and simple procedure requiring no additional or special tools. The UV lamp must be replaced after 9,000 hours of continuous operation (approximately one year) in order to ensure adequate disinfection.
DISINFECTION PROCEDURE: UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and adds nothing to the water. As there is no residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the water is free from any bacteriological contaminants.
Maintenance: QUARTZ SLEEVE REPLACEMENT/CLEANING: WARNING - Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the quartz sleeve decreasing the UV energy detected. Good maintenance of filtration equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If necessary, remove the quartz sleeve and clean with a commercially available scale remover (CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and a lint free cloth.
UV SENSOR REPLACEMENT/CLEANING: The UV sensor is an extremely sensitive and fragile instrument. Extreme care is required when handling and cleaning. The sensor window itself is constructed from quartz which is extremely fragile, be careful you do not chip or break this quartz window. Manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage due to neglect or misuse.
WARNING SYSTEMS: All Sterilight® Platinum™ UV disinfection systems incorporate the Platinum ICE™ controller and Flow Pace™ UV sensor. The coupling of these two components provides the most advanced UV monitoring/diagnostic/control device on the market. These two components provide the following controls: Start-up diagnostics Upon power-up, the Platinum Controller runs through a complete set of diagnostic tests and reports either a PASS or FAIL on the push-button display switch.

UV INTENSITY The Flow-Pace™ UV sensor detects the discrete 254nm wavelength of the UV lamp. This information is relayed to the Platinum ICE controller and is displayed in “% UV Output” . The intensity is displayed by pressing the push-button switch a single time.
