DESCRIPTION THE SCD-H SERIES The SCD-H Series is an advanced generation of ultraviolet equipment designed to provided enhanced effi ciency. The unit consists of an individual UV treatment chamber and an electrical control enclosure. The chamber contains single ended UV lamps, encased inside individual single ended quartz sleeves with reduced lamp disconnects.
The socket cover on either end G400 controller is shown below in a carbon steel cabinet, both of the chamber protect the lamp socket assemblies from the standard in the SCD-H series. environment. The Single-Ended (SE) assembly is depicted below.

INSTALLATION Isolation valves will allow safe maintenance of the equipment. After installation of quartz sleeves, always pressure test the system prior to installation of the UV lamps and applying electrical power. During pressure testing, DO NOT stand in direct line with quartz sleeves. Before start-up, flush the UV unit and discharge piping to rinse out debris left from installation.
INSTALLATION SE QUARTZ SLEEVE INSTALLATION The quartz sleeves designed for these Series are single-ended (SE), open on one end and closed on the other. The closed end of the quartz is inserted into the threaded nipple and then through the baffl e system in the chamber. Within the baffl e, Tefl on bushings provide additional support to the quartz sleeves.
INSTALLATION SE UV LAMP INSTALLATION The following procedures are for units manufactured with Single-ended (SE) lamp design. Once it has been verifi ed that there are no leaks in the system, the unit is ready for UV lamp installation. Remove all power to the UV unit. Depressurize the system.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES OWERING Prior to turning on the UV unit, the following must be verifi ed: Release the pressure in the UV treatment chamber before attempting to remove the protective covers The UV chamber should be fi lled with water. The fl ow and sealing items.
DESCRIPTION UV VISION-2000 SERIES The UV Vision-2000 Series system consists of two main components. The Controller and the Multiplexer Printed Circuit board (MUX). Both components are connected via a 6 conductor cable. The MUX board processes individual lamp operations into a digital signal. Each of the signals are then processed together into the Controller.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS CLEANING THE UNIT The following safety requirements are mandatory. Failure to Depending on the environment of the installation, clean carefully follow them can cause injury to the operator and the exterior surfaces of the UV treatment chamber, and damage to the UV unit.
MAINTENANCE INSPECTION FOR LEAKS CLEANING THE QUARTZ SLEEVES To ensure there are no leaks, a visual inspection of the treatment Visually inspect the quartz sleeve thirty days after use to see chamber should be made. The source of any leaking should be if any debris or fi...
MAINTENANCE • Replace O-ring and then reassemble all components LAMP SOCKET INSPECTION in reverse order. When replacing lamps, inspect the lamp socket contacts and related hardware. They should be inspected for corrosion of the metal contact, deterioration of the metal or burning. Be sure all power to the equipment is disconnected.
MAINTENANCE Isolate the old ballast from the rest of the system by Remove the lamps socket(s) from the faulty UV lamp disconnecting the ballast connector. base. Remove and discard the old or defective ballast. Use a voltmeter and set an operating range at >700 V AC.
MAINTENANCE MEASURING PERFORMANCE Every UV unit should be tested periodically to verify actual effi ciency. Regardless of the intended application or any optional equipment that may have been provided with the unit, the most accurate and dependable procedure is to conduct post-UV sample analysis in accordance with standard testing methods.
