SECTION 5: 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 14.
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. 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
NOTE: Each Lamp cable (1) is equipped with a Water
Tight Connector (2). This cable adapter is
made up of three components: Nut (3), Rubber
Gasket (4) and Male-Threaded Body (5).
