Symbols: Protective Caution Ground Electrical Fragile Warning WEEE (waste electrical or Eye Protection electronic equipment)* * This symbol indicates that you should not discard wasted electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) in the trash. For proper disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste center.
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. GROUNDING This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

9. Do not use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer / distributor may cause an unsafe condition. 10. Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
Water Chemistry: Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are recommended for installation: • Iron: < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L) • Hardness*: < 7 gpg (120 mg/L) • Turbidity: < 1 NTU •...

1. Figure 1 shows the installation of a typical disinfection system and the related components that may be used for the installation. The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “off-line” maintenance. If this is the case, it must be noted that the system will require supplementary disinfection of the distribution system if any water is used during this by-pass condition.

3. Mount the system using the chamber mounting legs. Flange type connecting unions must be used to connect the water source. The symmetric design of the chamber allows the water connections to the inlet and outlet ports to be interchangeable. 4.
Disinfection Procedure: UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV does not provide a disinfection residual, it is strongly recommended that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the pipework is free from any bacteriological contaminants.
OPERATION • Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system. • Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. • Replace the UV lamp annually to ensure maximum disinfection. •...

is fully seated onto the UV lamp (Figure 2D). 4. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the connector up to the retaining nut. Once the connector is located fully against the retaining nut, slide the metal ring back in to lock the connector in place (Figure 2E).

UV Sensor Replacement / Cleaning (SHFM models only): The UV sensor is a very delicate 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.
Operation: Basic Systems incorporating BA-ICE-HF controller: 1. Lamp life remaining (days): Each controller tracks the number of days of operation of the lamp and the controller. The default screen will display the total lamp life remaining (in days). The controller will count down the number of days remaining until the lamp requires changing (365 days to 1 day).
Page 17
Monitored Systems incorporating BA-ICE-M-HF controller: 1. UV intensity (%): The Hi-Flo Monitored series of products incorporate a UV sensor which detects the discrete 254 nm wavelength of the UV lamps. This information is relayed to the top Hi-Flo Monitored controller and is the default display shown in “% UV output” . The system will display the UV output between 50 to 99 percent.

Possible causes for low UV alarm conditions: a) The UV lamps have perhaps reached a level whereby they can no longer adequately provide a sufficient level of disinfection due to age (> 9000 hours). The lamps should be replaced with new lamps from the manufacturer of the same size and type.

6. 4-20mA output (optional): For those looking for the capability to transmit the UV intensity data to a remote location via a 4-20 mA signal, an optional“Y”cable is available from your dealer (Figure 5A). Please order PN 260134. This“Y”cable comes with 20 meters (65‘) of cable for the 4-20 mA signal. To install, first remove the existing sensor cable from the HF Enclosure (Figure 5B) and affix the new “Y”...
