Centurion II UV Disinfection System Congratulations on purchasing this ultraviolet disinfection system. By purchasing a Microlene UV Disinfection system you are receiving not only a high quality product but also peace of mind. Protecting your water supply with a UV system gives you reassurance that your family will have access to safe drinking water throughout your entire home with no chance of microbiological contamination.
Safety Considerations Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must be followed when operating and/or maintaining your system. 1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
Water Quality Parameters UV disinfection is extremely effective against microorganisms but only if the UV light can pass through the water it needs to treat. This means that the quality of your water is very important in order to ensure complete disinfection. Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below.
Assembly The Microlene rack-mount UV system is designed as a do-it-yourself (DIY) system with a single inlet and outlet port. Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included in the box. Your system is shipped with the following components: 1 Controller MCS-CONT (fits all MCS series units) MCXS-CONT (fits all MCXS series units)
System Sizing All Microlene UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param-eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE increasing the flow above the system rating or disinfecting water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the microorganism inactivation. To determine the flow rate, follow these simple steps: 1. Be sure no water is being used in the home. 2.
PLEASE NOTE: All Microlene UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements. The controller will require a ground fault circuit inter-rupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor.
Installation Step 1: Once both the orientation and location have been selected, securely fasten the rack to a suitable back-ing. As the rack system is extremely heavy when filled with water, it is imperative that the rack be mounted with suitable fasteners for the particular installation. Mounting to a drywall backing is not suitable, unless the rack is fastened directly to the wall studs.

Figure 5. Cartridge Removal Step 9: Install the UV sensor (optional). Align the flat portion so it faces the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 6). Insert the sensor so it is fully seated and hand tighten the sensor nut.

Figure 8. High Output UV Lamp Connection Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (MCXS systems only). The key always comes packaged with the lamp and sits on the connector. With the key removed from the lamp, orient it so the label is upright and facing you. The key will plug into the lamp key port on the right side of the controller (Figure 9).
System Disinfection With a new installation, or any time the UV system is shut down for service, without power, or is inoperative for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be contaminated. Use the following steps to fully disinfect the lines throughout the entire home or facility.
Step 11: Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following steps 7 and 8 from the installation section of the manual. Cleaning the UV Sensor Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the quartz sleeve should be cleaned on an annual basis.
MCS Controllers Simplistic in operation, these systems feature a tri-colour LED that indicating system status and a 4-digit display to indicate lamp life remaining. Pressing the button will change the display to indicate total running time. When the UV lamp is on and within its operating age, the LED will be green.
4-20 mA Module Check Ethernet Module Check Remote Alarm Module Check A final module screen is displayed showing which specific modules were initialized. The controller then displays the lamp optimization screen for 60 seconds to allow the lamp to reach its optimum output. Finally, a final “start-up complete” screen is displayed. The system will now be ready to disinfect water flow. all detected modules lamp reaching max output successful start-up MCXS Operational Screens On systems without the UV monitor, the default screen shows the Microlene Home Screen.
On systems with the UV monitor, the system will display the same screens as on the Microlene5.1 except the UV Intensity replaces the home screen. The UV Intensity screen displays the level of UV light detected by the sensor. UV intensity can be affected by poor water quality, scaling on the quartz sleeve and/or sensor, lamp failure or lamp expiring.
MCS System At any point during this sequence, the audible chirp or alarm can be deferred for seven days by holding the controller button down for a period of five seconds. The number of deferrals used will be displayed as below. Once the deferral expires, the alarm will sound once again. The de-ferral can be repeated up to three times. PLEASE NOTE: At any point after lamp expiration, the water may be unsafe for consumption and should not be consumed without another form of disinfection.
System Troubleshooting Hard Alarms: The following give a constant audible alarm. If present, the solenoid valve is closed, and the 4-20, remote alarm and ethernet modules transmit the alarm. System Display Problem Resolution Reset lamp protection circuit – unplug unit for 10 seconds.
Soft Alarms: The following remaining errors give a 15 second audible chirp only. System Display Problem Resolution Ensure all modules are connected properly to the system and to each other. Modules can be tested indi- The module indicated is no vidually by plugging in one longer communicat-ing to at a time and cycling power...
Expansion Modules Microlene MCXS controllers incorporate an “Infinite Expandability Port” (IEP) which allows for expansion to the UV sensor and all other modules. Each module (including the sensor) comes with both a male and female connection. Connect any device to the controller and all subse-quent devices are then connected into the female end of last device added in a “daisy chain” configuration.
