gLUINg PIPINg TO THE UV UNIT
Two Inlet/Outlet unions are supplied. Your PVC supply piping should be
glued into the union tail pieces using an appropriate primer and ABS to
PVC cement. Inlet piping should be supported and should not rest solely
upon the unions, to avoid stressing or breaking the unions. If the ULTRA
UV unit is located with any portion of the unit below the surface of the
body of water, then a BYPASS VALVE IS MANDATORY (Fig 2). Allow
the glue to set following the glue manufacturers recommendations before
pressure testing. Maximum test pressure for the ULTRA UV is 35 psi. If
local codes require the pressure test to be higher than 35 psi, use the
bypass to allow the ULTRA UV to be only left at 35 psi.
PROVIDINg ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ULTRA UV UNIT
The electrical power rating for your ULTRA UV unit is shown on the
silver label located on the outside of the unit (Fig. 1). Check the label on
your ULTRA UV unit for its power requirement before proceeding and
make sure the supplied power meets the unit's electrical requirements.
Connection to any power source other than that listed on the rating label
will VOID your Limited Warranty.
If the electrical household power for your country is customarily 120V/50/60 Hz,
then your units electrical plate should indicate this voltage. At 120V, the power
draw is 2.6 Amps maximum for a 4 lamp system. This low power consumption
makes operating your ULTRA UV unit very economical. Your ULTRA UV
120V unit is supplied with a eight to ten foot long weatherproof power cord
terminating with a 3-prong grounded NEMA plug. A J box with a 6" lead wire is
provided for a 230V installation. It is recommended that a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the electrical outlet or in the breaker panel
serving the ULTRA UV unit (subject to your electrical codes). Note: Should the
electrical power cord of your ULTRA UV unit become frayed or damaged in the
future, unplug it from the power receptacle and replace it immediately. Note:
Some jurisdictions do not allow cord connection of these types of appliances.
Check your countries electrical code. If hard wiring is required, then this work is
best done by a licensed electrical service person.
If your country provides 230V/50/60Hz electrical household power, then your
units should indicate 230V/50/60Hz supply power on the electrical plate on the
front of the unit. In some instances, your unit will be supplied with the electrical
plug on the power cord that is common to your country. Use the plug supplied
where plug-in appliances are allowed. On a 230V use Seal Tight fittings with
a J Box. A 6" of lead wire will be included. Remember, you CANNOT operate
your ULTRA UV unit on any power supply other than that indicated on the unit's
electrical plate.
