Page 4: Safety Considerations
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.
Page 5: Water Quality Parameters
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.
Page 6: Assembly
Assembly Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components: RainHarvest Systems (Standard output lamp systems) LAMP KEY GLAND NUT CONTROLLER 320006 4.1 SYSTEMS O-RING 5.1/6.1 SYSTEMS 310038 RF56 UV LAMP RF-L210 “-02”...

Page 8: System Sizing
System Sizing All RainHarvest Systems UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality parameters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the microorganism inactivation.
Page 9: Installation
Installation Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or vertically using the clamps provided. Vertical installation is the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp connection at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the lines to be easily purged from the system.
Page 10 Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch the length with your hands. The use of cotton gloves is recommended for this pro- cedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water.
Page 11 Step 11: Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp from its packaging. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key from the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be careful to not touch the key’s exposed contacts.
Page 12: System Disinfection
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 1: Check for and remove any “dead ends”...
Page 13: Cleaning The Uv Sensor
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 UV sensor may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the UV sensor should be cleaning on an annual basis.
Page 14: Rf Controllers
RF4 Controllers Simplistic in operation, these systems feature a tri-colour LED that indicating system status and a 4-digit display to in- dicate 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.
Page 15: Rf5 Operational Screens
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.
Page 16: Lamp Countdown Sequence
audible chirp every audible chirp every constant audible cycles with red low 15 seconds 15 seconds alarm uv screen Lamp Countdown Sequence The system counts down the number of days until a lamp change is required. At thirty days remaining, the LED or display screen will change to a yellow caution indicator. At seven days remaining, the sytem will additionaly repeat an audible chirp.
Page 17: Lamp Replacement (Rf4 Systems)
Lamp Replacement (RF4 systems) After the lamp is expired, it must be replaced with the same part number as indicated by the label on the reactor. Begin replacing the lamp by unplugging the power for the controller, then refer to Installation, starting with step 11 (page 11) for instructions on installing the new lamp. To reset the timer in the controller, firmly hold down the button on the controller for 10 seconds.

Page 20: Temperature Management Devices
Temperature Management Devices Your UV system is designed to run continuously to ensure optimal disinfection. However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy from the disinfection process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise. In extreme situations elevated water temperature or the fluctuation in temperature can lower the output of the UV lamp.
Page 21 SOLENOID CONNECTION MODULE: Connects a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the system. On a non-monitored system, the solenoid will only close on a lamp failure error. On a monitored system, the solenoid is closed when the UV level drops below 50%. Also note that in cases where emergency use of untreated water is required, the controller can be placed into a manual override mode allowing for the flow of water in an...
