  • 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 The 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.
  • Page 7: System Sizing

    System Sizing All UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality parameters 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 microor- ganism inactivation.
  • Page 8: Orientation

    PLEASE NOTE: All 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 interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor. Orientation This system has the ambidextrous capability of being able to have the main water inlet enter from either the left hand side or right hand side of the unit.
  • Page 9: Installation

    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 suit- able fasteners for the particular installation.
  • Page 10 Figure 5. Cartridge Removal Step 9: Install the UV sensor (systems with optional UV sensor). 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).
  • Page 11 Figure 8a. Standard Output UV Figure 8b. High Output UV Lamp Connection Lamp Connection Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (LTW-5 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.
  • 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 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth. 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: Ltw-4 Controllers

    LTW-4 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.
  • Page 15: Ltw-5 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.

LTW-5 LTW-4 At thirty days remaining, the LED or display screen will change to a yellow caution indicator. At seven days remaining, the system will additionally repeat an audible chirp.
  • Page 17: System Service Suggested

    System Service Suggested LTW-5 controllers will display the System Service Suggested Screen every 6 months to remind consumers to maintain both their UV and other prefiltration. This will serve as a prompt only and will not put the system into alarm. To clear this condition simply press the button located below the screen.

  • Page 20: Expansion Modules

    Expansion Modules LTW-5 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 subsequent devices are then connected into the female end of last device added in a “daisy chain”...
