Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
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 •...

3. Mount the system to the wall using the supplied clamps. Various connection methods can be used to connect the water source to the system, however union type connectors are recommended. The use of a flow restrictor device is strongly recommended when installing your system in order to maintain the manufacturers rated flow rate.
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 imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the water 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 (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.

retaining nut, slide the metal ring back in to lock the connector in place (Figure 2E). As this connector is keyed to the reactor chamber, make sure the notch on the connector (Figure 2D) is located over the ground lug located on the reactor chamber. Quartz Sleeve Replacement / Cleaning: 1.

UV Sensor Replacement / Cleaning (SSM/SSMV models only): The UV sensor is 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-S controller: 1. Lamp life remaining (days): The 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
“Plus” Systems incorporating BA-ICE-SM controller: 1. UV intensity (%): The Silver “Plus” series of products incorporate a UV sensor which detects the discrete 254 nm wavelength of the UV lamp. This information is relayed to the Silver “Plus” controller and is the default display shown in “% UV output”...

Possible causes for low UV alarm conditions: a) The UV lamp has perhaps reached a level whereby it can no longer adequately provide a sufficient level of disinfection due to age (> 9000 hours). The lamp should be replaced with a new lamp from the manufacturer of the same size and type. b) The quartz sleeve and/or the sensor window have become stained or dirty.

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.
