    L. MAINTENANCE Any operation on the device must be carried out by qualified and skilled personal. The device must be disconnected from the electrical network before any intervention. Please cut off main power supply with breaker that protect your equipment. The handling of UV lamps and quartz sleeves must absolutely be done with protective gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints which could affect the quality of UV emissions and to protect the hands in the event of glass breakage.
  • Page 41 Make sure that the UV lamp is cooled enough before handle it. Remove the lamp (use the connector if necessary) and lay it on a clean and smooth surface. Carry out this operation carefully without touching the glass of the lamp with the hands Do not drop the lamp in the quartz sleeve as it could break and damage the quartz.
  • Page 42: Quartz Sleeve Dismounting

    L.2. Quartz sleeve dismounting Every year you must check that the quartz sleeve has not became opaque due to scale deposits. It should be completely transparent not to reduce the UV radiations. The sterilizer MUST be POWERED OFF, BY-PASSED and fully DRAINED.
  • Page 43 While remaining well aligned with the axis, introduce the quartz sleeve into the reactor to its guide at the bottom of the reactor. Wearing clean gloves, position the quartz to into the bottom of its holder by using your finger inside the sleeve. A flashlight can help you to see the holder through the quartz.
