  • Page 12: Manual Wiper

    The simplest way to ensure that your quartz sleeves remain clean is to set your wiping cycle to wipe once a week. This method will normally work well on most applications. If your monitor continues to show a significant drop in UV output, or an increase in bacteria is shown in water tests, you can increase the wiping cycle to twice a week.
  • Page 13: Lamp Installation

    LAMP INSTALLATION Lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Exercise care when handling. Lamps must be installed for the unit to operate. They are shipped outside of the unit to ensure maximum protection to the lamps and quartz sleeves. While lamps can be installed from either end of the unit, the pin end of the lamp must be facing towards the enclosure end of the unit.
