Safety Instructions: WARNING - to guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. 2. CAUTION - Always disconnect power before servicing. 3. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical equipment.
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 •...

1. The above picture shows the installation of a typical disinfection system and the related components that may be used for the installation. The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “off-line” maintenance. If this is the case, it must be noted that the system will require supplementary disinfection of the distribution system if any water OPTIONAL 4-20MA “Y”...

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 • A lways disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system. • R egularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. • R eplace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection. • A lways drain the reactor chamber when closing a seasonal home or leaving the unit in an area subject to freezing temperatures. Operating & Maintenance Instructions: Caution: prior to performing any work on the disinfection system, always disconnect the power supply first.

over the 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.

UV Sensor Replacement / Cleaning (SM 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 15
“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.
Troubleshooting: TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptom Possible Causes Solutions • replace filter cartridge with appropriate 5 Sediment pre-filter micron cartridge clogged Note: check source water supply as Pressure Drop fluctuations may occur in source pressure • flow regulator will result in pressure drop Flow regulator when approaching full flow • clean sleeve with scale cleaner and eliminate Quartz sleeve is stained source of staining problem (ie.
