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. Please read the instructions • The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
80% for pre-treatment recommendations) You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is always recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a CULLIGAN UV disin- fection system.
Assembly The CULLIGAN 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.
System Sizing All CULLIGAN UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param- eters 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 efficacy of the system.
PLEASE NOTE: All UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet is required. 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.
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 suitable fasteners for the particular installation.

Step 9: Install the filter cartridges in their appropriate housings. Refer to the Rack-Mount UV System Specification chart. PLEASE NOTE: This chart indicates the correct cartridge position for the default “left-hand” orientation with the water inlet located on the left side of the rack sys- tem.

move the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon grease. Reinstall the o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the reactor and check again for leaks. To help vent the pressure from the system while the system is filling up with water, it is a good idea to twist open the pressure relief valve located on the top of the filter head.
Step 15: Tighten the captive ground screw to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper grounding. Step 16: Ensure all connections are sealed prior to pressurizing system, including factory connections. Step 17: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet.
Step 4: Remove the captive ground screw from the ground lug on the UV reactor. Step 5: Remove the lamp connector from the reactor (gland nut) by pushing the connec- tor in and turning it ¼ turn counter-clockwise. Disconnect the lamp connector from the lamp. CAUTION: the lamp may be hot! Step 6: Being careful to touch only the ceramic ends, remove the lamp out of the reactor.
Sediment Cartridge For most installations, the filters included with your Culligan UV Rack system are designed to be changed in conjunction with the UV lamp. In some applications, for example with high sediment or iron content, the filters may need to be changed more frequently based on pressure drop. Fil- tration cartridges become loaded (plugged over time and it is this loading that leads to a drop in water pressure.
Step 2: Open the drain valve and vent(s) to drain the water from the system. Step 3: Open the filter by unscrewing the sump from the head using the supplied wrench. Step 4: Remove the cartridge, being careful not to lose the spring. Step 5: Clean the cartridge under a jet of cold water and use a soft brush to remove impurities.
When the UV lamp is not on or the lamp life has expired, the LED will be illuminated red and an audible buzzer will be sounding. To remedy this condition, the UV lamp must be replaced with a new genuine CULLIGAN UV lamp. RCHO-CE RC-CE1...
On systems without the UV monitor, the default screen shows the CULLIGAN Home Screen. At any point during operation the user is able to scroll through the CULLIGAN Home Screen, Lamp life remaining, QR Code, Contact Info and Maintenance Parts screens by pressing the button located on the front of the controller.

RC-C1 RC-CE1 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.
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a matrix barcode first designed for the automotive industry. CULLIGAN uses the QR code to store a link to a specific page on our website. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code and over a wireless network connect to a CULLIGAN web page in the phone’s browser.
System Troubleshooting Hard Alarms: The following give a constant audible alarm. If present, the solenoid valve is closed, and the 4-20, remote alarm and Wifi modules transmit the alarm. System Display Problem Resolution Reset lamp protection circuit -unplug unit for 10 seconds. The system has detected Replace the lamp with the a problem with the...
Warning: After any hard alarm, the home or facility should be disinfected. Follow the steps un- der the “System Disinfection” heading. Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a CULLIGAN UV system, the water must not be used for human consumption until the system is returned to a safe operational mode.
Expansion Modules RC-C1 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”...
