CONDITIONS FOR USE Your system will provide years of use provided the system is maintained on a regular basis as per the specifications outlined in the Owner’s Manual. For the system to perform as tested, the following water quality parameters must be met. PARAMETER LEVEL Hardness < 120 mg/L (7 gpg) Iron (Fe) < 0.3 mg/L (ppm) Manganese (Mn) < 0.05 mg/L (ppm) Tannins < 0.1 mg/L (ppm) Turbidity < 1 NTU Transmittance > 75% UVT For levels outside those specified in the table above, please contact the factory for further technical assistance.

Safety Considerations It is important that care is taken 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.
• The system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potential tripping hazards. •...

System Sizing All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param- eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the efficacy of the system.
Installation Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or vertically using the clamps provided. Vertical installation is the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp connection at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the lines to be easily purged from the system.

Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch the length with your hands. The use of cotton gloves is recommended for this pro- cedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water.
Page 15
Step 11: Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp from its packaging. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key from the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be careful to not touch the key’s exposed contacts.
System Preparation With a new installation, or any time the UV system is shut down for service, without power, or is inoperative for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be contaminated. Use the following steps to prepare the lines throughout the entire home or facility. Step 1: Check for and remove any “dead ends”...
Step 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth. Step 11: Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following steps 7 and 8 from the installation section of the manual. Cleaning the UV Sensor Depending on the water quality, the UV sensor may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the UV sensor should be cleaned on an annual basis.
BLACKCOMB Controllers Simplistic in operation, these systems feature a tri-colour LED that indicating system status and a 4-digit display to in- dicate lamp life remaining. Pressing the button will change the display to indicate total running time. When the UV lamp is on and within its operating age, the LED will be green.
A final module screen is displayed showing which specific modules were initialized. The controller then displays the lamp optimization screen for 60 seconds to allow the lamp to reach its optimum output. Finally, a final “start-up complete” screen is displayed. The system will now be ready to disinfect water flow.
audible chirp every audible chirp every constant audible cycles with red low 15 seconds 15 seconds alarm UV screen Lamp Countdown Sequence The system counts down the number of days until a lamp change is required. BLACKCOMB BLACKCOMB BLACKCOMB 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.
System Service Suggested BLACKCOMB 5.1 & 6.1 controllers will display the System Service Suggested Screen every 6 months to remind consumers to maintain both their UV and other prefiltration. This will serve as a prompt only and will not put the system into alarm.
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.

Temperature Management Devices Your LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system is designed to run continuously to ensure optimal disinfection . However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy from the disinfection process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise.
Page 25
SOLENOID CONNECTION MODULE: Connects a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the controller. Maximum contact rating is 240VAC (50-60Hz) / 30VDC / 2A. On a non-monitored sys- tem, the solenoid will only close on a lamp fail- ure error. On a monitored system, the solenoid is closed when the UV level drops below 50%.
