Congratulations on purchasing this ultraviolet disinfection system. By purchasing an Atlas UV Disinfection system you are receiving not only a high quality product but also peace of mind. Installing a UV system gives you reassurance that the water in your home will have an extra level of protection.

Safety Considerations It is important that care is taken when operating and/or maintaining your system. 1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Energy given off by the UV lamp can be harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
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 20 microns prior to an Atlas UV disinfec- tion system. P a g e...
Assembly Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components: Atlas UV, “L” series (Standard output lamp systems) LAMP KEY GLAND NUT CONTROLLER 320006 LE SYSTEMS O-RING ACLE North American...

Atlas UV, “H” series (High output lamp systems) LAMP KEY GLAND NUT CONTROLLER 320006 HE SYSTEMS O-RING ACHE 310038 (fits all units) H SYSTEMS UV LAMP RL-H38 (fits H38 series) (fits all units) RL-H53 (fits H53 series) RL-H95 (fits H95 series)
System Sizing All Atlas UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality parameters 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.
UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2). The controller will require a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor. PLEASE NOTE: All Atlas UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.

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 procedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the wa- ter.

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.
Reinstall the filter cartridge into the sump and flush the chlorine solution by opening all faucets until chlorine can no longer be detected. Your home has now been disinfected and your Atlas UV system is ready to use. Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning.
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 cleaning on an annual basis.
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 Atlas UV lamp. Series Series...
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. L / H LE / HE At thirty days remaining, the LED or display screen will change to a yellow caution indicator.
System Service Suggested L / H 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. 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 Atlas UV system, the water must not be used for human consumption until the system is returned to a safe operational mode.
Temperature Management Devices Your Atlas UV 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. In extreme situations elevated water temperature or the fluctuation in temperature can lower the output of the UV lamp.

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%.
