  • Page 3: About The Upstream

    Crossfire Technology is virtually maintenance-free: Crossfire technology utilizes two lamps mounted in air, outside the quartz sleeve so maintaining an Upstream is as easy as changing a light bulb with no system draining required. The UV lamps require replacement after 12 months of operation and notification of lamp replacement is given via a warning one month in advance.
  • Page 4 UV intensity display. The Upstream can show remote status: Be alerted to any change in system status immediately in any room with the optional Remote Monitor. The monitor is a handheld wireless device can be placed in a convenient location to provide operational information about the Upstream.

     Product Specification Table. The Upstream units include a flow regulating device that will limit the flow rate. Warning: Removal of this device may allow the water flow to exceed the validated performance of the system which therefore may not provide the necessary UV dose to inactivate all pathogens.

    28.5 US GPM. The Upstream™ model NC 30 with 1 ½” manifolds achieves a dose of 40 mJ per cm a maximum unrestricted flow rate of 28.5 US GPM. There is no flow restrictor installed as standard on this model of Upstream, therefore, a flow rate below 28.5 GPM will result in a...

  • Page 9: Other Materials Needed

    Note: Teflon tape and thread sealant are not required to connect the Stainless flexible hoses to the Upstream or to the plumbing system – the FIP connectors mate with male NPT (National Pipe-Taper) fittings. The rubber washer in each end of the hose provides the seal.

  • Page 10: Time Required

    If the plumbing system has a grounding lug or strap, this should also be upstream from the unit, optional shutoff valve or filters. If grounding of the Upstream or plumbing system is in question, please consult your local electrical inspector.

  • Page 11: Assembling The Unit

    Check & tighten the fasteners securing the top and bottom stainless manifolds - see Figure 4B. Step 2: The Upstream has four keyhole slots for convenient mounting – all four should be used. The unit should be secured vertically to a solid wall large enough to cover the complete backside of the unit –...
  • Page 12 O FF Figure 1B Step 3: Connect the optional solenoid valve to the plumbing just upstream (before) the unit. Note the solenoid valve ensures that should the system fail, due to power loss, color in the water or low UV lamp output, the system will fail in safe mode and shut down the flow of water to your tap.

  • Page 14 Step 4: a) Connect the optional solenoid valve to the Stainless flexible hose attached to the bottom of the Upstream. Do not bend the hose excessively. Make sure the sealing washer is inside the end of the hose before making the connection.

  • Page 15: Parallel Installation

    Parallel Installation When more than one unit is installed in parallel (flow split between units), the units must be installed with manual shutoff valves both upstream and downstream of each unit. This allows one unit to be serviced without interrupting the flow to the other units.
  • Page 16 Important: after the unit has been operating for a few hours, unplug the unit and check all hose connections for leaks (the top hose in particular). Repeat this procedure periodically. Proceed to system operation for further instruction to ensure optimal performance. Released on 5/1/10 – R800001L Page 16 UV Pure Technologies Inc. © 2010...

    Remote monitor, install the 9v battery (included) in the remote monitor and place the monitor in a location of your choice. The remote will operate up to 164 feet (50m) from the Upstream system location, (Please note that masonry walls decrease the distance the remote can communicate with the Upstream system).

  • Page 18: External Alarm Contacts

    External Alarm Contacts The Upstream system provides an external “dry” contact for remote alarms or autodialers – the word “dry” indicates no voltage present at the contact. It can be wired normally open or normally closed.

    Green Light – situated at the bottom, an illuminated green light indicates the Upstream is treating normally. A flashing green light means the lamps are not yet at full power or the unit is in standby mode awaiting a remote start.

  • Page 22: Starting The Unit

    Do not try to open the front panel or ballast enclosure door when the unit is operating – Shutdown and unplug the unit first before trying to gain access. The Upstream contains a safety switch that will disable the lamp power supply (ballast) if the front panel is not completely closed.

  • Page 33: Draining The Unit

    “Unit Treating” will be displayed. Draining the Unit The Upstream does not normally require draining for routine operation or lamp replacement. Draining is necessary to disassemble the system, to protect against freezing, or to remove poor-quality water.

  • Page 34: Cleaning The Unit

    Step 7: Close any faucets that were previously opened. Cleaning the Unit The Upstream has automatic quartz cleaning and does not normally require disassembly and cleaning of the quartz - the quartz will remain clear and transparent as glass. If a component of the cleaning device fails, such as the wiper motor, or in extreme water cases the quartz may become fouled and require manual cleaning.

  • Page 35: In-Place Cleaning

    QUARTZ Figure 4A In-place cleaning Your Upstream is equipped with a self cleaning wiper that (in normal operating circumstances) maintains the quartz, and is engineered to ensure years of full disinfection. However, there are rare instances where water chemistry requires some manual quartz cleaning as well.
