CAUTION!
Prior to energiz-
ing the ballasts and lamps,
ensure there is no water
leaking into the quartz
sleeves and compression nut
cavities by properly installing
these components. Even a small leak can
flood a quartz sleeve and compression nut
cavity.
During operation, high voltage is present
at the lamp pins and receptacles of the
lamp connectors. Prolonged flooding of a
quartz sleeve and compression nut cavity
can cause premature failure of the lamp
due to repeated arcing, overheating of
the lamp connector cable, and may result
in a meltdown of the cable insulation.
installing the UV lamps
Once is has been verified that there are no leaks in the
system, the UV lamps are ready for installation.
1. Remove all power to the UV unit.
2. Depressurize the system.
3. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of
the UV lamps.
4. Carefully remove the UV Lamp from the factory
packaging. Handle the lamp with care, as it is fragile.
5. Insert one UV lamp into each open quartz sleeve
and push it about 2”-3” (51-76mm) out beyond the
opposite compression nut, so as to be able to hold
the lamp with one hand.
6. Unscrew and pull back the retainer cap from the
rubber lamp socket.
7. Insert the lamp base into the rubber socket. Push
until you feel a firm “bottomed out” connection.
8. Carefully slide the rubber boot portion of the lamp
socket over the end of the lamp.
CAUTION: DO
NOT INSERT UV LAMPS WITH OPPOSING
RETAINER CAP IN PLACE.
Verify no portion
of the rubber boot has folded under during this
process.
9. Screw the slotted retainer cap clockwise onto
the compression nut, making sure the number
on the socket lead wire and the end plate
correspond.
10. Connect the right side rubber lamp sockets and
spring-loaded lamp socket retainer assemblies onto
each lamp. Pay special attention to match the
numbers on the retainer assemblies with the
numbers beside each steel nipple on the end plate.
11. Carefully pull out each rubber lamp socket from
each spring-loaded socket retainer assembly.
12. With one hand, push the rubber socket boot onto the
end of each ultraviolet lamp. When properly
attached, a slight “snap” can be felt, which indicates
a proper connection.
13. Carefully slide each lamp socket retainer assembly
up and over the rubber lamp socket boot, until the
retainer assembly reaches the male-threaded portion
of the compression nut.
14. Then, turn clockwise until the socket retainer cap
bottoms out against the compression nut. Avoid
overtightening.
Step 5: Insert lamp into quartz sleeve.
Step 13: Slide lamp socket retainer assembly over boot.
Step 8: Slide boot onto lamp socket assembly.
