3
safety requirements for
UV equipment
The following safety requirements
relate directly to operator safety. Please
review with all appropriate personnel to
ensure continuous compliance.
These safety requirements are
MANDATORY.
Failure to carefully follow these re-
quirements can cause injury to the
operator and damage the UV unit.
1. Release the pressure in the UV treatment chamber
before attempting to remove the protective covers
and sealing items.
2. Disconnect all power to the UV unit before
servicing. The unit operates on high voltage and
should only be serviced by qualified personnel.
3. Do not look at the lighted blue ultraviolet lamps.
Do not operate the ultraviolet lamps outside of the
UV treatment chamber. Exposure can severely
burn and damage eyes and skin.
4. Supply the unit with the correct voltage and
frequency as indicated on the nameplate decal,
ensuring the unit is wired in accordance with local
electrical codes.
5. Properly ground the unit. Failure to comply may
result in severe or fatal electrical shock.
6. Install the unit away from undue vibration that can
damage the electrical components and UV lamps.
7. Ensure all water connections (flanges and compres-
sion nuts) are tightly sealed before applying
pressure to the UV unit.
Do not stand in a direct
line with the end of the unit when inspecting for
water leaks; observe from the front or back.

.
Do not allow the unit to overheat by operating
without water flow. Normal operating temperature
for standard UV units is 35° to 100°F (2°- 38°C).
For high temperature units, normal operating
temperature is 35° to 150°F (2°- 66°C).
9. If the inlet water temperature exceeds 100°F (38°C),
contact the factory for assistance.
10. Do not allow the water temperature to drop below
35°F (2°C).
11. Do not allow the flow rate to exceed the maximum
rated capacity.
12. DO NOT ELECTRICALLY CYCLE THE UV
UNIT MORE THAN THREE (3) ON/OFF
CYCLES IN A 24-HOUR PERIOD.
13. Before start up, flush the UV unit and discharge
piping to rinse out any debris left from installation.
DO NOT LOOK
AT UV LIGHT
