screen by pressing LEFT arrow several times. Next press RIGHT arrow to
silence the audio alarm and review which alarm condition exists. The menu will
bring you to Alarms and Troubleshooting section for assistance with current
condition. The Message History can be reviewed to examine other recent events.
Note that the audible alarm can be silenced for 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 1 week or
permanently in the Service Section of the menu.
In addition to system alarms, there are system warnings. System warnings do not
close the optional solenoid valve. A warning allows the problem to be addressed
before the solenoid valve closes. If the warnings are left unattended, a system
fault may occur. For a warning, the audio alarm will sound once, the amber light
will illuminate, the remote will beep once, and a warning message is displayed on
the Upstream.
The disinfection of water will occur as long as the unit is properly maintained in
accordance with the instructions set out in this manual. Operating a
malfunctioning unit or defeating any system sensors may jeopardize the safety of
the water. If any system failure occurs and water enters the plumbing system
without being disinfected, if the optional shutoff valve has been placed into
manual mode, or if the optional bypass is used, any water used for drinking
should be boiled. Under these circumstances, the water supply should be
disinfected after returning the unit to normal operation.
If water should fall on the unit, unplug the unit and repair leak (or add pipe
insulation to prevent condensation runoff). Dry up all remaining water and inspect
lamps and reflectors for water spots and clean if necessary– see section on
Replacing and Cleaning UV Lamps. Inspect reflectors for water damage. The
reflectors are the shiny curved panels in front and behind the lamps. The
reflectors may be wiped with a clean soft cloth. If the panels do not come clean
or are damaged, they must be replaced.
In the event of an alarm, a physical inspection of the unit with the power off
should be done to try to identify a cause. A troubleshooting guide is provided with
each alarm or warning message and presented in the Menu Section of the
Instruction Manual.
Treatment Alarm
The Treatment Alarm occurs when there is insufficient dose to treat the
maximum flow rate designated by the unit. The Treatment Alarm could be a
result of low UV intensity or low UV Transmittance (UVT) or a combination of
both. Review both values in the Main Menu to determine which is causing the
alarm and take corrective action as noted in Troubleshooting section.
