USING THIS PRODUCT
PERFORMANCE
CONSIDERATIONS
The performance of the UVD320E UV disinfection chamber has been
third party validated using accepted bioassay techniques. The
UVD320E is equipped with both visible and audio lamp failure alarms.
For your safety, it is necessary that you determine that the audio
alarm can be heard where you use the water treated by the unit. It is
possible to operate the unit with the lamp disconnected which will
allow you to validate the adequacy of the audio alarm function in your
installation. In order to optimize disinfection performance, you must
only use the unit with water that meets the minimum standard and
replace the UV lamp at recommended intervals. Failure to follow these
guidelines will result in reduced disinfection performance.
UV RADIATION HAZARD
NEVER OPERATE UV LAMP OUTSIDE OF THE UV
DISINFECTION CHAMBER – EXPOSURE TO UV LIGHT
CAN RESULT IN EXTREME BURNING OF SKIN AND EYES
Safety instructions – Please read
carefully
Danger: Do not plug the unit in if any of the external surfaces or
electrical parts is wet. Condensation on the disinfection chamber is
normal.
Danger: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken since water may be present near electrical equipment. Unless
referred to in these instructions, do not attempt repairs yourself.
Contact the manufacturer for service advice.
Danger: Do not operate this system if it has a damaged electrical cord
or plug, is malfunctioning, or has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
Caution: Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended
potable water application. The use of attachments not recommended,
approved or sold by the manufacturer/distributor may result in an
unsafe condition.
Caution: Before any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the unit.
Caution: Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from the unit
if freezing temperatures exist.
WATER QUALITY
Your UV disinfection system requires clean water for optimum
performance. You should only operate your unit if the source water
meets the following standards.
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Connect your UV unit to a grounded (3 pronged) receptacle (120V,
60HZ) (a GFI is highly recommended) and ensure that the lamp
connector ground wire is connected to the ground stud on the top of
the reactor vessel. Note: Power source for applications outside of
North America must match requirements of the unit (eg. 240V, 50Hz).
UV Dynamics disinfection devices are designed to be installed on
the cold water line only.
The unit must be installed vertically with the lamp connector
pointing upwards – the water source should only be connected to the
inlet port on the bottom of the unit. CAUTION: reversing the flow
direction by connecting the water source to the side mounted output
port could result in reduced disinfection performance and improper
operation of the flow regulator.
Install your UV Dynamics disinfection system indoors in a protected
area where the temperature does not fall below 4C. (40F) and the
humidity level is low (to prevent condensation on the chamber). This
unit functions ideally in a temperature range from 9C - 29C. (49 –
85F)
Use teflon tape on all pipe connections. DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER SEALANT.
If the installation location is subject to frequent power outages,
surges, brown out conditions or electrical storm activity, a surge
protection device should be installed on the AC supply to prevent
damage to the power source.
Do not connect UVDynamics disinfection systems directly to PEX
tubing or other plastic piping. Plastic material will suffer structural
degradation, and possible service failures, when subjected to long-
term UV light exposure. PEX tubing and plastic piping can be
connected directly to the inlet port if it is located on the bottom of
the chamber. All side ports will require the use of a metallic light dam
(16”/40cm section of metallic tubing, street elbow or stainless steel
flex connector suitably bent to prevent direct UV radiation)
