7 Starting up a VGE Pro UV system
Only by VGE International B.V. trained and authorized persons may commission a
UV system.
Danger of injury and damage to the UV unit!
The UV unit may only be switched on if the lamp is mounted, the bimetal switch is
mounted on the irradiation chamber, the irradiation chamber is grounded, the UV
irradiation chamber is correctly and professionally incorporated in a piping system,
the UV irradiation chamber is completely filled with water enough water flows
through the irradiation chamber. The control panel must also be connected to a
socket with grounding.
7.1 Mains voltage
The VGE Pro UV unit is designed to operate at a supply voltage of 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz.
Supply voltage limits:
- Minimum 180 Vac
- Maximum 264 Vac
Mains frequency:
- At least 47 Hz
- Maximum 63 Hz
Ensure that both the irradiation chamber and the control box are properly electrically
grounded before the UV unit is switched on.
Before switching on the UV unit, check whether the connected mains voltage meets
the above specifications, if the minimum limits are exceeded or the maximum limits
are exceeded, serious damage to the UV unit will occur.
The mains voltage must be connected directly to the main switch.
7.2 Water in the system
Before switching on the UV lamp, the irradiation chamber must be completely filled with water and
continuously flow through with sufficient capacity!
An irradiation chamber fully or partially filled with air can become very hot locally after the UV lamp has
been switched on, which can damage the UV installation and the environment of the UV installation. There
is also a risk of injury to operating personnel.
The water that flows through the UV system may have a temperature between +1 °C and +60 °C. A
bimetallic switch is mounted on the irradiation chamber as protection, which switches off the UV lamp(s) at
a maximum chamber temperature of approximately +60 °C.
