INSTALLATION
3. Roll-up a few paper towels creating a
core approximately 3/4-inch diameter,
10-inches long then slide into the open
quartz sleeve module port. Insert
about 6-inches of the paper towel core
down into the quartz sleeve, as shown.
Hazardous
Risk of severe injury or major property
damage if tank explodes. Read the entire
procedure before starting system or
disassembling filter.
NOTE: Tightly close Drain Plug.
4. Open air relief plug located on top of vessel.
NOTE: Air trapped inside the filter greatly increases the explosion
hazard.
5. Start pump.
Air Relief
Drain Port
6. When a steady stream of water comes from air relief plug, close plug.
7. After thirty (30) minutes of recirculating water through the UV vessel,
remove the paper towels from the quartz sleeve module. Inspect
closely for moisture. If the paper towels are completely dry, the leak
test is successful.
8. If moisture is detected on the paper towel the quartz sleeve' s rubber
gasket has failed to achieve a seal and must be re-assembled;
repeat the leak test until a seal is achieved. See page 5 for assembly
instructions.
Electrical Connection
The BioShield UV system is intended to be permanently connected
to a Listed Pool Controller (i.e. IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Control
Systems) or a Listed Mechanical Timer Switch that provides a wiring
compartment for the connection of ancillary equipment.
Connect the UV System ballast to a UL Listed Pool Controller:
1. Route the UV power supply cable through the 1/2-inch trade size
conduit opening in the bottom of the control system enclosure.
2. Use the strain relief provided with the UV system to secure the power
supply cable to the control system enclosure.
3. Connect the power supply cable leads to the appropriate terminations
inside the control system.
NOTE: The cable leads are tinned, or provided with Listed Wiring
Connectors (i.e. spade or closed loop), to allow for quick connection to a
relay terminal, wiring bar or other conductor termination.
Connect the UV System ballast to a UL Listed Mechanical Timer
Switch:
The UV system must be wired to the load side of the listed timer switch.
This will ensure the UV system only operates when the pump is running.
Refer to the instructions and wiring diagram below to properly wire the
power supply to a listed timer switch.
1. Wire the power supply' s BLACK lead to the terminal marked "L1".
pressure.
2. Wire the power supply' s WHITE lead to the terminal marked "N"
(Neutral) in 120 VAC installations or to the terminal marked "L2" in 240
VAC installations.
3. Wire the GREEN lead to the terminal marked "GND" (Ground).
Connect the UV System ballast to the Flow Switch:
1. The UV lamp will not operate if there is a low flow condition.
2. Locate the cable with the black M12 female connector from the
ballast.
3. Connect ballast cable connector to flow switch connector, by lining
up the notch and twisting one of the connectors clockwise until snug
allowing the two connectors to meet.
Flow Switch Electrical
The BioShield UV system is intended to operate with an inline flow
switch. The items provided are (1) flow switch with a M12 connector on a
10 foot cable, (1) 2.5"x1" (SxT) Tee and (2) 2.5"x2" (SxS) Reducers.
Once the flow rate is achieved, the flow switch will
trigger connecting pins 1 and 2. The ballast will
initiate, after the 25 second delay has expired.
The flow switch can be checked by testing the
continuity between pins 1 and 2, see diagram to right.
UV Lamp Installation
Failure to disconnect the power from the UV System
and pump before servicing the unit or replacing the lamp could result
in personal injury or property damage. Confirm the lamp is completely
off, via the view port, before attempting lamp replacement.
UV lamps are manufactured with color coded ceramic bases. Red or
Blue-capped UV lamps signify a High-Output UV lamp.
Use only High-Output UV lamps with the BioShield® UV.
NOTE: Care should be taken when installing the UV lamp into the vessel' s
quartz sleeve. Vertical installations require extra attention to eliminate
the chance of the lamp dropping into the quartz sleeve and breaking.
Quartz Sleeve Module Assembly
1. Remove packaging from new UV lamp.
2. Slowly insert UV lamp into the middle of Clear Quartz Sleeve Module
(7) until the 4-pins are just above the Clear Quartz Sleeve Module (7).
3. Connect the white 4-pin connector (2) to the UV lamp (1) by using a
side to side motion until white 4-pin is touching the UV lamp base.
4. Hold onto the cable (3) and slowly lower the UV lamp with white 4-pin
connected into Clear Quartz Sleeve Module (7).
