1. SAFETY WARNINGS
Switch off the unit 10 minutes before any work is to be carried out so that it can cool
down.
Switch off the unit if the water flow is stopped for a prolonged period of time
Warning: This device
has a UV-C transmitter
Never expose yourself to radiation from UV bulbs that are in use. Never stare at the
light source. This can cause severe injury or burns, or even loss of sight.
When the bulbs are in use, do not remove the bulbs from the reactor or remove the
protective covers.
Do not operate the UV-C emitter when it is removed from the unit.
Misuse of the unit or damage to the housing may result in leakage of hazardous UV-C
radiation. UV-C radiation, even in small doses, can be harmful to the eyes and skin.
RISK OF UV-C RADIATION
UV bulbs and quartz sleeves must only be handled with protective gloves to avoid leaving
any marks that could alter the quality of the UV emissions.
The reactor must be disconnected from the electrical grid for maintenance by a qualified
person.
In general, any work on the electrical parts must be carried out by a qualified person with
the appropriate authorisation.
Even when the unit is switched off, there is voltage in the electrical cabinet. Therefore,
make sure to cut off the general power supply located upstream from the electronics unit
before any intervention on the unit.
Do not operate the system if any of the cables in the electronics unit or the reactor are
damaged. In this case, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid any danger.
To avoid electrical short circuits, do not immerse electrical wires or the reactor in water
or any other liquid.
Do not take electrical measurements at the ballast output (risk of overvoltage)
Unplug the steriliser before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
Never remove the sealing washer from the quartz sleeve when the reactor is under load.
The quartz sleeve could be forcefully expelled from the reactor and injure you.
In case of leakage or micro-leakage, the reactor should be isolated and drained for quick
maintenance.
Do not use the UV reactor for any purpose other than that for which it was designed.
Equipment that is obviously damaged must not be operated.
When replacing the bulbs and/or cleaning the quartz sleeves annually, ensure that the
electrical part is in place and properly secured before switching on the steriliser. Ensure
that the nut, washer and O-ring seal are correctly positioned, otherwise the quartz sleeve
could be forcibly ejected from its receptacle and injure you.
