Safety Consideration:
Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, extreme care must be followed
when operating and/or maintaining your system.
1. Whenever you are servicing this equipment, always disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. As the energy given off by the UV lamp can be harmful to your eyes and skin, NEVER look directly at an
illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure
to the UV light.
3. To ensure the system provides adequate disinfection, ALWAYS replace any component (lamp and sleeve)
with a genuine manufacturer’s replacement part.
4. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so. Contact the
manufacturer for service instructions if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this system could
potentially cause harm to the user.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT plug the unit in
if the system or any of the components are wet.
9. The disinfection system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the use
of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a minimum of 16 gauge wire and
care should be taken to avoid potential tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician perform the installation
Before You Begin:
Before you begin, you’ll need the following:
Tools
• Pipe cutter, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your existing plumbing (e.g. if you have
PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, flux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for tightening fittings)
Other Materials
• Inlet/outlet connections
• Teflon™ tape
Water Quality Parameters:
UV disinfection is extremely effective against microorganisms but only if the UV light can pass through the water it
needs to treat. This means that the quality of your water is very important in order to ensure complete
disinfection.
It is imperative that you have your water tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water exceeds
the listed parameters LUMINOR strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment equipment be installed
(pretreatment will depend on parameters being treated):
4 | P a g e
Page 5
Hardness: <7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the quartz
sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure efficient UV
penetration; if above the water must be softened
Iron (Fe): <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: < 1 NTU
Tannins (organics): <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmittance): >85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is less than 80% for
pre-treatment recommendations)
You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is always
recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV disinfection system.
Assembly:
Step 1: Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped
with the following components:
5 | P a g e
Page 6
System Sizing:
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate under specific water quality parameters. The equipment
has been designed to ensure that the appropriate dose will be delivered provided all parameters are followed.
PLEASE NOTE that the flow rate for each system can be higher or lower than what the system is rated for however
this will change the dose level that the system will deliver. A lower flow is not a concern as the dose will increase
however a higher flow rate will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the microorganism inactivation.
It is important to know the maximum flow rate that your water system delivers. If you do not have this
information you can simply fill a 1 gallon bucket with water and time how long it takes to fill up. This will be the
maximum flow rate for the home. Choose a BLACKCOMB system that is suitable.
PLEASE NOTE: It is always better to oversize your system then to undersize. For example, if your pump delivers 8
gpm it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10 gpm systems. There will come a time where your
home is using water at the pump’s maximum capacity.
Location:
Step 1: Find a suitable location to mount the UV
reactor and the accompanying controller. In
choosing your location ensure the controller is
located within 5 feet of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) and that there is easy access
to the main cold water line prior to any branch
lines and before the hot water heater. If you
have any other water treatment equipment,
such as a softener or water filter, ensure that
the UV is the last piece of treatment equipment.
PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV disinfection
systems are intended for indoor use only as they
should not be exposed to the elements.
Step 2: Your system includes mounting
hardware for both the UV reactor and the
controller. If the supplied fasteners are not
compatible with the structure in which you are
mounting the device, please ensure you use the
correct fasteners.
Step 3: To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there
is enough space at the lamp connector end to
safely remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve
(a space equal to the length of the unit will
suffice) (see Figure 1.).
Figure 1. Lamp Removal Spacing
6 | P a g e
Page 7
Installation:
Step 1: The UV disinfection system should always be the last piece of treatment before the water branches off to
the hot and cold water lines if the intent is for Point of Entry (POE) (see figure 2). If the intent for the UV system is
for Point of Use (POU) the system should be the final step before the faucet.
Step 2: LUMINOR strongly recommends that a 5 micron filter be installed before the UV system for a final polishing
step before the water is disinfected.
Step 3: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or vertically using the clamps provided, however vertical
installation is the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp connection at the top) as it allows any air
that may be in the lines to be easily purged from the system.
Figure 2. Recommended POE Installation
Step 4: If you do not know the flow rate of the water supply in your home it is recommended that you use a flow
restrictor so that the rated flow of your particular LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system is not exceeded and the UV dose
is not compromised. The flow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port of the reactor.
Step 5: It is strongly recommended to have a licensed plumber connect the UV reactor to the water supply and
may be a requirement depending on where you are located. If you are attempting this yourself, ensure you have
all the necessary tools and fittings to accomplish this task.
Step 6: Although there are many methods of installation, this manual will provide a recommended procedure using
copper plumbing and standard soldering methods. LUMINOR recommends the use of unions, a by-pass assembly
and shut-off valves as this will allow you to isolate and remove the UV reactor if necessary (this method is a
7 | P a g e
Page 8
recommended method only however it allows for the maximum convenience but it requires extra components and
more time for installation. Please refer to Figure 3 for the recommended installation.
Figure 3. Recommended Installation
Step 7: Before you cut into the cold water line, measure and cut all piping as per the recommended layout. Once
all the components are ready, start by installing the female adapters onto the ports of the reactor. To ensure a
proper seal, the use of Teflon™ tape is recommended on all threaded connections.
Step 8: Next solder all the assembly together, including ball valves and unions and finally connected the by-pass
assembly to the cold water feed line (water in and water out).
Step 9: You can now gently remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being VERY careful not to touch the length
with your hands. The use of cotton gloves (not included) is recommended for this procedure as oils from our hands
can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water. In the
package, you will find a lubricated o-ring. Place the o-ring over the open-end of the sleeve as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Quartz Sleeve Installation
Step 10: Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until you can feel it hit the opposite end of the reactor. Slightly
push the sleeve in to feel it lock into the spring inside the reactor. Ensure that the o-ring is butted up against the
reactor. Assemble the provided gland nut onto the threaded end of the reactor and tighten. The gland nut has a
positive stop to avoid over-tightening, hand tighten ONLY. Install the provided stainless steel compression spring
inside the quartz sleeve. This spring simply sits in the bottom of the quartz sleeve and works with the lamp and
8 | P a g e
Page 9
LUMI-Loc™ connector to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the
quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 11: (Applies only if you have a UV sensor…BLACKCOMB
6.0
) The UV sensor for the system is packaged in a
separate plastic bag. Carefully remove the sensor from its packaging and insert the sensor into the UV sensor port
(remove the protective cap on the UV reactor first). The sensor can only go in one way. Ensure that the flat portion
of the UV sensor matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (flat portion should face the lamp
connection end) (see Figure 5.). Ensure that the sensor is fully seated in the sensor port and then tighten (turning
clockwise) the sensor nut. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT over tighten the nut as this could damage the Teflon sensor
body. Plug the male connector into the IEP port located on the right side of the controller, Figure 6, (make sure the
controller is not plugged in as the sensor MUST be attached before power is applied to the controller.)
Figure 5. UV Sensor Installation Figure 6. IEP Connection
Step 12: The reactor is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been completed you should
check for any possible leaks. Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are
functioning properly and that the water is flowing through the reactor. The most common leak is from the o-ring
not making a proper seal on the reactor. If this is the case turn the water off, drain the reactor, remove the o-ring,
dry it and reapply silicon grease. Replace o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the reactor and check
again for leaks.
Step 13: The controller can now be mounted on the wall. The controller should always be above or beside the
reactor to ensure that no moisture can deposit on any of the connections (see Figure 2.). Always mount the
controller vertically. For safety purposes the controller should be connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) (also known as a ground fault interrupter (GFI)).
Step 14: You can now remove the UV lamp from its packaging being careful not to touch the lamp quartz with your
hands. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended to avoid deposited oils on the lamp glass. Always hold the
lamp by the ceramic ends. With the lamp outside of the reactor, affix the UV lamp to the lamp connector as shown
in Figure 7.
Figure 7. UV Lamp Connection
9 | P a g e
Page 10
Step 15: Carefully insert the UV lamp into the reactor sliding it inside the quartz sleeve located inside the reactor
(do not drop the lamp into the reactor). Affix the LUMI-Loc™ connector into the gland nut by inserting the
connector into the nut and turning the connector approximately ¼ turn to lock the connector to the gland nut.
Figure 8. LUMI-Loc™ Connector
Step 16: Affix the captive ground screw to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper grounding continuity.
Figure 9. Ground Screw Connection
Step 17: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet. Plug the unit in and
refer to the “System Disinfection” section before any water is allowed to flow through the system.
System Disinfection:
Now that the system is installed you will need to disinfect the lines throughout the entire home or facility. To
accomplish this, please follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Before performing this task, check to make sure that there are no “dead ends” in the lines throughout the
home as these can harbor bacteria. Also ensure that the UV system is powered-up and ready for operation before
you start this disinfection process.
10 | P a g e
Page 11
Step 2: Remove the cartridge from the filter sump and fill with 1-2 cups of household bleach (most household
bleaches are 5.25% chlorine). Replace filter sump and slowly turn on the water supply.
Step 3: Go to each location in the home or facility (including outdoor taps) and run some water until chlorine can
be detected (by smell). Ensure all faucets, dishwasher, shower heads, washing machine, toilets, showers,
refrigerators, etc. are all checked. Once the chlorine is detected at each location close all faucets and let the
chlorine sit in the lines for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Step 4: After 30 minutes, reinstall the filter cartridge into the filter sump and then flush the chlorine solution by
opening all faucets and let them run until chlorine can no longer be detected (by smell). Your home has now been
completely disinfected with your LUMINOR BLACKCOMB UV system ready to inactivate any microorganisms that
enter the home.
PLEASE NOTE: This procedure must be performed following any time the UV is shut down for service, without
power, or is inoperative for some reason in order to avoid possible contamination of the water lines.
Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve:
Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the quartz sleeve
should be cleaned on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic cleaning procedure.
Step 1: If the system has an inlet shut-off valve, shut this valve off to prevent water flow through the system. If
there is no inlet shut-off valve, turn off main water inlet valve (and turn of water pump if you have one).
Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and close the outlet shut-off valve if the
installation incudes one (if there is no outlet shut-off valve, be prepared for water leakage from the system as the
head pressure in the system will cause water to flow back through the outlet plumbing and through the reactor).
Step 4: Remove the captive ground screw from the ground lug on the UV reactor.
Step 5: Remove the lamp connector from the reactor (gland nut) by pushing the LUMI-loc connector in and
turning it ¼ turn counter-clockwise (gently pull on the lamp cable to ensure the connector is seated properly).
Step 6: Pull lamp out of reactor still attached to connector.
Step 7: Remove the gland nut from the reactor exposing the end of the quartz sleeve.
Step 8: Carefully pull the quartz sleeve out of the reactor and remove the o-ring
Step 9: Using a soft, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using CLR® or LIME-A-WAY® (or other
commercial scale cleaner) to remove any scaling or iron deposits that may be on the outside of the quartz sleeve.
Be careful not to get any moisture or liquids on the inside of the sleeve.
Step 10: Wipe the sleeve with separate dry cloth.
11 | P a g e
Page 12
Step 11: Once the sleeve is cleaned replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following the
steps outlined on page 8 of the manual.
Cleaning the UV Sensor:
Depending on the water quality, the UV sensor may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the UV sensor should
be cleaning on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic cleaning procedure.
Step 1: If the system has an inlet shut-off valve, shut this valve off to prevent water flow through the system. If
there is no inlet shut-off valve, turn off main water inlet valve (and turn of water pump if you have one).
Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and close the outlet shut-off valve if the
installation incudes one (if there is no outlet shut-off valve, be prepared for water leakage from the system as the
head pressure in the system will cause water to flow back through the outlet plumbing and through the reactor).
Step 4: Place something under the reactor to catch any water that may come out of the reactor during the
removal of the UV sensor.
Step 5: Unscrew (counterclockwise) sensor nut from the reactor and pull the sensor slowly out of the sensor port.
Step 6: Holding the sensor in your hand wipe the flat portion (sensor face) of the sensor with isopropyl alcohol
using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7: Replace sensor as per instructions on pages 8-9 of the manual
Operation:
The LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system comes with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driver
(ballast) and control features in one water-tight case. Two controllers are available for the BLACKCOMB systems
(depending on your model). CAUTION: Prior to performing any maintenance on your UV system, you must always
disconnect the power.
BLACKCOMB

CONTROLLER
This controller features a power factor corrected, constant current lamp
driver with a universal power input. Simplistic in operation, this system
features two LED’s that show lamp status. When the UV lamp is on, the
green LED will be illuminated. When the UV lamp is not on, the red LED
will be illuminated and an audible buzzer will be sounding. To remedy
this condition, the UV lamp must be replaced with a new UV lamp.
Please Note: While the red LED is illuminated and the buzzer is sounding
the water from the system should NOT be consumed. If any water does
pass through the system during this period, please follow the
12 | P a g e
Page 13
disinfection procedure as outlined in this manual before the water is
consumed. It should also be noted that even though this system has a
visual and audible warning built into the controller, the green LED does
not necessarily indicate that the water coming from this system is in fact
potable (safe to drink). This system does not measure the level of
disinfection; it simply measures the “on-off” status of the lamp. Please
have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular
basis.

Once the controller has finished checking for the installation of all available modules a single screen is displayed
showing which specific modules are installed and activated on this particular system. Please Note: If the
corresponding module icon is not displayed on this screen, then that module is not installed on this system. If you
believe this module is installed correctly, recheck the applicable connections to ensure a solid connection point
and then restart the controller. The controller then continues to optimize the lamp efficiency by waiting 60
seconds to allow the lamp to reach its optimum output. Finally, a final “start-up complete” screen is displayed.

Things that can affect the % UV Output are poor water quality, scaling of the quartz sleeve and/or sensor, lamp
failure, expired lamp life and sensor failure. The following screens show the % UV Output dropping on a monitored
system.
Once the UV output drops below 56%, the numbers and warning sign switch to red and a 15 second intermittent
audible chirp is given off by the ballast. When the output drops below 51%, the display switches to a solid red and
15 | P a g e

a constant audible signal is provided. The screens alternate between this solid red screen and another screen
indicating “water may be unsafe for consumption”. At this point, the controller also provides a signal to de-activate
the solenoid valve, shutting off the flow of water if a solenoid valve is installed on the system.

condition. When the controller passes the zero day threshold, the screen changes to solid red and cycles between
a red “lamp expired” screen and a “water may be unsafe for consumption” screen. The same intermittent audible
chirp is heard throughout this lamp expired sequence.
At any point during this sequence, the audible chirp can be deferred by holding the controller button down for a
period of five seconds. The screen shown below will appear for five seconds indicating that the audible defferal has
been activated and then the system switches back to the current lamp change or lamp expired screen. This audible
deferral will last for seven days after which then the alarm will sound once again. This audible deferral feature can
be activated as many times as you wish. PLEASE NOTE: During the condition of lamp expiration and audible
