SECTION 7: OPERATION
UV Intensity Sensor
The PLC monitoring system displays the UV intensity
as a function of percent (0%-100%); this UV intensity
measurement is a relative power measurement of the
UV energy inside the vessel and not a measurement
of UV dose. The relative UV intensity (power) must
be calibrated and will be performed once the system
has been in service for 100 hours.
Lamp Field Safety Cover
On all NSF-50 certied units there is a safety cap that
covers the electrical cables to the lamps. Removing
the Lamp Field Safety Cover or a cable connection
interruption will automatically shut o the UV system’s
lamp eld and generate an alarm signal.
Alarm Relays
A discrete output relay(s) circuit is provided to
allow for alarm signal of any of the following
monitored conditions: General Alarm, enclosure over
temperature, low UV intensity, vessel water overtemperature, end of lamp life, and lamp failure.

Quartz Sleeve Installation
See Page 10 for quartz sleeve installation procedure.
UV Vessel Cleaning
Purpose
Over a period of time, dissolved matter can build
up on the surface of the quartz sleeves and the
interior of the vessel aecting the eciency of the
UV disinfection process. Due to fouling, the available
intensity will decrease continuously until the quartz
sleeves are cleaned.
NOTE: The use of the optional wiping system merely
helps to decrease the frequency of the manual
cleaning cycle.
Please be aware that such a decrease also may be
caused by aging of the UV lamps or changes in the
water quality (UV transmission). Repeat of visual
inspections of the UV Sensor or of some example
quartz sleeves will help to determine the necessary
cleaning intervals needed. The removal of this buildup (calcium, etc.) can be carried out with a cleaning
pump. Pentair recommends the use of muriatic acid
to chemically clean the quartz sleeves. Materials
within the vessel chamber are highly resistant against
this acid.
General risk due to pressurized piping and UV
vessel!
General risk due to caustic cleaning agent!
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially
dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
First Aid Measures:
In case of skin exposure, to cleaning agent remove,
by washing with soap and water immediately.

Procedure
1. With the quartz sleeves still installed in the UV
vessel, turn o the Power Supply Enclosure with
the External ON/OFF Switch and unplug the UV
system from the electrical outlet.
2. Isolate the UV vessel from the water ow using
the required isolation valves and drain the vessel
completely.
3. Clear the work area and layout protective drop
cloths under the UV vessel.
4. Set up the acid transfer pump and attach the acid
input hose to the vessel’s water drain valve.
5. Attach an acid return/overow hose to the UV
vessel’s upper auxiliary service port and route
it back to the acid- resistant bucket. This will be
used as the Acid Overow Recovery Bucket.
6. Using the acid-resistant bucket as an acid supply
container, create a chemical solution of one part
muriatic acid to four parts water (1:4 acid-to-water
ratios).
UV Vessel Disassembly
Purpose
To disassemble the vessel for internal inspection.
Frequency
UV vessel disassembly is only required if a problem
has taken place, such as, quartz sleeve breakage. It is
recommended that the QSM (Quartz Sleeve Module)
Faceplate only be removed if necessary.
Parts and Equipment Required
• Adjustable and Torque Wrenches
• Socket Wrenches
• Clean Cotton or Silicon Gloves
• Flashlight
• Personal Safety Equipment
IMPORTANT: When creating the chemical solution,
always introduce the acid to the water
and introduce the acid as close to
the waterline as possible. This helps
prevent acid-to-skin contact resulting
from unnecessary splashing.
7. With all of the hoses attached to the UV vessel and
the acid transfer pump attached to the acid supply
container, pump acid into the UV vessel until full.
8. Once the UV vessel has been lled with acid, allow
the acid to remain in the vessel for 30 minutes.
9. Disconnect the acid transfer pump’s vessel feed
hose from the transfer pump and use this hose
to drain the acid from the UV vessel through the
vessel’s drain valve and into an acid-resistant
bucket.
10. After all of the acid has been drained from the
UV vessel and the cleaning procedure completed,
rinse the vessel chamber thoroughly to avoid
process water from coming in contact with the
cleaning agent. The rinse water may be taken
from a water tap with the help of a hose and lled
and drained through the unit’s drain valve port.
11. Neutralize old cleaning agent with bases, e.g.
sodium hydroxide solution, sodium carbonate
solution in compliance with all relevant rules for
accident prevention and local regulations.
General risk due to pressurized piping and UV
vessel!
Quartz Sleeves and UV lamps are fragile and
potentially dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
IMPORTANT: DO NOT Attempt to remove the QSM
Faceplate with the quartz sleeves
assembled. ALL lamps and quartz
sleeves MUST be removed before
disassembling the QSM Faceplate
from the UV vessel.
1. Turn o the Power Supply Enclosure with the
External ON/OFF Switch and unplug the UV system
from the electrical outlet.
2. Redirect water ow from the vessel using isolation
valves and drain the vessel completely.

5. With the vessel completely drained and the UV
lamps and quartz sleeves removed, loosen the
QSM Faceplate bolts in a diametric sequence.
Continue until all hardware is removed.
6. With fastening hardware removed, pull the QSM
Faceplate from the UV vessel.
7. Clean out the inside of the UV vessel using a mild
dish detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean
freshwater.
8. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of both the
QSM Faceplate and the UV Vessel.
IMPORTANT: Use a new QSM Faceplate Rubber
Gasket when re-assembling the
faceplate to the vessel. For replacement
parts please refer to Replacement
Parts list on Page 31 of this manual.
10. With the QSM Faceplate loosely aligned, push
the QSM Faceplate, with the rubber gasket, in
place onto the vessel. Next, loosely install (nger
tight) the supplied stainless steel hardware (bolts/
washers/nuts).
11. With the hardware loosely installed (nger tight)
ne tune the alignment of the #1 lamp position to
the 3 O’ Clock position. To verify proper alignment
install the #1 quartz sleeve as outlined on Page
10. The sleeve should go into its respective port
on the quartz sleeve coupler on the opposite end
of the unit without diculty. If when installing
the sleeve you nd it dicult to get the sleeve
to engage in its respective port on the quartz
sleeve coupler this is an indication that the #1
lamp position is not aligned properly in the 3 O’
Clock position. If this is the case, rotate the QSM
Faceplate either clockwise or counterclockwise
until the sleeve freely engages its respective port
on the quartz sleeve coupler.
12. Once the #1 lamp position is conrmed to be
properly aligned, establish uniform pressure over
the QSM Faceplate by tightening the bolts in 5
ft. • lb. increments in a diametrically opposed
(180°) sequence until the recommended torque is
obtained. See recommendations below.
9. Fit the QSM Faceplate Rubber Gasket onto the
alignment posts.
IMPORTANT: To properly align the QSM Faceplate,
set the #1 lamp position (as stamped on
the faceplate, next to the quartz sleeve
module) to the 3 O’ Clock position
when looking at the QSM Faceplate.
