How It Works - XCLEAR UV-C 75W Manual

UV-C 75W AND 130W AMALGAM
Read this manual carefully before you install this filter.

HOW IT WORKS

Inside the reactor a UV-C lamp produces radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm. Radiation of
this type kills bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi (e.g. Legionella and Cryptosporidium). The UV-C
unit produces clean, fresh, clear water in an efficient, environmentally friendly way. The water
is fed through the UV-C device by a pump. The UV-C radiation neutralizes bacteria, viruses and
other micro-organisms and prevents them from reproducing. Floating algae is also destroyed by
this radiation, which greatly improves the clarity of the water. The UV-C unit is equipped with an
electronic ballast. This ballast ensures optimum performance of the lamp.
In addition, the stainless steel reactor reflects the UV-C radiation, increasing efficiency by up to 35%.
Thanks to the UV-C unit, the water is disinfected efficiently and safely, providing you with excellent
water quality. Overdosing with UV-C is not possible.
INSTALLATION OF EARTHING (DRAWING 1)
1. Before the plastic strain relief (4) is fitted on the earthing bolt (1), first pull the cable (2) through
the strain relief (4). Place the strain relief (4) about 10 cm from the eye (2) of the earthing cable.
2. Place the eye (2) of the cable over the earthing bolt that is attached to the housing.
3. Then place a serrated lock washer (3).
4. Attach the strain relief (4) to create a Ø5 cm loop.
5. Finally, place the second serrated lock washer (5) and the lock nut (6) on the earthing bolt.
6. Once the parts have been placed on the earthing bolt in the correct order, it can be tightened
with an 8 mm open-end or ring spanner.
Warning:
Always ensure proper earthing. In case of doubt about the earthing or the electrical
installation in general, always consult a qualified electrician. Incorrect earthing can be
dangerous and/or lead to corrosion of stainless steel or aluminium reactors.
Make sure the reactor is always grounded.
It is not permitted to flow an aggressive liquid through the reactor or add additives to the treated
water which may have a negative effect on corrosion or degradation of the materials that are used.
This to prevent dangerous situations and damage to the reactor and surrounding installations and /
or flora and fauna.
INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE (DRAWING 2)
Decide where you want to mount the device. The best place to install the UV-C device is directly
after the filter(s). See the schematic diagram in the operating instructions. Make sure there is always
water flowing through the device when the lamp is on. Never install the device in direct sunlight.
Install the device in a dry, well-ventilated area. The device can be installed either horizontally
