Installation 

  1. Install Solclear UV sterilizer in a readily accessible and well-lit location to facilitate inspection and maintenance
  2. Inspect for hidden electrical wiring or plumbing prior to drilling holes.
  3. Attach mounting clips to the wall.
  4. Insert chamber through mounting clips.
  5. Connect to plumbing.
  6. Install quartz sleeve and lamp.

Note: Avoid touching the sides of the quartz sleeve and lamp, handle by the ends only.
Ultraviolet lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Pay attention when removing or replacing lamp and quartz sleeve.

  • Remove the aluminium / PVC nut (2).
  • Slide carefully the quartz sleeve (6) from one end to another end of the chamber.
  • Slide the O-ring (5) at the open end of quartz sleeve for Soclear 90 & 150.
  • For Solclear 300, please put O-ring (5) at the both end of quartz sleeve.
  • Tighten the aluminium / PVC nut (2) hand tight.
  • Slide the lamp (4) into the quartz sleeve.
  • Connect the lamp to the lamp socket.
  • Tighten the water proof strainer (1) into the aluminium / PVC nut (2).

  1. Turn on the water and inspect for leakages. Rectify as necessary.
  2. Plug the ballast into an electrical outlet. An electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) circuit is recommended.
  3. Run water through the chamber for 5-10 minutes prior to use.

REPLACING UV LAMP AND SERVICING UV SYSTEM:

  1. NOTE: Avoid touching the sides of the quartz sleeve and lamp, handle by the ends only.
  2. Disconnect power.
  3. Turn water off and open down stream of system to relieve pressure.
  4. Remove the water proof strainer (1) and unscrew the aluminium / PVC nut (2).
  5. Carefully withdraw lamp (4) approximately 2 inches from chamber (7).
  6. While holding lamp end carefully, remove lamp socket (3).
  7. Carefully withdraw lamp from chamber (7).
  8. Carefully remove O-ring (5) from the end of the quartz sleeve (6).
  9. Carefully remove the quartz sleeve (6).
  10. To reinstall, follow step 8 through 1 in reverse.

MAINTENANCE

To operate the Solclear UV sterilizer properly and attain its maximum efficiency, appropriate maintenance is to be performed as follows:

I. Quartz sleeve cleaning or replacement:
  • Quartz sleeve is to be cleaned every 6-12 months with glass cleaner.
  • Quartz sleeve is to be replaced every 24 months.
II. UV lamp replacement is recommended every 8,000-9,000 hours (approximately 12 months for continuous service) for Solclear 90 & 150, or 13,000 hours (approximately 1.5 years of continuous service) for Solclear 300 of operation.

Installation Instruction

The ballast has 3 ports:

  1. Dry contact signal output port
  2. Power input port
  3. Lamp output port
  4. The no. 1 port is a relay dry contact output. When the ballast is working normally, the dry contact is shorted, otherwise the dry contact is open. The withstand voltage is 250V, ampere rating is 5A. It can be connected to PLC, solenoid valve and others. If it is not used, please put the threaded cap on to avoid humidity and dust.
  5. The no. 2 port is power input port: standard power input port with 3pins. When plug the power cable into the input port, please push the plug into deep bottom of the port to have good contact.
