3.0 Safety measures and regulations

The equipment must be installed, put into operation and
maintained by trained specialists. The owner and/or user must
ensure that the operating personnel have been suitable instructed.
The equipment has been subjected to a hazard analysis,

corresponding precautionary measures regarding the safety of
persons and domestic animals have been made. Nevertheless, it
is still possible that danger could arise as a result of incorrect
use, bad maintenance, material changes, etc. These dangers are
associated with:
Electricity
Mechanical dangers
Exposure to high intensity UV light
3.1 Electricity
The lightning flash and arrowhead symbol is to alert the user to
the presence of un-insulated "DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” within
the enclosure.
The equipment may only be opened if the mains supply is

isolated. The mains supply must not be restored as long as the
equipment is open. This applies to both the electrical control panel
and the reactor vessel.
ATTENTION:
Working on live equipment is forbidden.
3.2 Mechanical dangers

The reactor wiper system contains rotating parts and therefore the
wiper drive unit cover plates should only be removed by trained
personnel after electrically isolating the system.
The equipment contains glass which must be handled with care.

3.3 Exposure to high intensity UV light
The reactor contains UV emitting lamps and if exposed while
energised can cause serious eye and skin damage. Ensure that
the mains supply is isolated before opening any of the covers of
the reactor.
WARNING:
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can cause damage to eyes and
skin. Always switch off the UV lamp before removing the end cap.

Triogen
4.0 Installation guidance

4.1 Installing the UV System
The UV system control panel is designed to be bulkhead mounted

utilising the rear enclosure mounting brackets which incorporate
fixing holes.
The reactor vessel is designed to be mounted utilising the bracket

fitted to the end flanges of the vessel.
IMPORTANT:
The reactor control panel utilises air cooling. The following

guidelines must be adhered to when locating the unit.
• The reactor and control panel must not be located in a position

where the ambient air temperature exceeds 40ºC.
• The reactor and control panel must not be located adjacent to
other equipment that directly emit heat
• The reactor and control panel must not be located adjacent any
chemical equipment that is likely to emit fumes.
• The reactor should be located within the piping system in such
a manner as to ensure that sufficient clearance is available in a
horizontal direction to allow for lamp replacement and wiper
maintenance where fitted. See the relevant data information
included in this manual.
• The reactor must be positioned with the inlet & outlet flanged
pipe connections pointing in an upwards direction.
INFORMATION:
Do not install the reactor vertically or rotate it around its horizontal

axis. The direction of water flow through the vessel is not
important.
• It is recommended that the main piping incorporates a valved
bypass around the reactor as well as isolating valves for the
inlet and outlet connections thereby allowing the water flow to
be bypassed around the reactor during maintenance.
INFORMATION:
Failure to comply with any of the above criteria could effect the
operation and warranty of the unit and have an adverse effect on
the long term reliability and lifespan of the system.
O&M Manual - Page 10

Triogen
4.2 Mechanical Connection
The reactor vessel is supplied with BS4504 NP10 or ANSI 150RF

flanges for connection to the water piping system. The flange type
required should be specified at the time of order. Refer to section
2.2 for the relevant flange size.
Where the reactor is to be connected to uPVC pipework or similar,

it is recommended that 90 deg stainless steel elbows should be
fitted to the reactor inlet & outlet connections to stop UV light
penetration which could deteriate plasticised materials.
Isolating valves should be fitted in the piping to the inlet and outlet
of the reactor to allow isolation for general maintenance. These
should be fitted after the 90º elbows to avoid UV attack on the
valve seals.
INFORMATION:
Never attach valves directly to the inlet and outlet reactor
connections.
4.3 Electrical Connection
Main Supply
The mains power connection is made to the bottom of the main

interlock isolator fitted in the control panel.
INFORMATION:
The cable size and supply circuit breaker must be sufficient to
meet the local regulations and the specified requirements in
section 2.3.

• The operation of the temperature sensor.

INFORMATION:
When disconnected, measure the resistance of the sensor. It

should be a low value. If it is high (>500Ω) change the sensor.
INFORMATION:

IMPORTANT:
The reactor temperature fault is to protect the system against

overheating in the event of low flow conditions. It is not a control
device and must not be used to replace the required interlock
between the system and the pool main circulating pumps.
8.7 Warning indication- Low UV Intensity (Optional)
This warning is indicated by the text “Low UV Intensity” flashing

It indicates that.
• The UVARAY control card has registered a UV intensity

below 60% while the power of the UV Lamp is at full.
For this check.

• The reading of the UV and the sensor.
INFORMATION:
The UV sensor generates a 0 – 10V dc signal that is input to the

UVARAY control card. This signal can be measured to confirm the
sensors operation. Note, it is not uncommon for this voltage to be
less than 1V for full power operation.
• The sensor cable and connections.
• The sensor power supply unit.
• The sensor adaptor.
• The UV lamp quartz thimble (for contamination).
• The UV lamp quartz thimble has reached the end of its
rated life.

Triogen
• For a change in the pool water quality.

• If the UV lamp is at the end of its rated life.
• The sensor was properly calibrated at the last lamp
change.
• For a fault in the ballast(s) or control circuit causing the
system to operate at Low Power.
INFORMATION:
The UV thimble has a life of approx. 2 years. After this time the
solarisation that has occurred to the glass will reduce the UV light
passed into the water.
8.8 Warning indication- Lamp(s) Change Required
This warning is indicated by the text “Lamp Change Required”

flashing on the fourth line of the main screen.
It indicates that.
• The UVARAY control card has registered that the UV

Lamp is at the end of its rated life.
For this.
• Change the UV Lamp.
• Re-set the Lamp hours counter.
INFORMATION:
When this warning is given the Lamp hours shown in the Hours
Run screen should be at least 6000 hours.
INFORMATION:
Illumination of the Lamp Change Required warning means that

the level of UVc light emitted at a specific wavelength has
dropped below the level required to give the proper disinfection. It
does not mean that the lamp will fail to illuminate.
