 2. General Principles

Information about UV irradiation

The use of UV RADIATION is now recognised as one of the finest technologies for disinfecting water.
The UV rays to be found in nature are reproduced using special very pure quartz lamps that contain
mercury vapour that, when suitably activated by means of a current passing between electrodes, emits
photons with varying amounts of energy in the deactivation phase, which results in the characteristic
UV spectrum.
The inactivity of the pathogen microorganisms is due to the damage caused to the molecules of the
nucleic acids by this radiation, which results in their cellular replication being compromised.
The fact that the water’s chemical/physical and organoleptic qualities are not altered, and the complete
absence of sub-products of disinfection, mean that it is currently one of the safest and most commonly
used technologies for disinfecting water.
Depending on their operating conditions, the MERCURY VAPOUR LAMPS are able to emit radiation
at differing wavelengths. Where the gases they contain are at low pressure and temperature, they
produce the characteristic monochromatic spectrum (UV-C, λ = 253,7 nm). Higher pressures and
temperatures make it possible for other wavelengths to be produced that provide the polychromatic
spectrum that is typical of MEDIUM PRESSURE lamps (UV-A, UV-B, UV-C).
In addition to the effective germicide action of the UV-C rays, the other UV components emitted cause
the photochemical degradation of some substances such as chloramines.
Constructor has made use of these favourable characteristics and has added MEDIUM PRESSURE
lamps to their UV-C de-bacterial UV plants (that use low pressure lamps), in order to take advantage of
all the potential of ultraviolet light.
Due to the higher output from the lamps, MEDIUM PRESSURE UNITS are able to treat large water
flow-rates, while remaining compact in size. When suitably sized for its germicidal action, UV-C also
provides a photochemical degradation effect.

General Directions
According to the European rules EN 60204-1 (safety of the set-up off the electrical equipment-general
rules) the low tension electrical instruments (rule 73/23/CEE and 93/68/CEE) must be connected to a
current-tap provided with grounding.

Safety directions
The light of ultra-violet lamps can cause serious burns to unprotected skin and eyes, therefore it is
recommended not to connect it to the current tap without having before ensured the UV lamp in its
housing and inserted the PVC cover.
Run-down lamps with mercury vapors should be considered special refuse.
For this reason you must get rit of them according the law.

Indications for the disposal

We remind that, according to what is fixed by D.L.25 july 2005, № 151 “Accomplishment of directives
2002/CE, 2002/96/CE and 2003/108/CE, concerning the reduction of the use of dangerous substances
in electric and electronic equipments, and the disposal of waste” both mercury vapours lamps and
electrical panels, when no more used, must be considered as special waste, and in the same way
disposed of.
To do that, it is possible to address to specialized centres for the recovery of dangerous materials, or to
contact directly our technical department.

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.

5
 3. Installation Guidance
Each UV Systems is made of an electrical panel and a stainless steel collector.
The reactor control panel utilises air cooling. The following guidelines must be adhered to when
locating the unit.

IMPORTANT:

9 The reactor and control panel must not be located in a position where the ambient air
temperature exceeds 30ºC.
9 The reactor and control panel must not be located adjacent to other equipment that directly emit
heat.
9 The reactor and control panel must not be located adjacent any chemical equipment that is
likely to emit fumes.
9 If the system is installed after the filters, it is recommended that a fine mesh strainer basket
should be incorporated downstream of the reactor to protect against glass particles entering the
pool in the unlikely event of the reactor internal glass thimble breaking in operation or during
routine maintenance.
9 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 pool flow to be
bypassed around the reactor during maintenance.
9 Chemical dosing connections should, where possible, be incorporated downstream of the
reactor.

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.

9.4.1 Alarm Thresholds Settings

In this menu the user can set the alarm values:

Max Temperature
Chamber: 50°C

Alarm Threshold Pre-Alarm Low

ENTER Irradiation.: 500 J/m2

Low Irradiation:
400 J/m2

Max Temperature Chamber: Visible in case of Rack Plus or SMP systems. This threshold level
define the max allowed water temperature in the UV chamber.

In case of flow absence the UV lamp(s) can increase the water temperature. This can
damage the lamps and the UV system. If the water temperature is higher then 50°C then the
system will shut off automatically and a message “SYSTEM OFF, HIGH
TEMPERATURE” is shown.

Factory Settings: 50°C

Pre-alarm Low Irradiation: Visible in case of Rack Plus or SMP systems. If UV output drops under
this warning threshold then a warning is registered. To avoid signal falling below safety threshold,
carry out immediate cleaning of lamp quartz sleeve or replace the lamp or improve water quality with
suitable pre- treatment.

Important! The sensor signal can be shown in a relative display (%) or in an absolute
display in W/m2. If the flow signal is available the system can calculate the UV Dose and so
the Irradiance will be expressed in J/m2. In all these case the threshold level has the same
unit of measurements.

Important! The warning threshold must be higher then the safety threshold.

Alarm Low Irradiation: Visible in case of Rack Plus or SMP systems. If UV output drops under this
threshold level then an alarm is registered.

Water that passes through the UV system when the irradiation is under this level can be non-
completely disinfected. Carry out immediate cleaning of lamp quartz sleeve or replace the
lamp or improve water quality with suitable pre- treatment.

Alarm relays switch when irradiation is under this safety threshold.

25
9.4.2 Flow Rate Settings (Optional on Request)

Available only in case that the UV system is provided with a flow meter or connected to an external
one. Set the parameter useful for the flow rate alarms and/or readings (see section “Flow Rate
Settings”).

Flow Meter ON/OFF: Set if the flow meter is available.

20 mA = : The UV system can read a 4/20 mA signal from the flow meter. If the flow meter is external
then the customer must set the correspondence between 20 mA and the flow rate measured.

4 mA = : The UV system can read a 4/20 mA signal from the flow meter. If the flow meter is external
then the customer must set the correspondence between 4 mA and the flow rate measured (usually 4
mA is 0 m3/h).
Never associate to 4 mA a flow rate higher than the correspondent to 20 mA.

Check Max Flow: Set if the user need to check the max flow rate and so to have an alarm in case the
flow rate is over this threshold level.
A too high flow rate can destroy the quartz sleeve or reduce the contact time with the UV so that the
water is not enough disinfected.

Check Min Flow: Set if the user need to check the min flow rate and so to have an alarm in case the
flow rate is lower then this threshold level.

Shut off for min flow: Turn off the lam(s) in case of water flow rate through the UV system lower
then the threshold level set in the previous section.
A too low flow rate can increase the water temperature and so ruin the UV system.

Shut off for no flow: Turn off the lamp(s) in case the water flow rate is 0 m3/h.
In case of flow absence the UV lamp(s) can increase the water temperature. This can damage the lamps
and the UV system. If the water temperature is higher then 80°C than the system will shut off
automatically and a message “SYSTEM OFF, HIGH TEMPERATURE” is shown. To prevent this the
user can decide to turn off the lamp immediately when the flow rate is 0 m3/h.

26
9.4.3 Intermittent Operation

In this menu the user can set the automatic start up and shut off hour of the UV Lamp(s).

Intermittent Operation ON: 08:30

ON/OFF OFF: 17:30

If the system is OFF the next start up hour will be visualized in the display.
If the system is ON the next shut off hour will be visualized in the display.

9.4.4 Lamp Post Burn

The user should prevent that water insufficiently disinfected may reach the consumer. Lamp post burn
delay time avoids that water insufficiently disinfected can pass during the start up.

Lamp Post Burn: Post Burn

ON/OFF 120 sec.

Usually during the start up the alarms are inhibited, if post burn delay time is ON then the alarms relays
are switched for all the post burned time. If automatic valves are connected to the UV systems relays
then this will remain close for all the post burn time. As results the water will not pass during the start
up time. Below time flow chart with identification of the valve position:

27
9.4.5 Irradiance 4/20 mA Settings (Optional on Request)

The UV system can have an 4/20 mA output available as optional.

This signal is available for the chamber temperature and the UV irradiance. The temperature signal is 4
mA for 0 °C and 20 mA for 100°C. The Irradiance 4/20 mA signal can be set by the user:

4/20 mA IRR Setting: 20 mA = 100%

ENTER 4 mA = 0% (*)

For example the user can associate 4 mA to 0% and 20 mA to 110% of irradiance. In case the
irradiance is shown in absolute measurement units (W/m2 or J/m2) the association can also be done by
the customer (ex: 4 mA to 0 W/m2 and 20 mA to 230 W/m2).

9.5 Menu Operation:

In this menu the user can do some operations on the UV system. The operation that may be done are:
restart the lamps hour meter, put the system in maintenance mode and calibrate the sensor (only in
Rack Plus / SMP UV versions):

In this configuration the system can work and the lamp remains on but no alarm will switch. In this
way the user can do maintenance (work on the sensor without alarms that may close the valves).

9.5.3 Sensor Calibration

9 Irradiance in %

With this operation the user confirms that the signal read by the UV sensor matches the 100% of the
irradiance of the lamps.

Sensor Calibration 100% = 1.413 mV

ENTER OK?

IMPORTANT:
The sensor must be calibrated on every lamp replacement.

IMPORTANT:
To calculate the IRR. FACTOR. it’ s important the sensor calibration in steady condition (the
time depends on the quality of water, it is about 30 min).

9 Irradiance in W/m2 (or Dose in J/m2):

The same operation is possible if the system expresses the irradiance in W/m2 (or the Dose in J/m2).

In this case the calibration can only be done by authorized peoples and with a reference
sensor.

The association of the sensor signal with the real Irradiance (W/m2) is done by the factory. Once time
per year the user should send the sensor to the factory to be calibrated.

 10. List of alarms and troubleshooting
Each alarm switches the main relays (free contact and 230 V contact) and a red led is lighted in the el.
Panel..
The following alarms can be shown in the UV System Display:

Lamp Failure Each lamp of the UV system is identified with a number.

This message is visualized when lamp number X is not working.

Possible Causes: Solutions:

9 Lamp Burned 9 Change the lamp

9 Ballast Burned 9 Change the ballast

In this case set the system in MAINTENANCE MODE if it is necessary to continue the disinfection with
the other lamp without alarms. If it’s not necessary then turn off the system and change the lamp or the
