7. After the sterilizer has been in use for some time, the O-Ring may lose its
shape or may adhere to the lamp/Sleeve. A new O-Ring (original
manufactures's replacement) is strongly recommended. Ensure the O-
Ring and sealing area are clean prior to assembly.
8. Place the new O-Ring onto the Lamp/Sleeve approximately 2" from the
electrical pins of Lamp/Sleeve (refer to diagram 17).
9. Align the Lamp/Sleeve into sleeve bolt locking position, then insert into the
reactor chamber. Thread the sleeve bolt by hand until it begins to seat on
the O-Ring, then tighten and additional 1/4 to 3/8 turn. DO NOT over-
tighten, as over-compression of the O-Ring will not improve sealing.
10. Reconnect the Lamp/Harness. Secure the lamp harness in place by applying
pressure to the rigid black snap-in cover disk so that it snaps fully into the
sleeve bolt.
11. Open the product shutoff valve. (Refer to diagram 18).
12. Reconnect the power supply. Reset the computer to end purge. Check
the green light on the side of the case for a steady glow. Note that the
alarm buzzer will sound for a few seconds until the lamp/sleeve reaches
operating conditions.
13. Enter the new lamp/sleeve replacement date on the replacement label
provided and attach to the label to the reactor chamber. Replace the front
cover with the screws removed earlier. Water vending machine is now
operational.
B. QUARTZ SLEEVE and CLEANING PROCEDURE
ATTENTION: IN MANY CASES AFTER THE STERILIZER HAS BEEN IN US FOR SOME
TIME, THE O-RING WILL TEND TO ADHERE TO THE QUARTZ SLEEVE.
THIS PRESENTS NO PROBLEM IF LEFT ALONE. HOWEVER, IF THE
O-RING IS REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE, A NEW REPLACEMENT IS
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, AS THE SURFACE OF THE OLD O-RING
COULD BE DAMAGED AND BE THE CAUSE OF LEAKAGE.
1. Follow steps in the Untraviolet Lamp Replacement Procedure section for removal of the Lamp/Sleeve.
2. Clean the Lamp/Sleeve with a commercial scale remover (such as
Lime-Away or CLR). When using acidic solution (scale remover) for
cleaning follow the manufacturer's directions for safety. After the
Lamp/Sleeve is cleaned handle it by the ends only. Avoid touching the
Lamp/sleeve glass with fingers as skin oils will impair proper ultraviolet
radiations. (Refer to diagram 19).
