4 Introduction

2 For your safety

General

Every person working with the submerged UV system must have read and understood this addendum manual, and the installation manual and operation manual of the Condair ME Control, before carrying out any work.

Knowing and understanding the contents of the manuals is a basic requirement for protecting the personnel against any kind of danger, to prevent faulty operation, and to operate the unit safely and correctly.

All ideograms, signs and markings applied to the unit must be observed and kept in readable state.

Qualification of personnel

All work described in this addendum manual may only be carried out by specialists who are well

trained and adequately qualified and are authorized by the customer.

For safety and warranty reasons any action beyond the scope of this manual must be carried out only by qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer.

It is assumed that all persons working with the submerged UV system and the Condair ME Control are familiar and comply with the appropriate local regulations on work safety and the prevention of accidents.

Intended use

The submerged UV system is intended exclusively for the operation in the evaporative module of the

Condair ME Control. Any other type of application, without the written consent of the manufacturer, is considered as not conforming with the intended purpose and may lead to the submerged UV system becoming dangerous.

Operation of the equipment in the intended manner requires that all the information contained in this addendum manual as well as in the installation manual and operation manual of the Condair ME

Control are observed (in particular the safety instructions).

Danger that may arise from the submerged UV system

DANGER!

Risk of electric shock!

The optional submerged UV system contains live mains voltage. Live parts may be exposed when the junction box and the Condair ME control unit is open. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life.

Prevention: Before commencing any work on the optional submerged UV system disconnect the mains supply voltage to the Condair ME control unit via the electrical isolator in the mains supply line, and secure electrical isolator in “Off” position against inadvertent switching on.

WARNING!

The UV lamps used in the submerged UV system emit harmful UV-C rays that can cause lasting damage to eyes and skin.

Prevention: The lamps must be installed underneath the banks of the evaporative cassettes out of direct line of sight. Never operate the UV lamp outside the evaporative module.

For your safety 5

Warning!

Risk from mercury contaminated glass!

The lamps used on the submerged UV system are constructed and operated with technology similar to that of domestic, fluorescent lamps. The lamp is filled with gas and mercury vapour at low pressure and will not explode. However, if broken there will be a risk from mercury contaminated glass.

Prevention: Dispose broken lamps separately in accordance with your local recycling laws and regul­ ations.

Safety reporting

All persons working with the submerged UV system are obliged to report any alterations to the submerged

UV system that may affect safety to the owner without delay and to secure such systems against

accidental power-up.

Prohibited modifications to the unit

No modifications must be undertaken on the submerged UV system without the express written consent of the manufacturer.

For the replacement of defective components use exclusively original accessories and spare parts available from your Condair representative.

3 System Overview / Principle of Operation

Submerged UV System consists of the following components:

– Power distribution box

– 1, 2 or 3 UV lamps in waterproof sleeves (depending on size of the evaporative module)

– 2 mounting brackets per lamp

Fig. 1: Scope of delivery

Principle of Operation

The UV lamps are positioned in the tank underneath the banks of the evaporative cassettes.

When the water level in the tank reaches the lower operating level the lamps switch on. UV light is effective in killing bacteria in water systems. However the Condair ME system should always be supplied with a clean water supply (refer to installation manual and operation manual).

System Overview / Principle of Operation 7

4 Installation work

4.1 Installing the UV lamp(s)

The installation procedure is dependant on whether the submerged UV system is retrofitted on an existing Condair ME Control system or on a new Condair ME Control system.

Note: Steps 1 to 4 must be performed only, if the submerged UV system is retrofitted on an existing Condair ME Control system. If the submerged UV system is installed on a new system proceed with step 5.

1. Isolate the water supply (close shut­off valve in the water supply line).

2. Drain the tank fully.

3. Isolate power supply to the control unit.

4. Dismantle droplet separator banks (if applicable).

5. Attach mounting brackets into corresponding slots of the cross bar.

Fig. 2: Attaching mounting brackets

8 Installation work

6. Carefully push the UV lamp assembly into the circular clips of the two corresponding brackets. Repeat for all UV lamps.

Installation work 9

4.2 Installing the power distribution box

The power distribution box is supplied with a flying lead already connected to the corresponding terminals inside the power distribution box. The power distribution box can supply up to three separate lamps and is to be installed on the air­off face of the tank using the bracket provided. Placement of the box will depend on what space is available and the direction of the inlet and drain pipe runs.

1. Select the position for the power distribution box to be placed, the attached bracket is designed to fit over the folded edge of the air­off face of the tank. The box must not be placed at the ends of the tank and should be positioned away from the power and water connections of the hydraulic module.

Note: if required the power distribution box can be positioned away from the tank, although the length of cable from the UV lamp to the box must be taken into consideration. The standard length of this cable is 2 metres, alternative positioning may not be possible on systems with more than one lamp.

2. Connect UV lamp cable(s) to one of the available plugs on the side of the power distribution box

(which one does not matter).

Note: number of plugs depends on the number of lamps on system

3. Run the 3 core connecting cable out the AHU to the Condair ME control unit.

Note: The cable feed through must be done by the customer and must be equipped with cable glands.

4. Secure 3 core connecting cable with cable ties at suitable intervals along the cable run to the Condair

ME control unit.

Note: ensure 3 core connecting cable is placed in such a way that the insulation is not damaged by sharp edges and so that it does not create a trip hazard or hinder correct maintenance of the components.

10 Installation work

4.3 Connecting the 3 core connecting cable to the terminals in the control unit

1. Isolate power supply to the Condair ME control unit.

2. Remove the front cover of the control unit.

CAUTION!

Electronic components are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Before proceeding with the next step, appropriate measures (ESD­protection) must be taken to prevent damage to electronic components.

3. Open the control unit inner door.

4. Lead 3 core connecting cable across the rectangular cable lead­through into the control unit and cut cable to length required.

4. Connect earth, live and neutral wires of the 3 core connecting cable to terminals “ U.V.” according to the wiring diagram below and the applicable local regulations. Ensure the cable between the AHU and control unit is secured and tidy.
