Routine Maintenance - TMC Pro Pond UV110 Advantage Instrucciones De Uso

To replace the fuse remove the complete white plastic tubular control pod
by undoing the two bolts holding it in place on the main unit and removing
the lamp lead assemblies from each lamp. Work with the mains cable
positioned to your right hand side. With the control pod free of the main
unit loosen the four black plastic lamp lead watertight grommets situated at
the left hand end of the control pod. On this end only also remove the
screw situated in the centre of the end section. Do not remove the
screw or loosen the mains cable at the right hand end. With the left
hand end section now free, hold the right hand end assembly and gently pull
out the right hand end assembly (approximately 75mm) until you expose the
fuse holder assembly. The fuse holder assembly is easily identified as it
carries a spare fuse that is clearly visible.
Once the fuse has been replaced, gently slide the assembly back into the
plastic tube and reassemble the left hand end section ensuring that the
screw is tightened correctly and all four watertight grommets are sufficiently
tightened to prevent any moisture entering the control pod.
Bolt the complete control pod back into the main unit and reconnect the lamp
end assemblies ensuring that you match the correct numbered lamp holders.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The UV lamps inside the Pro Pond unit have a useable life of 8000 hours. As
green water is only a problem during Spring and Summer, the lamps only need
to be replaced once a year in spring (see below).
As already mentioned, it is essential that the unit is protected from frost
during the Winter months, or disconnected from water and electricity
supplies and stored indoors during the Winter. During the Spring/Summer
season, the quartz sleeves, which separate the UV lamps from the water
passing through the unit, will need to be cleaned two or three times. This is
essential, as dirt or calcification building up on the quartz sleeves will inhibit
the penetration of the ultraviolet light into the water.
LAMP REPLACEMENT & QUARTZ CLEANING
Isolate from electrical and water supplies before carrying out any
maintenance.
Lampholder Restraint
A plastic lampholder restraint is fitted at either end of each lamp chamber to
prevent the lamp holders being accidentally removed while the unit is
connected to the mains. Each restraint is held in place with a self-tapping
screw. To carry out any routine maintenance these restraints must be
removed but it is essential to replace them once the maintenance work has
been done. In time it may be necessary to replace the fixing screw (no.8) with
a slightly larger screw.
To remove the lamp, carefully remove the blue lampholder shroud, then pull
the white plastic electrical end caps from the lamp end. Gently slide the
lamp out ensuring that no pressure is applied to the quartz sleeve. Next,
unscrew the two blue compression fittings located at either end of the
white plastic body and slide off the 'O' rings. Then slide out the quartz
sleeve. Clean the sleeve and polish with a soft cloth or paper towel. If you
live in a hard water area there may be some limescale on the quartz sleeve.
This can be easily removed by soaking the sleeve in a proprietary kettle
descaling solution (follow the manufacturer's instructions). Failure to remove
the limescale will limit the effectiveness of the UV lamp.
ASSEMBLY PROCESS
Slide the clean, dry quartz sleeve into the unit. Ensure that you locate the 'O'
rings carefully on the ends of the quartz. Failure to do so will result in leaks
when the water is turned on.
If you are carrying out the annual lamp change, use new 'O' rings. When you
re-assemble the unit, ensure that the female threads on the compression
fittings and the male threads on the main body are clean. Wipe a little silicon
grease or vaseline (NOT silicon sealant) onto these threads. As these threads
are only serviced periodically, this lubrication will help to prevent them binding
together. Then replace and firmly hand tighten the compression fittings.
Replace the lamp or fit a new one. Relocate the lampholders and blue
lampholder shrouds ensuring that you match the correct numbered lampholders.
NOTE: Pinch the blue lampholder shroud as you reassemble the unit to
release any trapped air. Failure to release the trapped air may cause the
lampholder to disconnect from the lamp end.
Reconnect and turn on the water supply to check for leaks before
reconnecting the electric supply.
IMPORTANT
The plastic body and blue compression fittings have been manufactured from
polymers that have been specifically stabilised to protect them from the effects
of the UVC emitted from the UV lamp. Despite this UV protection they will be
eroded by a combination of the UVC and water flow. As a matter of course
they should be inspected whenever a lamp change is carried out, to ensure they
are not showing excessive wear and tear. Replacement parts are available from
Tropical Marine Centre and its agents.
