4. Setup and Installation

This UV lamp is a direct replacement for specified Delta UV systems. Refer to your original Delta UV system's instruction manual for detailed installation procedures. The following are general guidelines:

  1. Power Disconnection: Always disconnect the power supply to the UV system before beginning installation.
  2. Cool Down: Allow the existing lamp to cool down completely if it was recently in operation.
  3. Remove Old Lamp: Carefully remove the old UV lamp from its housing. Handle with care as it may be fragile.
  4. Clean Quartz Sleeve (if applicable): If your system uses a quartz sleeve, inspect it for any deposits or damage. Clean it with a soft cloth and a mild acid solution (like vinegar) if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
  5. Install New Lamp: Gently insert the new LSE Lighting 70-18405 UV lamp into the lamp socket. Ensure the 4-pin base aligns correctly with the receptacle. Avoid touching the glass part of the lamp with bare hands; use gloves or a clean cloth to prevent oil residue, which can affect lamp performance and lifespan.

  7. Restore Power: Once the new lamp is securely installed and the system is reassembled, restore power to the UV system.
  8. Verify Operation: Confirm that the new UV lamp is operating correctly, typically indicated by a visual indicator on the UV system.

5. Operating Instructions

The LSE Lighting 70-18405 UV Lamp operates as part of a larger UV sterilization system. Once properly installed and powered, the lamp emits UV-C light, which is effective in neutralizing microorganisms in water or air, depending on the application.

  • The lamp is designed for continuous operation within its compatible UV system.
  • The UV-C light effectively targets bacteria, viruses, and algae without the use of chemicals.
  • Regular monitoring of your UV system's indicator light is recommended to ensure the lamp is functioning.

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your UV system, regular maintenance is crucial. The primary maintenance task for a UV lamp is timely replacement.

Lamp Replacement:

  • UV lamps have a finite effective lifespan, typically around 9,000 hours (approximately 12 months of continuous use), after which their UV-C output diminishes, even if the lamp still glows.
  • It is recommended to replace the LSE Lighting 70-18405 UV lamp annually to maintain effective sterilization.
  • Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps in Section 4 for safe lamp replacement.

Quartz Sleeve Cleaning (if applicable):

  • If your UV system includes a quartz sleeve, it should be cleaned periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to remove mineral deposits or bio-fouling that can block UV light transmission.
  • Always power off and disconnect the system before cleaning.
  • Use a soft cloth and a mild acid solution (like citric acid or vinegar) to clean the sleeve, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before reinstallation.

7. Troubleshooting
